Wiki markups are inherently unstable :-) An asterisk in the first position introduces a bullet list. An asterisk in the body of a line introduces bold text. This is not mentioned in the documentation explicitly - it might be argued it's implicit, and that as the bullet list formation is mentioned first, it would take priority. Each wiki engine seems to invent it's own markup, and of course with multiple wheels being invented, only a few of them are any good. In the blog world, there seem to be a few markup engines (such as Textile) that are gaining a high level of acceptance. There are probably more bloggers out there than there are wiki'istas :-) these days. As always, I'm open to suggestions about the software used by clug.net.nz. If the list decides that it would like a change, I'm happy to host it :-) -jim
