Please consider using the flexifilter module instead of this before beginning use. This module provides a filter which uses the PEAR Text_Wiki package for formatting. Thus it supports the following syntax: Mediawiki TikiWiki DokuWiki Creole BBCode See the readme.txt for installation instructions of... [More...]

Hello,
I transfered about 40 articles from Dokuwiki to Drupal 5.x with this filter.
To my opinon, it is a bad filter because it is unfinished work and works only partially.
1) doesn't work in conjunction with other filters like a basic HTML filter. Not possible to make a "input format" comprising both pearwiki filter and html filter. So it's not possible to fix even simple html links.
Installation is simple however.
2) Parsing is not completely functionnal
Image showing doesn't work
Internal links doesn't work and nor it is translated
{{image_filename.jpg|blabla}} No
[[in:documents:singlepage]] No
3) It is very rigid in the way it understand tags, more rigid than dokuwiki itself
=== textext === result ok
===testtest === No, doesn't work
4) the final LAYOUT is far from being nice.
The Headings level 1, 2 and 3 are more or less correct, but lack emphasis. No horizontal rule under headings of level 1.
Headings of further levels don't work.
Layout is bad. Unnumbered list don't display nicely.
Layout in Dokuwiki is much better, on at least three criteria.
5) Conclusion:
The filter is bad. What is does, it does it very partially. It does much less things than the original dokuwiki engine.
One should be able to create a dokuwiki filter !!! it is just a couple of parsing rules. And the complete rules are available at
http://www.dokuwiki.org/syntax
Apply regular expressions intelligently and a MUCH MORE RELIABLE filter could be made.
Look for a real code converter or put a plain Dokuwiki inside a FRAME of your Drupal site.
My conclusion:
CONTRIBUTORS: Please do a FULL WORK or shut up.
Great to be able to create a wiki on your Drupal site themed to your site instead of a completely different look that you'd get if you installed Mediawiki (or any other wiki) along side Drupal.
