Does anybody know of any convertor, online or a plugin which converts HTML to wikitext? I found some but they were not for tiddlywiki wikitext.

That would be interesting.

You do know that you can use html as-is in tiddlers, right?

I think it would be a good idea but its kind of ironic since wiki text is rendered as html. The biggest issue is when the html contains onclick or java functions that we use widgets for.

I would think a browser plugin that can copy html as text then import or paste that, then you apply wiki text may be the first approach.

Keep in mind many html tags work as is in wiki text. And a parser that converts that eg <h1>heading</h1> to ! Should be easy.

Perhaps you can find a tool like copy html to markdown or another format that tiddlywiki can be set to recognise.

Thank you for this. Converting the text with this and then using Notepad++ to remove \r and \n brought me quite closer to the goal.
