Convert HTML
to XWiki

Converting from HTML

HTML has a real badass name. Hypertext markup language. I mean, it starts with Hyper, right? HTML is the most important language for websites. The internet would be just text without it. HTML has the structure of the content, the hierarchy, the images and all the good stuff. And the bad stuff (e. g. tracking) too. Convert all your text files to HTML and slap them on a webserver to get a website. The most simple workflow to make a blog. Did you know that you can view the HTML of every website you visit? Just do a right-click and view the source. Feel like a hacker now? Congratulations. That’s how I fell in love with HTML and the web. Don’t wait no more, convert all your files to HTML, for free.

The files end with .html by default.

Converting to XWiki markup

Let’s start with the good parts: XWiki is a free and open source software platform. The idea behing XWiki is to build a software that’s easily extensible. It comes with a Wiki (surprise!), a search, a blog, a file manager, a calendar, forums and tasks. A real jack of all trades. The text markup language looks like the MediaWiki syntax, but a few extra features. You can even add CSS to parts of your document (not sure if that’s a good idea though), or even complex things like a filterable table. Unfortunately the XWiki platform is written in Java. You should probably have some experience with Java to extend it’s functionality. That’s definitely not for me.
