Unless the HTML export converts the entry into wiki code it would be worthless. Here is Lady Geeks actual transfer:CyberBob wrote:Cool.

P.S. Do you think that going the HTML route rather than using wiki syntax may make the page more difficult for someone else to edit later? Or does the chance for increased wiki participation because of simplification vastly outweigh that concern?

Since most everyday forum members would simply be producing verbiage (not tables, graphs, charts, images, or anything fancy) they can simply copy the script they compose on any word processor and copy and paste their paragraph/s into the wiki.
