Rather, I’m looking at tools that convert an entire document or set of documents from one output format to another. Examples of these not-included tools are dynamically-rendered RSS feeds, Twitter feeds, extracts of code from source repositories, etc. I haven’t included the various widgets, gadgets and macros that allow you to include content onto a wiki page dynamically from another source, so that the external content is displayed to the user when the wiki page is rendered. If you know of other tools not mentioned here, I’d love it if you add a comment to this post. It’s by no means complete, its order is decidedly random, and it focuses on Confluence and MediaWiki more than on other wikis, because Confluence is the wiki I use and MediaWiki is a biggie.
Here’s the resulting motley collection of tools that convert to/from wikis to/from wherever/whatever. Now I’ve added a bit of web searching to the mix. But what of other formats, and what about tools for getting content into wikis as well as out of them?įor the past couple of months I’ve been writing myself notes whenever I see mention of such a tool.
#MEDIAWIKI VS.CONFLUENCE PDF#
Most wikis allow you to convert their pages at least to PDF and HTML. It’s becoming more and more interesting, if not essential, for wikis to support the import and export of content to and from other formats. As wikis mature, we’re using them for more complex business cases such as technical documentation, business analysis and project management.
