Talk:25 January 2007

Excellent! Thanks, I've been waiting for this one for a while. Very useful indeed.--Milan 04:04, 25 Jan 2007 (NZST)

Lemme know how it goes, I'll add it onto the AWG if it's good - that Word2MediaWiki test looked pretty good too... still would need some post-conversion attention to make docs consistent, but it would probably take 90% of the work out of it. --Nad 04:37, 25 Jan 2007 (NZST)

Yeah I was quite impressed with that Word2MediaWiki converter, had some problems with the open office ones, which meant I couldn't get them to work. Best to use the MS converter anyway if the client is using MS, other wise I am converting twice. There was some ugly formatting in the source doc (floating boxes) which created some bad wikicode, but that can easily be remedied. I am very happy about the way it handles tables. Regarding the PDF export, it doesn't like hack-jobs like my portals but it does a good job on articles like "About the project". It even does hyperlinked TOCs :-). But it doesn't handle wiki-links too well, maybe that's just a matter adjusting some setting. Haven't seen how it handles images yet...--Milan 05:03, 25 Jan 2007 (NZST)
