# apertium-desmediawiki(1)

MediaWiki format processor for Apertium

## NAME

**apertium-desmediawiki** – MediaWiki format processor for Apertium

## SYNOPSIS

**apertium-desmediawiki** \[*input\_file* \[*output\_file*\]\]

## DESCRIPTION

**apertium-desmediawiki** is a processor for mediawiki XML dumps (i.e., those produced using Special:Export). Data should be passed through this processor before being piped to [lt-proc(1)](/lt-proc/1.md). The program takes input in the form of a text file and produces output suitable for processing with [lt-proc(1)](/lt-proc/1.md). Format information (newlines, tabs, etc.) is enclosed in brackets so that [lt-proc(1)](/lt-proc/1.md) treats it as whitespace between words.

```
