HTML::WikiConverter::MediaWiki 0.55

HTML::WikiConverter::MediaWiki is a Perl module used to convert HTML to MediaWiki markup.

SYNOPSIS

use HTML::WikiConverter;
my $wc = new HTML::WikiConverter( dialect => MediaWiki );
print $wc->html2wiki( $html );

This module contains rules for converting HTML into MediaWiki markup. See HTML::WikiConverter for additional usage details.

ATTRIBUTES

In addition to the regular set of attributes recognized by the HTML::WikiConverter constructor, this dialect also accepts the following attributes:

preserve_bold

Boolean indicating whether bold HTML elements should be preserved as HTML in the wiki output rather than being converted into MediaWiki markup.

By default, < b > and < strong > elements are converted to wiki markup identically. But sometimes you may wish tags in the HTML to be preserved in the resulting MediaWiki markup. This attribute allows this.

For example, if preserve_bold is enabled, HTML like

< ul >
< li > < b >Bold< /b >
< li > < strong >Strong< /strong >
< /ul >

will be converted to

* < b >Bold< /b >
* Strong

When disabled (the default), the preceding HTML markup would be converted into

* Bold
* Strong

preserve_italic

Boolean indicating whether italic HTML elements should be preserved as HTML in the wiki output rather than being converted into MediaWiki markup.

For example, if preserve_italic is enabled, HTML like

< ul >
< li > < i >Italic< /i >
< li > < em >Emphasized< /em >
< /ul >

will be converted to

* < i >Italic< /i >
* Emphasized

When disabled (the default), the preceding HTML markup would be converted into

* Italic
* Emphasized

preserve_templates

Boolean indicating whether {{template}} calls found in HTML should be preserved in the wiki markup. If disabled (the default), templates calls will be wrapped in < nowiki > tags.

preserve_nowiki

Boolean indicating whether tags found in HTML should be preserved in the wiki markup. If disabled (the default), nowiki tags will be replaced with their content.

pad_headings

Boolean indicating whether section headings should be padded with spaces (eg, "== Section ==" instead of "==Section=="). Default is to pad.
