I thought I would test using http://diberri.dyndns.org/wikipedia/html2wiki with an old paper - as you can see, the results are BAD, BAD. [[User:Stephen Ewen|Stephen Ewen]] 13:41, 29 December 2007 (CST)
I took an old paper and ran four tests on it with available converting tools:


# Test One: [[CZ_Talk:Wiki-converting/Test One|http://diberri.dyndns.org/wikipedia/html2wiki after saving to HTML from MS Word]].
# Test Two: [[CZ_Talk:Wiki-converting/Test Two|http://diberri.dyndns.org/wikipedia/html2wiki after saving to HTML from OpenOffice]].
# Test Three: [[CZ_Talk:Wiki-converting/Test Three|Using Wiki2Text export from OpenOffice]].
# Test Four: [[CZ_Talk:Wiki-converting/Test Four|Using Odt2Wiki export from OpenOffice]].


----
As things turn out, results go from worst to best.  Odt2Wiki with OOo provides the best result. 


<div class="Section1">
Odt2Wiki is available at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Odt2Wiki and OpenOffice is available at http://www.openoffice.org - both are free.

<span style="mso-bookmark: F000TJS04Q9XMMartonFVmes1999A1"><font color="#272600">This paper discusses three main theories in the field of adult education, cognitivism/ constructivism, phenomenography, and what is broadly called “the socio-cultural perspective.” Firstly, I summarize these three theories.Secondly, I compare and contrast them, while offering preliminary critiques of them.Finally, I will line key aspects of the three theories to my prior learning in anthropology, since many anthropological theories have profound correlates to the three theories of this study.</font></span>

<span style="mso-bookmark: F000TJS04Q9XMMartonFVmes1999A1"><font color="#272600">Later, Claude Levi-Strauss, discussed some earlier, took up the anthropological vogue of his time to discover Universals among disparate human societies.Levi-Strauss’s studies looked principally at mythologies, taboos, and kinship, but ultimately these foci led him to focus on language, particularly description and naming.Through his focal points, he sought ultimately to find certain ''minimal units of meaning'', intimately connected to ''learning'', within the cultures he studied.He theorized that meaning units had relations to, and could only be understood by reference to, what he called “binary opposites”—things that were in contrastive opposition to their counterparts.For Levi-Strauss, to understand the Universal acquisition processes of epistemic agents, one must uncover the units of meaning contained in binary opposites.To Levi-Strauss, humans categorized the world the way they do because the human mind is ''hard-wired ''to do so; hence, category descriptions are Universal.Levi-Strauss thought these categories could be “scientificized.”His intellectual project was to show how all humans were the same in these certain regards.In the end, Levi-Strauss was studying his own form of scheme theory that is not unlike congnitivists/constructivist’s notion of it. As a point of departure from all three theories, Levi-Strauss viewed cultures and languages as isolated and unchanging, which is incompatible with all three learning theories herein discussed. Still, given the variable of change in history, one may still find his theory, which lends support chiefly to cognitivism/constructionism, but also on what should already be evident points on phenomenography, e.g., reporting a collective mind, useful.</font></span>

Latest revision as of 13:40, 26 February 2010

I took an old paper and ran four tests on it with available converting tools:

  1. Test One: http://diberri.dyndns.org/wikipedia/html2wiki after saving to HTML from MS Word.
  2. Test Two: http://diberri.dyndns.org/wikipedia/html2wiki after saving to HTML from OpenOffice.
  3. Test Three: Using Wiki2Text export from OpenOffice.
  4. Test Four: Using Odt2Wiki export from OpenOffice.

As things turn out, results go from worst to best. Odt2Wiki with OOo provides the best result.

Odt2Wiki is available at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Odt2Wiki and OpenOffice is available at http://www.openoffice.org - both are free.

I tried making a table in OpenOffice Writer and saving it in MediaWiki markup. It worked well, requiring only a few tweaks. --Anthony.Sebastian 11:30, 20 February 2008 (CST)

Daniel Mietchen has also submitted the following tool that may be useful for converters: http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Wikificator.js . Louise Valmoria 13:59, 29 February 2008 (CST)
