Is it possible to convert Excel spreadsheets into MediaWiki markup? I stumpled upon strange recommendations exporting to HTML and convert it into markup. Is there a solution, maybe exporting to XML first or directly converting it?

I know of three options:

  1. Install a WYSIWYG editor extension like FCKeditor (see also Official). Advantage: fairly easy Paste As Word (and therefore also as Excel) button. Disadvantage: installation can be tricky.
  2. Use a macro in Excel. Advantage: a one-click creation of markup. Disadvantage: client-side solution (so need it for all users).

My preference is the FCKeditor option because once it is installed it works pretty well.
