== Other conversion tools ==
 
Html2Wiki relies on <code>pandoc</code> to do format conversion.  Here are some other approaches to doing conversions.
 
=== LibreOffice ===
 
LibreOffice Writer can connect to a Wiki, and allow you to edit and save articles in the wiki.
 
* Make sure your LibreOffice can export MediaWiki directly from any format that LibreOffice can read
 
sudo apt-get install libreoffice-wiki-publisher
 
With this library installed, you can now export documents straight out of LibreOffice.
 
 
=== Two-step conversion ===
 
This isn't really better than using LibreOffice directly, but it is an option to at least compare the output (assuming direct export is giving a bad result)
 
* Convert a doc to mediawiki by converting to HTML first, and then using <code>pandoc</code> to convert HTML to MediaWiki markup
 
libreoffice --headless --convert-to html /tmp/awk.cheat.sheet.doc && \
 
pandoc awk.cheat.sheet.html -o awk.cheat.sheet.mw -f html -t mediawiki
 
 
=== Online conversion ===
 
https://devotter.com/converter is a webform interface to pandoc
