Word2MediaWiki Plus

Bearbeiten

Dieser Konverter wandelt Word-Dokumente so um, dass sie in ein MediaWiki kopiert werden können und in etwa gleich aussehen. Hierbei wird die Textformatierung übernommen, Tabellen und Listen umgewandelt und eingebundene Bilder können in verschiedene Formate (jpg, png, gif, bmp) umgewandelt werden und auch automatisiert in das Wiki hochgeladen werden. Details siehe unten.
Es handelt sich um Makros, die in Microsoft Word eingebunden werden müssen.

Ergänzungen und Kommentare bitte auf der Diskussionsseite.
Anregungen und Beispiele, die sich nicht gut konvertieren lassen, bitte an meine Mailadresse: Word2MediaWikiPlus@beadsoft.de

Alle folgenden Informationen sind auf englisch.

Customizing (most important)

Bearbeiten
Const isCustomized = False
True: Shuts off info about not having customized
Const DefaultStyleName$ = "Standard"
german word, Standard-Formatvorlage
Const DefaultStyleName$ = "Default Paragraph Font" 'english word
Const WikiSearchTitle$ = "Suchergebnisse"
german 'needed to open wiki-page after converting
Const WikiSearchTitle$ = "Search" 'english 'needed to open wiki-page after converting
Const WikiAddressRoot$ = "http://localhost/wiki/"
Your Wiki: The URL before the Articl-name, must have trailing /
Const ImageConvertAuto As Boolean = True
if false, the image conversion and upload routine is disabled. Problematic routine because of SendKeys-usage, details see in MediaWikiConvertImages
Const ImageUploadAuto As Boolean = True
if false, the Upload function is disabled

ToDo - or what does not work

Bearbeiten
  • smooth installation routine
  • lists: lists which have blank lines in between
  • lists: lists with blank spaces inbetween
  • footnotes
  • maybe a litte fine tuning of merged cells
  • I would need some free converter programs from BMP to JPG, PNG and GIF, which support command line options.
  • Some feedback and customizing on english environment would be nice, so if you use Word in english, write me your settings.
