Wiki the Vista Monograph

I started with the .doc file of the VistA Monograph

  • opened it with Open Office
  • saved it as html
  • cleaned it up with Dave Raggett's HTML Tidy
  • converted it to MediaWiki using HTML::WikiConverter.
  • manual editing to clean out a lot of junk html.
    • br
    • font
    • div
    • span
    • funny characters
  • Need to redo it with a sed script.
  • script to remove excess blank lines.

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