Comment(by djb):
The code "looks good," but... is this really a good solution to the
problem? It requires the administrator to predict what tags might exist
in the future, and if he/she misses one, then FCKeditor silently modifies
the author's text.
A much better solution, IMHO, is for FCKeditor+MediaWiki not to modify
what people type! Is this not possible?
One of the things I love about FCKeditor+MediaWiki, compared to (say) some
Drupal editors I've used, is that FCKeditor+MediaWiki gives you back what
you put in. Write wikitext, get back the same wikitext. The last Drupal
editor I used completely mangled my input, turning it into HTML with tons
of extra tags, making it completely unmaintainable the next time I tried
to edit it.
Silently changing the author's text is bad. Storage and retrieval of
wikitext should occur as people expect -- what you put in is what you get
out.
