"Much more" is a drastic understatement. Pandoc is awesome. The only "convert X.txt to Y.txt" task that pandoc can not handle is X=wikipedia

- nknight 15y agoI noticed that a few years ago and found it surprising but figured it would show up soon. Is there a technical reason it hasn't, or just lack of sufficient motivation an anyone's part?
- dfc 15y agoApparently wikipedia's format is a pain to parse. I think jgm posts here as fiddlosopher he is the best source for the gory details... But there is definitely sufficient motivation just google "convert wikipedia to" for some examples. I think that the arcane syntax is a big lockin factor with large wikipedia based sites... There is a ticket for it: https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/388 https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/388
