Jean, all,

my short "jump in" here at this place:

Here the basic instructions AFAIR (which are standard instructions on 
using external Macro code in OOo): 
1) you just open the OOoBASIC Macro editor in writer application scope, 
2) past the Macro code, save it, and finally 
3) assign a shortcut key to accelerate the performance. 

When you then use WikiPublisher to obtain a .txt file with all the wiki 
markup, you have to open this file with OOo writer, just run the Macro 
by using the shortcut key, and save the file (as .txt) again or copy 
its contents and paste it into the wiki page editor. 

I put them on TJ's Macro code Page on 
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/User:TJFrazier/WikiBasic
hoping TJ will not be too angry with me ;)

I did not follow the complete discussion but maybe my (last year) 
experiences from wikifying the German WG2 could be of some help:

If i have a little more time, I'll expand the above in the following 
days (or somebody else could).
