Formatted text, including HTML, Word of OpenOffice documents, can
wikEd
The easiest method is to use wikEd. Once you install this on your Appropedia account, you can easily copy formatted text to the edit box, hit [w] ("wikify"), and you're most of the way there.
This seems to work best for HTML.
OpenOffice
- Open the file or copy the content in OpenOffice 2.3 or greater;
- Export to MediaWiki format (should beFile menu -> Export -> MediaWiki[verification needed]).
(If this is inadequate (e.g. for dealing with images and references) then we have worked out some VB macro code, and will post everything we know. First need to upgrade and try out the feature. --Chriswaterguy · talk 16:52, 7 February 2008 (PST))
Images
Are images saved automatically during file export from OpenOffice? Tags to indicate image location?
PDF documents
These must first be converted to formatted text (see Help:Porting PDF files to MediaWiki), then to MediaWiki using one of the methods above.
Other methods
These haven't been tried yet:
- mw:Extension:Send2Wiki (uses html2wiki) -- allows quick conversion with a browser's bookmarklet.
[HTML->MediaWiki converter] -- demo of the HTML::WikiConverter perl module. (See also WikiConverter.)
