TikiWiki to Haddock Converter
FileFlip converts TikiWiki to Haddock entirely inside your browser, using Pandoc compiled to WebAssembly. The file is never uploaded to a server: it is read off your disk, converted on your own machine, and saved back by the browser. That means no file-size limit, no queue and no account.
How do I convert a TikiWiki file to Haddock?#
- Drop your TikiWiki file onto the converter at the top of this page, or click it to pick one from your computer. You can add as many as you like.
- Leave the target set to Haddock and the conversion starts on its own. FileFlip downloads 65.8 MB of WebAssembly the first time and nothing after that, then runs Pandoc on your own machine.
- Save the Haddock file. Your browser writes it straight to your downloads folder, because there was never a server holding it.
Does converting TikiWiki to Haddock lose quality?#
Not in the sense of pixels or samples. Converting TikiWiki to Haddock rebuilds the file in Haddock's own model rather than re-encoding it, so everything Haddock can represent comes through exactly and anything it cannot has to be dropped. Expect the words to come through exactly and the page breaks to move.
Is it safe to convert TikiWiki files online?#
Yes, because nothing is uploaded. FileFlip converts TikiWiki files inside the browser tab you already have open, using WebAssembly builds of the same engines a desktop converter would install. Your file is read from your own disk into the page's memory, and no request carrying it is ever made.
You do not have to take that on trust. Open your browser's network panel, run a conversion, and you will see the engine come down and your file go nowhere. There is no upload, no server-side copy, no retention window, and no account tied to what you converted.
How FileFlip works lists every engine, its version and its download size, and shows how to check for yourself that nothing leaves your machine.
What TikiWiki to Haddock actually does to the file#
Converting TikiWiki to Haddock runs on Pandoc, downloads 65.8 MB of WebAssembly the first time and nothing after that, rebuilds the file in the target's own model, keeps selectable text and page layout.

| Downloaded to your browser | 65.8 MB, once, then cached by your browser |
| Quality | Rebuilt in the target's model |
| You get back | One file |
| Where it runs | In a background worker, so the page stays responsive |

| Selectable text | Kept | Carried through into the converted file. |
| Page layout | Kept | Carried through into the converted file. |
What is a TikiWiki file?#
A TikiWiki file holds a page written in the wiki markup of Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware, an open-source wiki and content-management platform that uses exclamation marks for headings and doubled punctuation for most inline formatting.
Keep a page as Tiki markup while it's edited and served from a Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware installation.
Convert Tiki markup to Markdown or HTML when its content needs to move to a platform that isn't Tiki.
What is a Haddock file?#
A Haddock file holds documentation written in Haddock markup, the comment syntax Haskell's own documentation generator reads out of source files to build a module's API reference.
Write Haddock markup directly in Haskell source comments so `cabal haddock` can generate the package's API documentation.
Convert Haddock markup to Markdown when the same text needs to appear in a README or a project website outside the generated API docs.
TikiWiki to Haddock questions people ask#
What is a .tikiwiki file?
A .tikiwiki file holds a page's worth of Tiki markup, the wiki syntax used by Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware. Tiki stores pages in a database rather than as loose files, so this extension appears when a page has been exported or converted rather than pulled straight from a Tiki install.
Is Tiki Wiki still maintained?
Yes. Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware is under active development by a community of contributors and translators, and the project ships a new major version roughly every eight months.
How is Tiki markup different from MediaWiki markup?
Tiki markup uses exclamation marks for headings and doubled punctuation, __bold__, ''italic'', for most formatting, where MediaWiki uses equals signs for headings and asterisks or apostrophes instead. The two syntaxes aren't interchangeable; a page written for one won't render correctly in the other.
What is a .haddock file?
A .haddock file holds text written in Haddock markup, the comment syntax Haskell's documentation generator reads. In practice this markup normally lives inside `-- |` and `-- ^` comments in a .hs source file rather than a standalone file, so a .haddock file usually appears when that text has been extracted or converted on its own.
