HTML::WikiConverter::MediaWiki (3pm)

  use HTML::WikiConverter;
  my $wc = new HTML::WikiConverter( dialect => 'MediaWiki' );
  print $wc->html2wiki( $html );

This module contains rules for converting \s-1HTML\s0 into MediaWiki markup. See HTML::WikiConverter for additional usage details.

In addition to the regular set of attributes recognized by the HTML::WikiConverter constructor, this dialect also accepts the following attributes:

preserve_bold

Boolean indicating whether bold \s-1HTML\s0 elements should be preserved as \s-1HTML\s0 in the wiki output rather than being converted into MediaWiki markup.

By default, <b> and <strong> elements are converted to wiki markup identically. But sometimes you may wish <b> tags in the \s-1HTML\s0 to be preserved in the resulting MediaWiki markup. This attribute allows this.

For example, if \*(C`preserve_bold\*(C' is enabled, \s-1HTML\s0 like

<ul> <li> <b>Bold</b> <li> <strong>Strong</strong> </ul>

will be converted to

* <b>Bold</b> * '''Strong'''

When disabled (the default), the preceding \s-1HTML\s0 markup would be converted into

* '''Bold''' * '''Strong'''

preserve_italic

Boolean indicating whether italic \s-1HTML\s0 elements should be preserved as \s-1HTML\s0 in the wiki output rather than being converted into MediaWiki markup.

For example, if \*(C`preserve_italic\*(C' is enabled, \s-1HTML\s0 like

<ul> <li> <i>Italic</i> <li> <em>Emphasized</em> </ul>

will be converted to

* <i>Italic</i> * ''Emphasized''

When disabled (the default), the preceding \s-1HTML\s0 markup would be converted into

* ''Italic'' * ''Emphasized''

preserve_templates

Boolean indicating whether \*(C`{{template}}\*(C' calls found in \s-1HTML\s0 should be preserved in the wiki markup. If disabled (the default), templates calls will be wrapped in \*(C`<nowiki>\*(C' tags.

preserve_nowiki

Boolean indicating whether \*(C`<nowiki>\*(C' tags found in \s-1HTML\s0 should be preserved in the wiki markup. If disabled (the default), nowiki tags will be replaced with their content.

pad_headings

Boolean indicating whether section headings should be padded with spaces (eg, \*(L"== Section ==\*(R" instead of \*(L"==Section==\*(R"). Default is false (ie, not to pad).
