markdown_to_dokuwiki.py

Stop-Press - August 2014

Since Pandoc 1.13, Pandoc now contains my implementation of DokuWiki writing - and many more features are implementated there than in this script. So this script is now pretty-much redundant.

Python script to convert a Markdown file to Dokuwiki

This is based on my SuperUser answer to my question How to convert Markdown files to Dokuwiki, on a PC.

Since that answer, I've added some new features, and published my testsuite.

Pandoc needed!

Note that pandoc must be in the your path, for this to work.

I have tested it with the following versions of Pandoc:

• 1.9.1.2
• 1.9.3
• 1.10.1
• 1.11.1
• 1.12.4

Running the TestSuite

To test the code, run:

python markdown_to_dokuwiki_testsuite.py

This simply converts the sample file ''markdown_to_dokuwiki_test_input.md'' to Dokuwiki format, and tests that the output matches the contents of ''markdown_to_dokuwiki_test_expected.txt''

Successful output looks something like this:
