Overview

As u may guess from title 😊 Tiki Sucker is a feature to convert remote files (is there need to convert local files?) from HTML into wiki page.

What Has Been Implemented

• Look at wiki edit form for 'Import HTML' field. Type here URL (with http:// prefix) of page u want to import.
• Set 'Try to convert HTML to wiki' as needed
  • If set Tiki Sucker will parse HTML and generate wiki page with wiki syntaxes of corresponding HTML tags
  • If blank Tiki Sucker will append pure HTML text to the end of current page
• Recognized wiki syntaxes
  [+]
  1. bold
  2. italic
  3. monospaced
  4. undeline
  5. centered text
  6. headers
  7. colored text (by HTML <font> tag)
  8. links
  9. images (including linked images)
  10. page title (HTML <title> tag) become <H1> header
  11. lists: ordered/unordered, mixed lists, depth
  12. tables (new style wiki tables generated)

Future Plans

This is ugly implementation of wiki HTML import. I think it should be plugable import/export converters with ability to choose from edit form what converter to use for operation.
In case of import converter, it can try to guess what source file is (using mime type from remote server response).
Of couse converters may have itsown configuration panel what should be pluged into wiki page edit form too... (like HTML importer may have flags 'strip HTML tags' and 'try to convert HTML to wiki' 😊 At least one export filter for wiki already coded 😊 — PDF exporter...
