This is one of those long-time gotchas about wikis: that migrating from
one to another is potentially painful. However, this isn't really about
that.
What I'd really like to do is get a lot of content out of the MS Word
docs that we still end up having to attach, in order to facilitate
collaborative development on them. Even if we have to reconvert them to
suit other people's requirements, I think it would be well worth the
trouble to work on them in XWiki syntax.
Of course, Word can save as HTML, and HTML will work on an XWiki page,
but without the ease of editing offered by wiki syntax, the benefits
would be greatly reduced.
Has anyone thought (or done) anything about condensing reasonably
well-structured HTML into equivalent XWiki syntax?

Hi,
I don't have script for converting to wiki syntax, but you can use
Open Office to convert it in html. I think the html of OO is better
than the one of Word. You can after import it on the wiki with regex
to replace html tags.
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/OpenOffice+Integration
tell me if you try it, i'm very interested in.

If someone offers a prize for the understatement of the year, or even of the
century-to-date, I'll be sure to nominate you, Jérémi. I quickly gave up any hope of
using Word's HTML output after one look at it, which I have little doubt is exactly
what they wanted.
And, of course, thanks for the link. We don't yet have OO.o here, but this is yet
another reason to consider requesting permission from the corporate watchdogs to get it.
I do have OO.o 1.1 on MacOSX at home, but I'm told that 2.0 will be a long time coming
to the Mac...

I haven't played with the wysiwyg editor in recent xwiki versions,
but I know the editor it is based on, TinyMCE, allows one to
cutnpaste from a word doc, and it sanitizes the html. Maybe that on
top of the XWiki/TinyMCE integration will translate into xwiki syntax?

Yes, the translation from html to xwiki syntax is made by javascript.
