VE does a pretty good job for one-off conversions. I'm looking for a tool that non-technical staff can use for converting large numbers of docs into mostly usable wikitext. I don't know without more (recent) research whether Pandoc or LibreOffice supports better conversion. Just wondering if anyone has setup something like this or knows of its existence.
