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 Maybe there is more, but I think that this covers the majority of contents. The solution doesn't have to be too robust and I don't care what language it is written in (I just need a printed manual and I have no problem manually tweaking the pitfals after the conversion if needed). I can start writing regular expressions, but in case that somebody has an almost-ready-to-use solution, that would be much better than doing everything from scratch. (A Lua function that would simply read in a plain wiki file would be nice, but I have never tried to gain deep understanding of "parsing" in lua.) Thanks a lot, Mojca
