editText is the text that is used when editing. Unfortunately, for your 
purposes, when text gets saved, it gets processed. For swiki compliant 
pages (i.e. following something that is like Swiki), editText will be the 
same thing you put into it. 

The things that will give you problems is an odd number of *s in a line, 
as that invokes a link.

Peace and Luck!
