Transforming HTML to WikiText[edit | edit source]
Transforming (hopefully well-formed) HTML to WikiText is required if you want to import HTML content into a wiki. Some editors do well at this, and perhaps the best editor to do this is the Visual editor which now is the default editor for the MediaWiki project.
Parsoid[edit | edit source]
The mw:Parsoid[1] project gives the ability to parse HTML, however the results definitely need to be examined to see how it might be able to work. Take a look at the mw:Parsoid/MediaWiki DOM spec for capabilities.
Example usage
cat uvm.html | webapps/wiki/extensions/parsoid/tests/parse.js --html2wt
Other Classes or Libraries[edit | edit source]
The 'Wikilog' extension [2] is a MediaWiki extension that adds "blogging" features [3] to MediaWiki (e.g. http://laussy.org/wiki/Blog). One aspect of the project is a PHP class that transforms HTML to wiki text. See https://github.com/mediawiki4intranet/Wikilog/blob/master/HtmlToMediaWiki.php Also, the Wikilog extension makes use of namespaces to create multiple blogs.
