Other conversion tools

Html2Wiki relies on pandoc to do format conversion. Here are some other approaches to doing conversions.

LibreOffice

LibreOffice Writer can connect to a Wiki, and allow you to edit and save articles in the wiki.

Make sure your LibreOffice can export MediaWiki directly from any format that LibreOffice can read

sudo apt-get install libreoffice-wiki-publisher

With this library installed, you can now export documents straight out of LibreOffice.

Two-step conversion

This isn't really better than using LibreOffice directly, but it is an option to at least compare the output (assuming direct export is giving a bad result)

Convert a doc to mediawiki by converting to HTML first, and then using pandoc to convert HTML to MediaWiki markup

libreoffice --headless --convert-to html /tmp/awk.cheat.sheet.doc && \
pandoc awk.cheat.sheet.html -o awk.cheat.sheet.mw -f html -t mediawiki

Online conversion

https://devotter.com/converter is a webform interface to pandoc

Note: MediaWiki/Toolbox explains how we add a custom link to the "toolbox" element of this site.
