Porting old redmine wiki pages is rather cumbersome. I have manage to automate part of the process, but it is still necessary to do some manual editing after the instructions I show here.
What I did to port the sbndcode, icaruscode, and sbndaq was to download all the relevant html files.
In order to do that, you need to be an admin of the redmine project. Log in on your redmine account and at the bottom right there’s this note
Also available in: PDF HTML TXT
Click the HTML link to download the page.
Then convert that to markdown.
I did it with pandoc
pandoc -f html -t markdown -s Old_Redmine.html -o Ported.md
If there are several html files you can use:
find . -name "*.html" -type f -exec sh -c 'pandoc -f html -t markdown -s "$1" -o "${1%.*}.md"' find-sh {} \;
Add them to your git tree:
git add Ported.md
git commit -m "Adding Ported.md"
To remove junk:
git grep -lz --fixed-strings '{.wiki-anchor}' | xargs -0 sed -i '' -e 's/{.wiki-anchor}//g'
git grep -lz --fixed-strings '[¶]' | xargs -0 sed -i '' -e 's/[¶]//g'
git grep -lz --fixed-strings '[]' | xargs -0 sed -i '' -e 's/\[\]//g'
git grep -lz --extended-regex '(\{\#.*\})' | xargs -0 sed -i '' -e 's/{#.*}//g'
git grep -lz --extended-regex '(\(\#.*\))' | xargs -0 sed -i '' -e 's/(#.*)//g'
git grep -lz --fixed-strings '{.wiki-page}' | xargs -0 sed -i '' -e 's/{.wiki-page}//g'
git grep -lz --fixed-strings '{.external}' | xargs -0 sed -i '' -e 's/{.external}//g'
To make it jekyl compatible:
git grep -lz --extended-regex 'lang: en' | xargs -0 sed -i '' -e 's/lang: en/layout: page/g'
Commit the changes
git add Ported.md
git commit -m "Removing junk from Ported.md"
Proceed with manual editing.
Make sure to put the file on the right folder, and to link it from somewhere else.
