pandoc-pmwiki-reader

Lua script to read PMWiki markup into pandoc

Try it out with:

pandoc -f pmwiki_reader.lua -t gfm --wrap=preserve testfile.pmwiki

• --wrap=preserve to avoid word wrap inside links
• gfm instead of markdown to get tables with pipes

Note that PMWiki stores other metadata in its data files besides the PMWiki markup, so you will need to preprocess them, for example like so:

cat wiki.d/Example.Page | grep -a "^text=" | sed "s/^text=//" | sed "s/%0a/\n/g" | sed "s/%25/%/g" | sed "s/%3c/</g" | pandoc -f pmwiki_reader.lua -o Example.Page.pdf

Issues

• Can't handle strong/emphasized text with links inside
• Several constructs unsupported: https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/MarkupMasterIndex
