Wiki-ing the Vista Monograph: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 03:11, 16 February 2008

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

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

NEED to polish scripts and make them available here.
