Turns out the built in style "preformatted text" seems to do the trick. It would be a kindness to mention this in the online help (indeed, a list of the supported tags would be most helpful).

Click File -> Send -> To MediaWiki...
Click Add to add a new wiki
No matter what I enter for the [url] I get the error: "A connection to the MediaWiki system at [url] could not be created."
I have tried a localhost MediaWiki, a live MediaWiki on the internet, and Wikipedia.
There is no proxy being used.

Ubuntu Hardy Heron
OpenOffice.org 2.4

Is there some setting I'm missing for allowing OpenOffice to access the network? Feels like I must be missing something obvious.

I saw a number of comments about the plugin not working with LDAP authentication.
The mediawiki LdapAuthenticaion.php file needs a minor tweak to get it to work.

In the LocalSettings.php file find the statement that says something like
$wgLDAPEncryptionType = array( "ourwiki"=>"clear" );

write down the "ourwiki" (it will be different on your installation)

In LdapAuthentication.php, find the connect() function (Line 121 in my installation)
Underneath the global $wgLDAPEncryptionType; line write
$_SESSION['wsDomain']='ourwiki'; (again use the text you wrote down in the previous step.

Save the file and exit.

If your wiki uses multiple domains, then this won't work well for you, but it will work on most standard installations.

The problem is that the $_SESSION['wsDomain'] variable is set to "InvalidDomain" instead of "ourwiki" when it is trying to authenticate from the plugin.

Unfortunately it doesn't work at al. I was hoping this version (1.0) would work, but still it gives below message when I click OK after filling in the MediaWiki server URL.

A connection to the MediaWiki system at http://en.wikipedia.org could not be created

When I start OOo on the Linux command line (Kubuntu Hardy), I get this:
INFO: I/O exception (java.net.ConnectException) caught when processing request: Connection refused

My Java version is: build 1.6.0_06-b02

0.9.3 doesn't appear to work with the LDAP extension for Mediawiki authentication. Is there any way we could get a raw output command where it can just pipe the wikicode to a text file?

Thanks for the awesome plugin.

My web server lives on port 85, not 80 (because IIS lives on there). When I enter the URL as http://augustus:85/wiki it is being rewritten, and saved as http://augustus/wiki

Could this please be fixed, else I can't use it!

Thank you!

This is a really great extension but it does have its glitches in the OOo beta.

What ever the reason may be, it's still great.

Hope the devs take a serious look at the e-mail I sent them!

Just downloaded OOo 2.4, and this extension. When I try to install it, I get the message,

ImplementationRegistration::registerImplementation() InvalidRegistryException during registration (destination key is null or invalid)

whereupon the installation is rolled back.

Any hints what is wrong here and how I can fix it?
