Talk:Word to wiki converter

Looks good. If folks can use MS Word to create pages and content, that should make things a whole lot easier. The wiki can be intimidating, but most folks are comfortable with MS Word.
 * Lady Geek: I changed the coding in the converter to match Wikimedia recommendations (which we have been following in our section formatting):

== Section headings ==

Headings organize your writing into sections. The Wiki software can automatically generate a table of contents from them.

=== Subsection === Using more "equals" (=) signs creates a subsection.

==== A smaller subsection ====

Don't skip levels, like from two to four equals signs.

Start with 2 equals signs not 1 because 1 creates H1 tags which should be reserved for page title. --Blbarnitz 08:34, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

What you see is an output of an MS Word file post-conversion.

I didn't know that you should start with 2 equals signs. Found that in the cheatsheet. Will double check that the MS Word macro follows this convention (that's where it came from). Also, to try Open Office export (Linux - Ubuntu 9.10). I'm debugging a macro that will handle tables that spans multiple columns. This version does not span columns.--LadyGeek 21:54, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
