{{Old|EN}} OpenOffice.org versions 2.4 and later have a MediaWiki [[export]] filter built in. Just open a Writer document and click '''File''' - '''Export'''. Then, change '''File format''' to '''MediaWiki'''. == Overview == I found on the [http://mouchevii.free.fr/wiki/ La Mouche] wiki an XSLT file and instructions (in french) on how to convert from OpenOffice SXW format to MediaWiki. I changed a bit the XSLT file, but "La Mouche" wiki is not editable any more (closed?). So I would like to post the file here and copy the instructions... Unfortunately I can't find how to post a file! Can someone help me? (When trying to copy the file on the server it says (in French) that .xslt is not a recommanded image file format...) The original instructions are in French [http://mouchevii.free.fr/wiki/index.php?title=Convertir_un_document_OpenOffice_en_page_MediaWiki here], and are translated to English as follows: This XSLT is modified from [http://uniwakka.sourceforge.net/OpenOffice2UniWakka OpenOffice2UniWakka] to convert some of the OpenOffice styles to MediaWiki. Currently it supports the following styles: *Heading levels 1 to 8 *Underlined text *Italic text *Bold text *Centered text There are still style elements that work for UniWakka, which I will (maybe) develop for MediaWiki with my needs. == Installation == First, download the XSLT: [http://mouchevii.free.fr/fichiers/OpenOffice2MediaWiki/OOo2MediaWiki.xslt.gz OOo2MediaWiki.xslt.gz] The XSLT is then installed into OpenOffice as a file export filter. Launch OpenOffice, go into the '''Tools''' menu, select '''XML Filter Settings''' then click the '''New''' button. Fill out the resulting dialog box as follows: *'''Filter name:''' <tt>MediaWiki</tt> *'''Application:''' <tt>OpenOffice.org Writer (.sxw)</tt> *'''Name of file type:''' <tt>MediaWiki</tt> *'''File extension:''' <tt>txt</tt> Go to the '''Transformation''' tab and browse for the downloaded XSLT file to select the '''XSLT for export''' == Usage == To convert a document, go to '''Export''' in the '''File''' menu, and set the '''File format''' to <tt>MediaWiki (.txt)</tt>, then click '''Save'''. The resulting text file can then be pasted into a MediaWiki article. == Related pages == *[[Odt2Wiki]] for conversion from OpenOffice.org 2.0 (odt) to MediaWiki. [[Category:Wiki]]
