There is a program called txt2tags that might be able to help: http://txt2tags.sourceforge.net/ It can certainly convert plain text to Moin. There are limitations, though, in that it will not necessarily convert everything properly by default. Tables or diagrams which have lines created from dashes, for instance (as in your 3-Button-Mouse.txt), will not turn out properly in the conversion. An advantage to txt2tags is that it can be run from the command line or from a GUI, so it would make short work of converting a whole bunch of files. Each resulting file could then be edited (possibly as a batch) to have {{{ as the first line and }}} as the last line so that the pages themselves would be presented in their raw form once they're in the wiki. From there they'd need to be manually finished off by humans who would undo the {{{ and }}} and observe the result, making changes as needed to get the information to present properly. An alternative is to edit the txt2tags configuration file so that it converts documents exactly the way you want it to. I've never done this, but my understanding is that it can be done, and I believe there are instructions on the site for how to go about it. I happen to love and use the txt2tags program all the time, so I'd be happy to help you figure it out if you decide to try it. -- Little Girl There is no spoon. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

For me it do nearly nothing. I first tried the online version http://txt2tags.sourceforge.net/online.php For example, pasting this in the window: "It can certainly convert plain text to Moin. There are limitations, though, in that it will not necessarily convert everything properly by default. Tables or diagrams which have lines created from dashes, for instance (as in your 3-Button-Mouse.txt), will not turn out" (part of your mail, with added carriage return) gives exactly the same thing as Moin code, no change at all, when the main problem with text is the fact Moin needs *two* carriage return between paragraphs. Pasting this in Moin certainly don't gives any good result. command line gives exactly the same result. In fact there should be <<BR>> at the end of any line or a second <CR> sorry :-( jdd -- jdd for the Linux Documentation Project http://wiki.tldp.org http://www.dodin.net | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
