Formatting tips:

  • Use Ctrl+U (or whatever your browser's "view page source" option is) to get at the raw HTML.
  • Convert the HTML to wiki markup:
    • Option 1: Run it through an HTML-to-Mediawiki converter
    • Option 2: Use find/replace in a text editor to strip out all the <p> and </p> tags, and to replace <i> and </i> with double apostrophes. That should be about it, but run a search for < and > when you're done to make sure you haven't missed any HTML.
  • Remove any extra whitespace. There should be one blank line between paragraphs and no leading spaces at the beginning of a line. You can do this by hand, or use a text editor such as Notepad++ that can handle line breaks in its find/replace via the special characters \r\n.
  • All single line breaks will be ignored, which means weird line wrapping is perfectly okay, but also means there has to be a blank line between paragraphs or you'll get the dreaded Wall of Text. Well, more of one than Hugo already gave you.
