Eleni Cojocariu 3.1 1 Content from another wiki reaches XWiki through the [[Filter Application>>doc:extensions:Extension.Filter Application]], a generic framework whose modules each read one source format. The route with the most tooling behind it is [[Import from Confluence>>doc:documentation.extensions.admin.confluence.import.WebHome]], which reads a Confluence export through the [[Filter Confluence XML module>>doc:extensions:Extension.Filter Confluence XML module]]. Neither is bundled with XWiki Standard, so both are installed as [[extensions>>doc:documentation.extensions.WebHome]].

Eleni Cojocariu 3.1 3 Such a conversion rewrites the imported content in XWiki syntax, so it gains the native [[macros>>doc:xwiki:Help.Macros.WebHome]] and rendering.
