pajout has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Monks, I'v did some search on this SuperSearch and on the CPAN, but with no satisfying reason.

I would like to know your advice about Wiki - we have an MediaWiki in our company, a lot of pages into, and now we seek some tool for exporting it. We would like to export it into XML, keeping all formatting markups (and the relation between pages, of course). But, unfortunately, we did find nothing what parses the formated content in wiki.

The goal is to find some Wiki with tools, which allows us to use it's GUI smoothly to write documentation and, specially, to export as XML, keeping all formating and data structures. Perl API is prefered, of course...

Every advice appreciated :>)

      Yes, nice modules, but they seem that _content_ of the pages is still formatted using wiki syntax. I would like to find a module, which is able to parse that content into some perl structure, or, which is able to export the content into XML, keeping formatting informations, references, e.t.c. via some tags.

        Bahahahah. Good luck, and I mean that sincerely. The media wiki syntax is a horrifying php kludge.
