Any2MicronConverter

This program converts any text/markup document into the micron format, which can then be used by a reticlum page server/node.

At the moment only the DokuWiki format is supported. It is only a very rudimentary functionality, which will be further developed in the future. It is not guaranteed that all formatting will be converted properly.

Features

• Compatible with all Reticulum apps which can display micron pages.
• Compatible with the following source file formats:
  • DokuWiki
  • ...
• Relatively easy to extend to convert additional file formats

Current Status

It should currently be considered beta software and still work in progress.

All core features are implemented and functioning, but additions will probably occur as real-world use is explored.

There may be errors or the compatibility after an update is no longer guaranteed.

The full documentation is not yet available. Due to lack of time I can also not say when this will be further processed.
