Nah, one page has one format. If a page is written in ReST you can't
edit in MarkDown syntax or DokuWiki's syntax and vice versa.

I agree that if pages are written in different markup languages this is
quite confusing. We could maybe say: everything has to be written in
reStructuredText.

Though in some cases it might better to use DokuWiki's syntax instead
of reStructuredText. One example might be to show some code examples
which can DokuWiki highlight out of the box, e.g.

<code C>
int my_fancy_function(char arg1)
{
    /* I do very fancy things */
   int a =0;
   int b = a;

   return b;
}
</code>

In reStructuredText this isn't possible, without manually patching,
AFAIK. There you have only a block with the code.

So, in the end, I personally, would say we allow both syntax variants,
accepting that it is a bit confusing.
The good thing is, you quickly see what syntax a page is in when you
are editing it because all reStructuredText pages are enclosed by <rst>
tags.
