Google Apps Script for exporting a selected cell range to DokuWiki

This is a Google Apps Script to convert Google Sheets table to DokuWiki plain-text syntax. Create a google spreadsheet with two worksheets one named 'Table' and other named 'DokuWiki'. Select the data in the sheet named 'Table' and run the script and you will get the required text code for the selected range in the sheet named 'DokuWiki'. The user will also get an email with the required text file with plain-text syntax.

Please install typography plugin before using this.
