One interesting feature of OpenOffice.org 2.3 is its Export to MediaWiki functionality. Its simply, a File -> Export, give it a filename, and select MediaWiki. Automatically, you have a .txt file, that you can paste directly into MediaWiki. There, an offline editor for MediaWiki! <\/p>\n
Sadly, this isn’t as well integrated as I’d like. You can’t actually edit an existing MediaWiki document in OpenOffice.org. And it has some limitations, so I suggest taking a read of the Odt2Wiki<\/a> page (also, the Features<\/a> page). Like adding images manually, is a bit of a quirk. <\/p>\n However, as someone that writes a lot in a Wiki, I’m pleased to say that I can now do this easily in OOo Writer, and will only have to resort to the built-in Wiki editor, when actually, editing<\/i> content. Well, here’s to open standards and XSLT transformations.<\/p>\n In a related matter, of editing Wikis, its good to know that Firefox 2 has built-in spell-checking in text area fields, so there’s now no reason to have badly spelt Wiki documents.<\/p>\n Technorati Tags: openoffice.org<\/a>, mediawiki<\/a>, odt2wiki<\/a>, xslt<\/a>, firefox<\/a>, spell checking<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One interesting feature of OpenOffice.org 2.3 is its Export to MediaWiki functionality.
