HTML is not "complete" enough?  What do you want to do (or for that matter
what does any other wiki system do) that you can't do (in a more "standard"
way, I should add) with HTML?

The philosophy of Fossil Wiki is to provide simple and common wiki-style
markup to accomplish 90% of what you need, then allow the use of HTML for
the other 10%.  HTML is seen as superior to increasingly arcane Wiki
formatting for the complicated stuff because (1) most programmers already
know HTML so there is nothing new to learn, (2) HTML is a standard, and (3)
HTML allows you to do just about whatever you want to do in a web browser -
it is "complete".  You can disagree with the design choice here.  But please
distinguish between a lack of understanding and a disagreement.

The "fossil ui" command lets you do exactly that.  I use Fossil daily for
work on SQLite.  I normally enter and/or edit tickets off-line (using the
"fossil ui" command) then push them up to the servers later.  This is the
standard way of working with Fossil.  I am sorry that you were left with the
impression that one had to be online and connected to a server to work with
Fossil tickets.  I thought the documentation was reasonably clear on the
point that tickets and wiki could be edited offline.  Perhaps I can find a
way to make it clearer.
