In the call to org-export-define-derived-backend the menu entry uses ?m which conflicts with the built-in ox-md (markdown exporter, added in org-mode 8.0.1).

If both ox-md and ox-mediawiki backends are enabled, ox-mediawiki clobbers the C-c C-e m binding.

Perhaps you can use ?M?

I am using an org-mode underscore markup element as in e.g. _word_. AFAICS, Mediawiki does not have its own markup for that, but uses HTML tags.

Are org-mode _underlines_ supposed to work? If not, feature is obviously low priority, but will leave open for comments. Close anytime.

Great tool! Just what I was looking for. However, I do need footnotes to work. I see that it looks like this is work that has not been done yet:

         (footnote-definition . ignore)
         (footnote-reference . ignore)

Is this work planned at all? I know a bit of lisp and would not mind trying my hand at adding this functionality as I have free time, which is not a lot. Have you done any research here, any pointers, gotchas or stuff like that?

Thanks again.

I didn't see a mechanism to create xwiki style links, but figured other folks might find themselves looking for them as I was. This advice will make the export output xwiki links.

(defun xwiki-link-syntax (orig-fun &rest args)
  "Turns [link text] into [[text>>link]] to satisfy xwiki link formatting"
  (let ((res (apply orig-fun args)))
    (save-match-data
      (if (string-match "\\[\\(.*\\) \\(.*\\)\\]" res)
          (let ((link (match-string 1 res))
                (text (match-string 2 res)))
            (format "[[%s>>%s]]" text link))
        res))))

(advice-add 'org-mw-link :around #'xwiki-link-syntax)

I'm trying to use org-mode to export org documents to mediawiki for the gentoo wiki. It uses "templates" for various code blocks, for example

{{Cmd|echo "a command"}}
{{RootCmd|echo "a root command"}}

This ends up looking like this.

My question is: Can I already achieve this using orgmode-mediawiki? Or is extending it to add support for these templates required. If it does require extending, how should I go about doing it? I'm an org noob, so this may be not possible, but I was thinking something like this:

#+begin_src bash :template "Cmd"
echo "this is a command"
#+end_src

Output:

{{Cmd|echo "This is a command"}}

Is this possible? Any pointers or tips?

Org:

- a :: b
- c :: d

MediaWiki output:

* b

* d

Is subtree export supposed to work? I get the following error on a very simple subtree:

Initializing asynchronous export process
save-current-buffer: Wrong type argument: stringp, (lambda (p status) (let ((proc-buffer (process-buffer p))) (when (eq (process-status p) (quote exit)) (unwind-protect (if (zerop (process-exit-status p)) (unwind-protect (let ((results (with-current-buffer proc-buffer ... ... ...))) (funcall (lambda (output) (with-current-buffer ... ... ... ... ... ... ...)) results)) (unless org-export-async-debug (and (get-buffer proc-buffer) (kill-buffer proc-buffer)))) (org-export-add-to-stack proc-buffer nil p) (ding) (message "Process '%s' exited abnormally" p)) (unless org-export-async-debug (delete-file "/var/folders/03/g441ctw52xjgcv3mhhw3053h0000gn/T/org-export-process2711hlu"))))))
Process 'org-export-process' exited abnormally

if subtree export is supposed to work, please give me a hint on where to look next.

As referenced in #9, list items currently export with new lines in between them which makes each list a new list rather than all part of a single list.

I'm not sure how to fix that just yet. Do you have an idea?

I will say that ox-md does export them in one list block.

Just to let you know, i'm in the process of proposing the recipe of orgmode-mediawiki.
https://github.com/ardumont/melpa/blob/add-recipe-ox-mediawiki/recipes/ox-mediawiki

Melpa is just another simpler way of packaging (the maintainer has little to do but follow the package conventions).

This is related to #8.

Also, there is already a recipe for el-get https://github.com/dimitri/el-get/blob/master/recipes/orgmode-mediawiki.rcp

exporting to text and html work fine

An org file containing the following:

=test=

or

~test~

Causes org-mw-export-to-mediawiki and org-mw-export-as-mediawiki to fail with the message org-mw-verbatim: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil.

Hi,

I've just installed this package from MELPA. I am trying to export a simple Org file. This is its content:

#+STARTUP: showall
#+TITLE: prova media wiki

* prova
** ciao

Whether I pick "To temporary buffer" (M) or "To file" (m), I always get this error: http://pastebin.com/kTbkUpd8

I use this mode and its good - so why is it not part of org-mode or in the marmelade repo?

I really like the idea of your function and it could be really useful for me to export directly from org to wiki, but I cant seem to get it working. I am able to run the two functions:

`org-mw-export-as-mediawiki' but get the error:
org-export-execute-babel-code: Symbol's function definition is void: org-babel-exp-process-buffer

`org-mw-export-to-mediawiki' and get the error:
org-export-output-file-name: Symbol's function definition is void: org-file-equal-p

Do you know what might cause this problem? Any help is much appreciated.
