Hello,
Before I start reinvinting the wheel ... I have a feeling that some people were already doing some basic wikimedia2context syntax conversion.
I would like to create PDF out of some wiki pages with very limited number of used commands. I have created a simple ruby script that fetches all the contents that I want in the final PDF, all that is left to be done is conversion from wiki to tex syntax: - replace =...= with \section{...}, ==...== with \subsection{...}, ===...=== with \subsubsection{...}, ... - replace ''...'' with {\bf ...}, '''...''' with {\it ...}, '''''...''''' with {\bi ...} - all lines starting with a space should be printed verbatim - lines starting with * should be bulleted itemize - lines starting with # should be numbered itemize - some trivial replacements like > - some links: [[abc def]] should become symlinks to begining of sections with that title - [[Image:chap1-f2.jpg|frame|Figure 1.2: Cylindrical scanner]] should become \placefigure{Cylindrical scanner}{\externalfigure[chap1-f2.jpg]} - a few tables
If you are comfortable with writing PEG grammar (I'm not), writing a mediawiki parser for luanamark[1] might be a good choice, it has a ConTeXt writer already (and markdown parser). I pet pandoc have mediawiki support as well, so you may try it. [1] https://github.com/jgm/lunamark Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Egyptian Arab
