Convert Wiki to HTML

[Horst Lemminger]

I would like to convert the raw source of a local Wiki to HTML (static
files), preferably DokuWiki.

Unfortunately I have found very few (next to none) projects for Perl
that converts simple Wiki markup to HTML. I need the REVERSE of
HTML::WikiConverter

What are my choices here ?

Anyone have done that before ?

CPAN IYF. First hit on searching CPAN for WIKI is
Konstrukt:lugin::wiki:

DESCRIPTION

This plugin will render given wiki markup into an other format (e.g.
HTML).

Is this suitable?

If you do not want to integrate this with any tool or DocuWiki itself
- why not use LWP kind of modules to scrape/crawl the sites as html
pages. that will be quick solution and get all App into static html
page.

Well, looks like what I need, but I don't need a komplete web
framework. My conversion needs just to be a one-time thing, and should
ideally be run from command line.

Perhaps I just need to learn how to use Konstrukt.

Do anyone know how to include a file between the wiki tags (or expand
variables ?)

This could be my last resort, but since I would like to do the
following
* edit text in my own application (simple notepad-like edit window
- text format ideally Wiki
* files are saved as text files OR in a database backend
* now files can be compiled with a script to static HTML
* the static HTML is the "help window" for a Windows application

So I do not need a webserver for this project, unless I have to.

But as you say, I could be forced to have one.

The following is the only two lines I could find about running
Konstrukt directly.. but not much of an example.. Should be able to do
variables instead of files.. ?
===
my $filehandler = Konstrukt::Handler::File->new($root, $filename);
$filehandler->handler();

Maybe Markdown (http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) does what
you want. It is something that needs no preparation, just download it an
run it. It has its own Wiki-style syntax, and it depends on your Wiki
whether the syntaxes are similar enough.
