Converters

HTML to Wiki

  • Here are converters that will magically transform HTML (web) pages (including tables) into Wiki pages:

http://www.uni-bonn.de/~manfear/html2wiki-tables.php

To use it: open the HTML file in an editor such as Mozilla's free open-source Seamonkey, view it in HTML mode, highlight and then copy it, paste it into the top window of the converter website, click the Convert button, then highlight and copy it from the bottom window. To place the converted table on a wiki page, click the edit button on that page, position the cursor where you want the table, and paste the table into the edit window and then click Preview to make sure it worked as you wanted.

Different interface, and different conversion results. Possibly easier to use, since you can use the method described above or put in web addresses of the page(s) to convert. Seems to handle more HTML tags, so fewer glitches need manual fixing after conversion.
