RE: [docbook-apps] Wiki to DocBook

["David Cramer" <dcramer@motive.com>]

MoinMoin has a "Render as DocBook" feature. Use a recent (> 1.7.x) version of MoinMoin. In older versions it produced invalid DocBook.

 

For Confluence, I know of (but have never used) a commercial product/plugin that is supposed to export to DocBook: http://www.scrollyourwiki.com/index.php?page=product

 

I'm always happy to see more wiki2docbook tools. For tech pubs groups wikis are a good way to get developers to provide a first cut at content. Wiki2docbook scripts give you a rough conversion to a useful format. The tech writer can add finer semantics while working with the content.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Wiki to DocBook

Hi All,

I apologize if this is not the right mailing list for this topic.

I have my Wiki to DocBook project at:
http://code.google.com/p/wits-parser/

It is a POC tool that converts input files of certain wiki formats to Sun Microsystems' SolBook XML and DocBook V5 XML.

I would like to know if any of you have worked on a similar too to convert a much flattened format like wiki to a rich structured format.

Thanks again
Frank Jennings
