Wiki to DocBook XML

There is currently good amount of interest in the DocBook community to design a tool that can do a wiki to DocBook conversion. There are some tools that are already available that targets a specific wiki format and support all or most of the wiki syntax. However, I could not find a tool that can handle complex conversion cases like section-dangler handling, support for multiple semantic outputs, loosely coupled with the Wiki engine (non-wiki plug-in) etc.

So I got a rough edged tool that could do simple to complex conversions of Wiki files to DocBook XML V5. I have added support for both Confluence and JSPWiki markups.

Check out the converter.

Conversion of the wiki content to a more structured format like the DocBook XMLs sure excites many technical authors who want to keep the Wiki as the preferred authoring medium.
