NAME

moin2rst -- convert a MoinMoin Wiki page to reStructuredText syntax

SYNOPSIS

Use MoinMoin action RenderAsRestructuredtext

moin2rst.py [<option>]... page

DESCRIPTION

moin2rst contains a MoinMoin formatter plugin which formats a MoinMoin Wiki page as reStructuredText.

It is accompanied by a MoinMoin action plugin to use it inside a MoinMoin Wiki and by a script to be used from the command line.

Action RenderAsRestructuredtext

If the action plugin is installed each page should come with an additional action RenderAsRestructuredtext in the list of possible actions. Using this action renders the page as text/x-rst and returns it to the browser where it can be saved for further use.

See INSTALLATION for instructions for installing the action plugin.

Command line interface

The command line interface is implemented by moin2rst.py and can be used together with an existing Wiki installation.

See OPTIONS for the options of the script.

OPTIONS

General options

-d dir, --directory=dir Directory where the configuration file

of the wiki lives; defaults to '..'.

-r rev, --revision=rev Revision of the page to fetch (1-based),

defaults to current revision.

-u template, --url-template=template If the wiki given by

-d/--directory is part of a wiki farm then this gives a template to generate an URL from. The URL must be matched by one of the regular expressions found in wikis in the respective farmconfig.py. May contain at most one %. The % is replaced by page to form a valid URL. If % is omitted it is assumed at the end. Defaults to the empty string.

Arguments

page

The page named page is used as input. Output is to stdout.

Action plugin

Simply put RenderAsRestructuredtext.py to MoinMoin's plugin/action directory.
