wiki2xhtml can create complete Web pages and usesa clean XHTML syntax. It can insert galleries, amenu, a footer, and nearly all elements you knowfrom the Wikipedia. The pages are formatted withCSS. All designs can be adjusted by hand, andcustom ones can be used as well. wiki2xhtmlgenerates the HTML pages from simple text files inthe MediaWiki syntax. You can also use own (X)HTMLcode or other script languages inside; there areno restrictions. The GUI is composed of a CodePaste Window where you can insert wiki code thatwill be generated live. A click into the result,the XHTML code, copies it into the clipboard.License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)Changes:|
