Just what you can do will depend on the particular wiki app and how it
stores its data - which could be in a simple database, or a funny file
hierarchy, or all in one big file - every wiki seems to be different!

I am , coincidentally, wanting to do just hte same with some data I
have in a stickwiki - where it's all in one html file in a load of
div's, mixed up with loads of javascript. Stickwiki also provides a
'export' into a set of linked HTML files. For that case I think a bit
of bespoke perl running over the original single monolithic file
might be easier than merging a load of exported separate files.

I see Hugo has replied something similar while I've been here.
