Converting Google Docs to Dokuwiki Markdown Format

Software

You will want to install install_panadoc which is open source software that will help translate from Google Docs to Dokuwiki

Steps

1. Download Google Doc as a .docx Word Document. File > Download > Microsoft Word

2. Open Command Prompt and locate location of downloaded folder

3. Run pandoc to convert the document

pandoc "Downloads/Prusa MK2s 3D Printer Tool Tutorial.docx" -f docx -t dokuwiki -o "Downloads/prusa.txt"

4. Next you will probably want to open the file in a text editor that has search and replace functionality. I've found that bulleted lists don't covert over cleanly and are rendered with html instead. you can use a search and replace text editor to quickly clean that up.

Replace:

<HTML><p></HTML> with nothing
<HTML></p></HTML> with nothing
<HTML></li></HTML> with nothing
<HTML><ul></HTML> with nothing
- <HTML><li></HTML>> following ul with “ * ” (two spaces before asterisk and one after)
<HTML><ol></HTML> with nothing
- <HTML><li></HTML>> following ol with “ - ” (two spaces before hyphen and one after)

5. Create new dokuwiki page by entering a url that does not exists and click create

6. In the Google doc for each image do the following:

Right Click, Choose View More Actions, then Save to Keep.
Download from the keep pane that opens on the right.
Rename so that the file has similar naming to the wiki page
use the Media Manager under the search box in dokuwiki to upload the images.
link them back in the doc where they belong

6. paste in updated text, preview and clean up.
