HTML SOURCE text box - you could paste in all HTML code you want to convert here; or use the next option, Fetch HTML from URL 2. Fetch HTML from URL - or, you could enter a URL of a page you want to convert. 3. Base URL for relative links - enter the base URL that will be added to the beginning of all links that are only relative. For example, if the HTML looks like this <a href="filename.htm rel="nofollow">download</a>, enter an http://www.domainname.com/ URL to be put in front so the converter makes the Wikitext [http://www.domainname.com/filename.htm download] 4. URL for WIKI links - used to determine which links are to wiki pages, so for example if you were for some reason converting HTML from a wiki to wikitext, you'd enter the URL of the wiki you were taking the content from, I believe. Read the wiki_uri description here: http://search.cpan.org/~diberri/HTML-WikiConverter/lib/HTML/WikiConverter.pm for more information. 5. Wiki Dialect - choose which type of wikitext you want to convert to (wow, there are a lot of wiki engines to choose from there.) Each wiki engine has a slightly different wikitext syntax. Hope this helps! Hi Todd – I can give it a try:

They've come out well as on the wiki page. I need to know what exactly the following names meany by, for me to do the same: 1. HTML SOURCE text box 2. Fetch HTML from URL 3. Base URL for relative links 4. URL for WIKI links 5. Wiki Dialect I'm trying to convert, but I end up getting errors. Please add your expertise. Hi Rick-

It’s good to see you’ve converted those long FM files to wiki. They’ve come out well as on the wiki page.

I need to know what exactly the following names meany by, for me to do the same:

1. HTML SOURCE text box
2. Fetch HTML from URL
3. Base URL for relative links
4. URL for WIKI links
5. Wiki Dialect

I’m trying to convert, but I end up getting errors. Please add your expertise.

I'm glad that it does tables, though. And there seem to be a lot of wiki engines that it'll do wikitext markup for. Thanks for the tip!
