Convert DokuWiki to Plain Text

Turn DokuWiki, the markup used by the DokuWiki wiki engine, into Plain Text, clean plain text with all markup stripped away. FileChanger runs the document conversion in one call, no local tooling to install.

In the browser

Upload a file and download the result, no pipeline required. Open the converter.

One API call

POST the file with from=dokuwiki and to=plain, get the converted bytes back. Jump to the code.

From an agent

FileChanger ships an MCP server, so agents can run this conversion themselves. See the docs for setup.

Convert DokuWiki to Plain Text in code

The same call from any language: POST the file to /api/convert, the response body is the converted file.

curl -X POST https://filechanger.io/api/convert \
  -H "X-Api-Key: fc_your_api_key_here" \
  -F "file=@input.dokuwiki" \
  -F "from=dokuwiki" \
  -F "to=plain" \
  -o output.txt

    )

About DokuWiki

DokuWiki markup is the syntax of the DokuWiki engine, a file-based wiki popular for team documentation and intranets because it needs no database. Teams migrating docs into or out of DokuWiki convert between its markup and more portable formats.

About Plain Text

Plain text is the universal fallback: every markup stripped away, leaving clean readable text. It is what you want for search indexing, text analytics, LLM ingestion, email bodies, and any pipeline where formatting is noise rather than signal.
