Hi Frank
happy to see you work. I myself did some search without finding that
much (and had never - or at least yet - have time to build something
myself), so I will surely have a look.
As for the business case ... yes - albeit I don't know how much strong.
Anyway the story is more or less like this:
- use a wiki to prepare a book (or technical doc or ...); ideally you
can use it to lay down main content, use the hypertext structure to keep
working notes (and possibly
also notes that should end up in final material) plus anything you need
for cooperative work
- at the end, be able to easily move relevant material to a structured
document (word/latex/docboook ... that's probably the easy part)
I feel the hard part would be to discriminate between 'real' structure
going from wiki to doc and 'support material'. I could expect a manually
crafted index page could
point to main content (each referenced page a chapter - or different
granularity) but how you can then specifify which links should end up in
final doc and which shouldn't?

Dear all,
I was searching the list for information on producing structured
content from the wiki pages. I couldn't find any.
I developed this small standalone tool to produce DocBook content from
the JSPWiki pages:
http://code.google.com/p/wits-parser/
Read Me is here:
http://code.google.com/p/wits-parser/wiki/ReadMe
I don't know if it will be of any use to people in this list. I would
like to know if you really have a strong business case for converting
wiki to structured documents.
Regards
