	As  examples, try the first page of the Swahili Wikipedia:<br />
	<strong>http://sw.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mwanzo</strong><br />
	or the first page of the BBC Swahili site:<br />
	<strong>http://www.bbc.co.uk/swahili</strong><br />
	(With pages on the latter website, note that the audio player controls do not display properly, but any queued audio will still start to play.)

<h6>Notes on the <em>Convert a webpage</em> tool</h6>
<ul>
<li>
Although this tool should work on most webpages, most testing has been done with <a href="http://sw.wikipedia.org">Wikipedia</a> pages.
</li>
<li>
While there should be no problems with the main text of the webpage, some peripheral "page furniture" (eg menus, lists of links, etc) may or may not be converted properly.
</li>
<li>
Only a subset of characters are allowed in the web address: alphanumeric characters (a-z, 0-9), full-stops (.), hyphens (-), underscores (_), single quotes ('), colons (:) and slashes (/).
</li>
<li>
Non-existent web-addresses will produce a blank conversion page.
</li>
<li>
The initial <em>http://</em> can be omitted from the web address if desired.
</li>
<li>
Links on the converted page will go to unconverted (Roman script) pages.  If you wish to convert a large number of pages, you may find it easier to use the offline converter (currently being tested).
</li>
</ul>
