Script to convert HTML (WordPress) to Instructables format

instructables

We’ve been cross posting our original creations here and at Instructables. Instructables is an awesome site where anyone can demonstrate how to do anything.

This is a WordPress blog, it uses HTML layout formatting. Instructables uses a kind of wiki-like markup. We whipped up a converter that replaces HTML elements with the Instructables equivalent. There’s a lot of formatting (tables) that doesn’t have an equivalent, that stuff gets stripped out. This is totally browser & JavaScript based, just save the web page and it should run from your computer.

    Nice effort, but it doesn’t work. Instructables doesn’t recognize any of the markup.
