dovecot - Mar 2007 - wiki -> txt

I've been trying to fix MoinMoin's text_plain formatter to produce
readable output. It's almost correct, except I don't understand why I
can't get the LF-adding rules correct. Either there are too many LFs or
too few. And whenever I change something, something else breaks.. It's
getting pretty annoying.

So if anyone else wants to try getting it fixed that'd be great. :)
Attached the current version that I have.

For testing you'll need your own MoinMoin installation. Then replace the
included text_plain.py with the attached version. Then test it with for
example:

http://localhost/wiki/SomePage?action=format;mimetype=text/plain

Well, rewriting the line handling rules fixed it. If someone wants to
look at the new version, it's at http://dovecot.org/tmp/text_plain.py

I think the output is pretty good now. You can get the whole wiki
as .txt from http://dovecot.org/tmp/wiki-export.tar.gz

Comments? Do you find any bugs? There used to be for example missing
spaces, but those should be fixed now.

Each file begins with page name and a fixed number of '=' characters.
Looks like that can't be changed with text_plain.py. I'll anyway change
that to something better later.

I thought I'd change the Foo/Bar wiki links to Foo.Bar. That way there
can exist both "Foo" and "Foo.Bar", which wouldn't be
possible with '/'
separator. The filenames would also be changed.

I'm not sure if the files should end with .txt or not. And if they do,
should the .txt be added to wiki links?

I think the wiki pages should go to doc/wiki/ directory. Otherwise the
example configuration files get lost within all the files.

The example configs currently link to web wiki pages. Should those be
changed to doc/wiki/PageName.txt? Probably not, because the web pages
might have newer information.
