HI;
I want to import some Wikipedia posts into VB. (Just a sticky post at the top of a forum category, i.e. Dog Breed info for Shih tzu). Maybe 50 articles. Wiki uses the Wikimedia markup language, so I can't copy and paste the raw code. I've tried changing the Wiki to print mode and copying the html source of that, but the formatting is a total mess once I put it into a VB post.
The only way I found to do it was to copy and paste in a plain text and re-do any mark-up I want. I just did one article and it took me a good half hour to get it looking good. I still didn't get nearly all the links in the article re-built such as to the references.
Is there any faster way to take the Wikipedia code or the Wiki html and get it into a VB post?
I do have html turned on for myself and it does phrase some of the HTML code when I past it in but there are large parts of the page that don't phrase and show raw code.
Thanks,
Jamie
