Convert Trac Wiki to Markdown
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# Convert Trac DB Wiki pages to Markdown source files
# This script is based on http://github.com/seven1m/trac_wiki_to_github which
# converted all pages from a Trac DB to GitHub Wiki format (as Textile).
#

# - uses MarkDown format instead
# - uses the sqllite3-ruby gem which does not need Ruby 1.9
