 Do not use linebreaks (\\) in Tables as this will cause a new line in the PDFtable and will render the table useless.

+=====Convert Word documents to the dokuwiki format=====
+Technical documents on new model developments are often prepared in Word format. To disseminate their information content, those documents can be converted to the dokuwiki format and be included into the CAPRI wiki. This section provides a few tips on how to do the conversion of Word documents.
+  * The Pandoc software provides an easy-to-use framework for document conversion. [[https://pandoc.org/installing.html | Dowload Pandoc here]]
+  * For converting mathematical formulas, you will need Latex. Miktex is the most common Latex package for Windows [[https://miktex.org/download | Dowload Miktex here]]
+  * Pandoc can be used from the command line, or by optionally including the commands in a batch file. A simple example for converting the Word document 'some.docx' to dokuwiki format:
+  <code>pandoc -i some.docx - o mydoku -t dokuwiki </code>
+  * Pictures in the Word document can not be converted automatically with pandoc. Those must be included by first uploading them using the 'Media Manager' and then linking them in the wiki content by using the following syntax (please think about organizing your pictures in a folder structure in case you have many pictures to add to your wiki document):
+  <code>{{:wiki:picture.png?nolink|}}</code>
+  * The hierarchy of the section headers (levels) might need to be revised after the conversion, depending on where the converted document will be inserted in the CAPRI wiki
