I found this converter: http://www.uni-bonn.de/~manfear/html2wiki-tables.php So I guess I will use this one. If anyone has an idea about a better one, please post it here. [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 02:05, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

:Nice! There's also this: http://diberri.dyndns.org/wikipedia/html2wiki/ which seems nice enough, but until we try them we won't be able to see the problems they may produce. It's a good start however, given that the Rerource pages are not that complicated anyway! [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]]
::I use the [http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/wikipublisher "Sun Wiki Publisher"] extension for OpenOffice which allows to directly upload the article with OpenOffice. Btw, it would be cool if we can '''insert the "prettytable" classes into the stylesheet of the Wiki'''. That's what they did in Wikipedia and that's what OpenOffice relies to when exporting tables. Maybe it is good to have a "How to convert articles" chapter on this page, too, so conversion process can get somewhat unified. -[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 14:12, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
:::Wow... that's amazing! And you say it can automatically publish onto a mediawiki installation? Fantastic... [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]]
:Yes, sure. As long as this temp. page is existing this makes sense. Don't know if we should keep this page later, when all articles are linked in the "programming", "tech docs" etc. lists. [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 19:13, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Before converting another article, please make sure, that it's not already existing in the CPC-Wiki. There are a lot of articles, which have already been converted in the past.
Example:<br> [[A guide to running software on a real Amstrad CPC/CPC Plus computer|A guide to running software on a real Amstrad CPC/CPC Plus computer]] (old one by CPCLER) <br> [[A guide to running software on a real Amstrad CPC/CPC+ computer|A_guide_to_running_software_on_a_real_Amstrad_CPC/CPC+_computer]] (new one by Octoate) <br> [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 11:12, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
:Uh... my fault. But not much time wasted as the process with conversion is normally very fast when using OpenOffice. I mirrored Kevins homepage locally and now use those files to convert the pages. Works great :). -[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 14:12, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
:::Well, that's no problem, but the size of the compressed file is 25MB, so I am not sure if it makes sense to upload it here. I used [http://www.httrack.com/ HTTrack] for mirroring. So shall I upload it or do you want to mirror it by yourself? -[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 23:02, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
:::Is there a meaning in offline mirrors? It's not like it goes up and down, or that it's big or anything... Anyhow, I think that something like Megaupload or Rapidshare would be better.
:::Or.... hm, would it make any sens to also offer a zipped archive for download? I think not, but I'm just asking... [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]]
