Today I wrote a longish paper in Textile before I recalled that I was going to have to post this to a Twiki. Dang. I can’t stand Twiki syntax. Anyhow, I was able to use the following “Find & Replace” commands in Textmate to convert Textile to Twiki syntax.
Links:
| Find (regular expression): |
"([^"]*)":([^\s]*) |
| Replace: |
[[$2 $1]] |
Headings
| Find (regular expression): |
^h1. |
| Replace: |
---+ |
| Find (regular expression): |
^h2. |
| Replace: |
---++ |
Lists
| Find (regular expression): |
^\*\* |
| Replace: |
* (six spaces, then *) |
| Find (regular expression): |
^\* |
| Replace: |
* (three spaces, then *) |
These replacements took care of 95% of the conversion, changing the blockquotes was easier done by hand than by trying to cook up a regexp for the two cases, as was putting in the <nop> by hand so OpenPGP wasn’t interpreted as a page link. Hurrah for Textmate!
