[Wiki] Converting Wiki posts to Markdown

[antz]

The following steps will produce the guts of a markdown version of a forum post

1) Select All the article text (via Edit if possible)

2) Paste this into a text editor

3) Perform the following search and replaces

Find Replace **

Find Replace **

Find Replace *

Find Replace *

Find [ code] Replace with 4 spaces (no space before code)

Find [ /code] Replace with nothing/blank (no space before /code)

Find Replace with [@@@COPY URL HERE AS WELL@@@](

Find Replace with )

After that you will need to manually replace @@@COPY URL HERE AS WELL@@@ with the url next to it

If there are any Titles that start and end with **, these need to be changed so that they start with ## and have the trailing ** removed

Hope this helps
