html2wiki … WikiConverter.pm

Have you ever wondered how to translate the content of an html page into appropriate wiki syntax? html2wiki is a website that does the conversion for you! All you have to do is:

  1. Dump raw html into the form, or point the site at a url somewhere
  2. Select the wiki dialect you want (mediawiki, usemod, … currently 10 different wiki dialects in all)
  3. Set a few optional flags
  4. Let ‘er rip!

Best of all, the perl module WikiConverter.pm is free software available from cpan.

    […] I read about a cool tool on RecentChanges.info. This tool converts html to wiki syntax (10 wiki dialects to choose from). […]
