Map2wiki

While the wiki-markup language is fairly straightforward, people comfortable with map editing may prefer to generate and maintain their content in maps and then export to a wiki periodically. map2wiki is a attempt to enable this.

=Features=
 * The maintopic text is used as the title of the page
 * The macro recursively iterates down through the maintopics and their subtopics sections and subsections.
 * External hyperlinks are added
 * Internal hyperlinks as assumed to be linked to other wiki pages.&#160;
 * Topic notes are added under each section.
 * Export a set of linked maps separately and have them link up similarly in wiki? (need to test and debug but may work).

=Suggestions= There are a number of features that could be added to this to leverage map markup (e.g. relationships).&#160;&#160; One issue to consider is whether to enable an option to break the outline into bulleted or numbered lists rather than sections.&#160;

If you have ideas or suggestions, please add them to the ActivityOwner blog entry associated with this program.&#160;&#160; Utilizing the wiki for discussion and comment is a bit too complex for wiki novices. MindReader and Mark Task Complete have benefited from the collaborative open source development by ActivityOwner.Com readers and I assume this might grow that way as well.

=Source Code= map2wiki.mmbas is available in the macro library.

As an experiment, a development version of map2wiki-dev.mmbas will be kept on the wiki for collaborative editing.&#160;&#160; Do not use this version unless you understand the source code inside out as it will be even less tested that the library version and potentially have undesirable or unintended consequences.

 * Process notes as html rather than plain text to enable hyperlink conversion.
 * Remove/convert html portions using new note2wiki function
 * Will work for only simple link markup.&#160; May need to fall back to plain text for notes that have rich formatting.
