Thank you both, this helped me a lot. I think right now I'm mostly battling the linked images in the original html files. Xwiki uses relative paths and those are not valid anymore after converting to a wiki page. I think I need to handle this when I create the html files and embed the images as text - ugly but the only option I see right now.

I`m not much of a Python fan, but if you say you`re into it, you could always try the http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Python+Macro and script your way using your favorite language :) If you try it, let me know how it went ;) For scripting API see http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/API and the available bindings at http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Script+Macro Now, for your particular use case, you could either create a new wiki page and: 1) use the HTML syntax directly for that wiki page and just dump your HTML content in it or 2) use the rendering script service ($services.rendering, i.e. https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-rendering/xwiki-platform-rendering-xwiki/src/main/java/org/xwiki/rendering/script/RenderingScriptService.java) to parse the HTML content into XDOM and then render it to xwiki/2.1 syntax that you can then save inside the newly created page Depends where you want to go with it.
