I started with the MS Word version of the VistA Monograph, vista_monograph2005_06.doc

  • opened it with Open Office
  • saved it as html
  • cleaned it up with Dave Raggett's HTML Tidy
    • funny characters - went away when I got the UTF-8 stuff right in HTML Tidy.
  • converted it to MediaWiki using HTML::WikiConverter.
  • manual editing to clean out a lot of junk html. replaced w/ sed scripts. Trust your Browser! to get things right w/o all this junk.
    • br
    • font
    • div
    • span
  • script to remove excess blank lines.

It's no wonder it has glitches. I'm really surprised it came out as well as it did.
