== 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 MediaWikidirectly 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 ===
