====== Converting MS Word files to Dokuwiki format ======

Known problems:
  * Not language-safe: only works with cp1252 encoding.
  * [[WP>Antiword]] only supports Word formats up to 2003 (catdoc may be preferable).

====== Word -> text: antiword ======

See [[WP>antiword]].

# to dokuwiki format (including interlacing footnotes)
