From wiki to word

WIKI

A wiki refers to a web application that facilitates the collaborative creation, modification, and deletion of shared content between authorized users. First developed by Ward Cunningham in 1995 a the software wikiwikiweb, the term wiki is now more commonly associated with the free internet encyclopedia, Wikipedia. The purpose of creating a wiki is to help build and strengthen communities of discourse around a broad domain of knowledge or shared interests, allowing as many knowledgeable collaborators as possible to contribute to it as well as edit content.

DOCX

In an effort to create an open document standard, Microsoft in collaboration with ISO/IEC and Ecma, developed the Office Open XML standard in 2006. One of the filename extensions supported in this specification is the .docx extension, a text document filename extension. The .docx was introduced in Microsoft Office Word 2007 and has been supported ever since in later iterations. It has become the default filename extension for all text documents produced using Microsoft Office Word. Given the open source nature of the XML specification, more alternative document processing applications support read and write capabilities on documents saved with the .docx filename extension. This is in comparison to the .doc filename extension which is a proprietary asset owned by Microsoft.

STEP 1

Select the document file in the WIKI format to convert to the DOCX format, you can select a file from your computer or your Google Drive or Dropbox account.                            

STEP 2

I have a set of Wiki pages (MediaWiki style) on my company’s intranet that I would like to convert to Microsoft Office Word documents (or something that I can import in it). I am looking for something that has:

Requirements

• Keep the formatting as much as it can
• Does not require to change anything on the server that hosts the Wiki (no plugin can be added nor configuration files can be modified from my side)
• The solution can be programmatically (as I am a developer too), in flavor of Python/C#/C++ and the like

Exclusions

• Does not look like a solution as «Wiki to Acrobat PDF Pro to Microsof Office Word» (as we do not have Acrobat PDF Pro). Actually, even the non-Pro version (that allows a «Save as Microsoft Word online» option) is not available in my company (very old version of Adobe suite). However, I can still export the page as a pdf, but from the Wiki we have, it does not look good (because some element are too big, for an A4 format, and the extra parts are scraped out of the produced pdf. I would like them to be included anyway and be able to play with «bad» formatting within Word eventually
• As it is an intranet wiki, online solutions are out of the scope
• Solutions that implies I could copy the db of the Wiki and do the operation elsewhere (at home for example) are also out of the scope

Options

• The solution can be either on Windows or Linux-like (CentOS)
• If it can do it in batch, it is better, but not required

Question

Would you have any hint of a solution that could fit my needs?
