DokuWiki to Typst Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
DokuWiki Markup and Typst Markup exist for different jobs: DokuWiki markup powers one of the most popular self-hosted wiki engines — plain-text syntax stored in files rather than a database, common on intranets and documentation servers. Convert Markdown/Word content into Typst to try the new typesetting toolchain, or bring Typst documents into Word/EPUB pipelines.
This converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — your files never leave your device, nothing is uploaded, and there are no watermarks, sign-ups or queues. Drop in several files at once to convert them as a batch.

About the DokuWiki format
DokuWiki is a file-based wiki engine that stores pages as plain-text markup instead of a database — the reason it dominates intranets, docs servers and anything that must survive without MySQL. Its syntax uses == headings ==, **bold**, and indented lists.
Migrating a DokuWiki means converting hundreds of pages out of its syntax. Pandoc reads the full grammar, so a namespace of pages becomes Markdown or Word documents in one pass.
+Strengths
- ✓File-based — no database to back up
- ✓Clean readable syntax
!Limitations
- −Plugins extend syntax non-portably
- −Small ecosystem outside DokuWiki itself
About the Typst format
Typst is the youngest serious typesetting system: LaTeX-grade output quality with markup as approachable as Markdown, and a compiler fast enough to run in a browser tab. Sets math with $x^2$ syntax, styles with small scripts, and has been adopted rapidly for theses, papers and documentation.
The ecosystem is young, so Typst files often need to leave for Word or EPUB pipelines — and Markdown content often needs to arrive. Conversion in both directions keeps Typst documents interoperable while the toolchain matures.
+Strengths
- ✓LaTeX-quality typesetting, Markdown-level syntax
- ✓Instant compilation with live preview
- ✓Modern scripting for styles and automation
!Limitations
- −Young ecosystem, fewer packages than LaTeX
- −Journals mostly still require LaTeX
- −Spec still evolving between releases
