Wikitext Converters
PHP
- Perhaps the best choice from a PHP developers point of view is the Text_Wiki PEAR Package. It "transforms Wiki and BBCode markup into XHTML, LaTeX or plain text markup." It has even a adapter for Mediawiki code
- PHP: http://www.ffnn.nl/pages/projects/wiki-text-to-html.php
- PHP, with good explanation and online demo: http://www.novell.com/communities/node/3370/wiki-cool-solutions-converter
PDF to HTML
- http://www.pdfonline.com/convert-pdf-to-html/ ; online service; quite clean; for individual use; limited to 2 MB per upload
- http://pdftohtml.sourceforge.net/
Others
- Wiky is a clientside Wiki markup to HTML converter written in javascript. As it is bidirectional, it can convert Wiki markup to HTML and later convert that generated HTML text back to Wiki markup.

Word Cleaners
- There is a pretty nice, effective free online cleaner at http://word2cleanhtml.com/cleanit

- Another online tool is http://www.wordhtmlcleaner.co.uk/; you upload the HTML from your hard drive
