How can I convert HTML to Textile?

Question

I\'m scraping a static html site and moving the content into a database-backed CMS. I\'d like to use Textile in the CMS.

Is there a tool out there that converts HTML

Answer 1

This is a simple markup replacement, nothing a good regex could not fix.

I recommend Perl, LWP::Simple and some regexes to do the whole thing (spidering, stripping design and menus, converting to textile, and then posting to the database.)
