Hi Rob! There is a conversion script by Borislav Manolov and Magnus Manske: https://toolserver.org/~magnus/html2wiki.php It does a good job when the markup is simple. There has to be a download version somewhere, too.
The other way would be to write a little maintenance script which processes the HTML using php's DOMDocument or SimpleXML and produces WikiText. That's a little more work to do, but when you have a uniform source html it's not too hard and delivers pretty good results. -- Robert Vogel Social Web Technologien Softwareentwicklung Hallo Welt! - Medienwerkstatt GmbH Residenzstraße 2 93047 Regensburg Tel. +49 (0) 941 – 66 0 80-198 Fax +49 (0) 941 - 66 0 80-189 www.hallowelt.biz [email protected] Sitz: Regensburg Amtsgericht: Regensburg Handelsregister: HRB 10467 E.USt.Nr.: DE 253050833 Geschäftsführer: Anja Ebersbach, Markus Glaser, Dr. Richard Heigl, Radovan Kubani -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Rob Sporing Gesendet: Mittwoch, 5.

Most of the entries are very straight forward text entries. Only a few have some simple tables and images. Nothing very complicated. If the tables even get a little messed up I can easily fixed that later because there are so few of them. If you know of a automated import tool that can help that would be great. Thanks again.
