I've been slowly posting an old genealogy book on a Dokuwiki site.
The process involves scanning a page, running it through OCR, saving
the results as a text file, then hand-editing it to add back in the
necessary italics and bold formatting.
What I'd like to do is automate this conversion as much as possible.
Has anyone written a utility to convert simple RTF into Dokuwiki
format? (RTF seems the most promising format here - but if there are
other converters available, I'm all ears).
Not that I am aware of. But if your RTF is reasonable simple enough, you
will probably find a RTF to HTML converter which will produce simple
enough HTML to run it through a HTML to DokuWiki converter. Another
Method would be to open your RTF in OpenOffice or MS Word and use the
available conversion Macros.
Thanks for the heads up on the conversion macro. It seems to be the
magic bullet I was looking for. Specifially, this article was very
helpful (although it needs some updating for OpenOffice version 2):

I now have a three-step procedure which gets the job done without too
much trouble:
1) Use my OCR software to scan the page and send it to OpenOffice
2) Run the DokuWiki conversion macro
3) Paste into DokuWiki and edit as needed
