Here is the page List of 7400 series integrated circuits, converted into a wikitable:

Conversion method:

1. Copy to an editor that can search and replace ^CR/^LF control codes. (I am using Microsoft Word since I am familiar with it and have it readily available.)

2. Insert table breaks ( |- ) between rows of data, and add a hidden "part number" column marker to make future column editing easier.

Replace: "^p* " With: "^p|-^p| "

3. Insert additional table rows between part number and description, and include hidden column markers for the added table rows.

Replace: ": " With: | "^p  ^p|   ^p| "

4. Fix up any items that don't convert correctly, near end of table.

5. Add to top of table:

7. Paste the formatted table back into the wikipedia edit window.
