Ghostscript + QPDFHOW TO CONVERT MEDIAWIKI → TEXTILE
Provide the document
Select a MEDIAWIKI file. Very large documents (100+ pages) may take a few extra seconds to render completely.
Render to TEXTILE
LibreOffice plus supporting filters translate the MEDIAWIKI into a fully-formed TEXTILE with no structural drift.
Save the result
The converted TEXTILE streams back over HTTPS; open in the target application to verify formatting.
Setup: MEDIAWIKI is a document format oriented around a particular office suite or publishing pipeline. Goal: an interchangeable TEXTILE. Move a document from MEDIAWIKI into TEXTILE while keeping structure and formatting intact. TEXTILE is usually the better target when you need to email, sign, archive or hand the file to a tool that does not natively parse MEDIAWIKI. Conversion happens server-side in seconds and both files delete automatically. Background. MEDIAWIKI is a document format oriented around a particular office suite or publishing pipeline. Destination side, TEXTILE is a document format oriented around a particular office suite or publishing pipeline.
Why convert MEDIAWIKI to TEXTILE
The driver for a MEDIAWIKI to TEXTILE conversion is almost always the downstream audience: the editor, archivist, signer or reader who expects a TEXTILE. Doing the conversion in a proper rendering pipeline, rather than hoping the receiving tool will figure it out, avoids layout drift and font substitutions.

MEDIAWIKI vs TEXTILE — Strengths and limitations
What each format does best, and where it falls short.
MEDIAWIKI Strengths
- Powers Wikipedia — battle-tested at planet scale.
- Templates enable reusable content blocks.
- Internal links, categories, and interwiki references work out of the box.
- Huge existing tooling and translation ecosystem.
Limitations
- Parsing is notoriously hard — context-sensitive by design.
- Authoring requires learning the unique syntax.
- Lacks standardization — no formal spec, just the MediaWiki implementation.
TEXTILE Strengths
- More expressive than Markdown in classical usage (tables, footnotes, classes).
- Mature implementation in RedCloth (Ruby), php-textile, js-textile.
- Core format of Redmine — millions of daily users.
- Clean human-readable syntax.
Limitations
- Market share decimated by Markdown since the mid-2000s.
- Not as widely supported outside the Ruby/Rails ecosystem.
- No CommonMark-style spec — implementations differ on edge cases.
Quality & Compatibility
The conversion preserves document structure rather than pixel-perfect rendering: a paragraph in MEDIAWIKI is a paragraph in TEXTILE, not a bitmap snapshot. That means you can still edit and search the TEXTILE. If you need exact visual fidelity (for legal or print workflows), export to PDF as the final step.
Tips for Best Results
- Run a spell-check in the TEXTILE after conversion — occasionally hyphenation or language tagging shifts and typos become invisible to the original checker.
- Include fallback generic fonts (sans-serif, serif) in your style definitions so the TEXTILE degrades gracefully when a font is missing on a viewer device.
- For archive-quality output, export to PDF/A after converting to TEXTILE; this locks the document against future rendering drift.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, as long as the fonts are standard (system fonts or common office fonts like Arial, Calibri, Times, Helvetica). Custom corporate fonts survive if they are embedded in the source document; otherwise the conversion substitutes the closest available match, which can shift line breaks by a character or two.
Yes. Inline images are embedded into the TEXTILE at full resolution, editable tables become native TEXTILE tables, and hyperlinks keep their URLs. Complex features unique to MEDIAWIKI — macros, form fields, track-changes — are mapped where an equivalent exists in TEXTILE and flattened into static content otherwise.
All uploads go over TLS, files are processed in isolated containers and both the source and the output are deleted within two hours. No account is required, file contents are never indexed or used for training, and the paid plan adds a signable data-processing agreement for regulated workflows.
MediaWiki Markup
Source formatMediaWiki markup is the wikitext syntax used by Wikipedia and thousands of MediaWiki-powered wikis. It provides formatting for links, tables, templates, categories, and references, powering one of the largest collaborative content systems.
Textile Markup
Target formatTextile is a lightweight markup language that generates HTML from a human-readable syntax. It was popularized by the Textpattern CMS and the Redmine project management tool, offering a cleaner writing experience than raw HTML.
