I echo Sheeri's sentiment about HTML. It's so annoying to have to learn
yet another quasi pseudo wiki language in order to type stuff into a
wiki. Just give me HTML... And I say to the engine "please, what I used
for HTML in what I'm submitting, I really meant it. Don't do me any
favors and try to style it as you see fit"
Ahem, Brian will attest to something we both experienced that this
reminds me of... Template Toolkit

I'm pretty unhappy with most wikis. I already know a markup

means "bold" but damned if I can remember if it's '' or ''' in
wiki markup.
MediaWiki, that we're using now, accepts embedded HTML.
Oh, they all do, and that's what I use mostly....but it's still silly
to have to learn a markup language to avoid using....a markup language.
yes, it's nice to have [wiki:LinkToSomething link to something] but <A
HREF="linktosomething.html"> link to something</A> isn't really that
complicated.
wikis are nice for uploading images and *creating* links, sure, but <
b > foo < / b > is really nicer to me than '''foo''' ... or is it
''foo'' ?
