wiki2spec

Purpose

Wiki2spec is an XSLT 2.0 stylesheet to generate W3C drafts out of mediawiki content.

Setup

• Make sure that your mediawiki content (sample) is valid XHTML.
• Setup the XHTML wiki2spec-parameters.html file (example). It provides information for wiki2spec as a list of div elements with id attributes:
  • <div id="doctype">...</div>: the type of draft. Possible values: WD, CR, PR, REC.
  • <div id="title">...</div>: the title of the draft.
  • <div id="pubtype-plus-date">...</div>: the type of the draft and publication date, e.g. W3C Working Draft 23 May 2012
  • <div id="version-plus-authors">...</div>: Information about the version of the document and the authors list. Be careful to use the same kind of markup as in the sample document.
  • <div id="abstract">...</div>: the abstract.
  • <div id="status">...</div>: the status section. Use the sample document as a template for your own status section.

Usage

Transform the mediawiki content to W3C spec style via the W3C XSLT servlet. It can be called by the form below:

A sample transformation is available.

Requirements for Mediawiki Content

• Make sure that after transformation all images are in the same file like the output file. wiki2spec assumes that and deletes all mediawiki specific paths to images.
• Do not use advanced styling that relies on mediawiki class attributes. The mediawiki stylesheets are not used by wiki2spec, since they don't fit to the spec layout.
• wiki2spec assumes that your content consists just of headings with content and subheadings. Do not put relevant content before the first heading - wiki2sepc won't recognize it.

Version and Feedback

Version 0.1, May 2012. Very raw, only tested with one mediawiki input file.
