Hi all,

Anybody know of a script or parser that could convert HTML files INTO mediawiki markup? We have a whole bunch of rescued wiki pages from archive.org, but they are only the HTML display version. Cutting and pasting the html into the mediawiki edit window isn't working as cleanly as I thought it might, so I'm looking for something that would strip out markup mediawiki doesn't accept.

In ubuntu linux:

sudo apt-get install libhtml-wikiconverter-mediawiki-perl

then use html2wiki

(untested but seems to be built for just this job)
