Further: - In addition to <<DateTime()>>, other <<Macros>> which had seen some use on MoinMoin were <<BR>> (which should be expressed in MediaWiki as <br/>) and <<Anchor()>> (which should be expressed in MediaWiki as <span id=“..."></span>). - Certain types of list syntax were not recognized/translated, specifically A. for alphabetically-labelled ordered lists, and 1.#0 for numbered lists starting with zero (or generally at integer N for 1.#N). - Nested tables, especially with “merged cells”, didn’t come in perfectly. I believe the only good/effective way to convert these will be manually. -Dan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
