DolphinWiki to TWiki Text File Converter

This script converts DolphinWiki text files to the TWiki format. The script is for people who switch over from DolphinWiki to TWiki. It is intended to be used once to convert all existing text files into the TWiki format.

The following syntax rules are converted:

From: To:
%Topic% [[Topic]]
%Web:Topic% [[Web.Topic]]
[1] [<a href="#1">1</a>]
[1: http://...] <a name="1">[1]</a>: http://...

Note:

  • DolphinWiki does not track users, so all users are set to "guest" (e.g. to the $defaultUserName variable in TWiki.cfg).
  • The timestamp of the files are preserved; TWiki .txt and .txt,v files are created.

Usage

example% dolphin2twiki fromDir toDir

fromDir: Directory containing dolphin .txt files
toDir: Directory where converted .txt and .txt,v files are stored

Attention: toDir is assumed to be empty. Existing files will be overwritten!
