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! Je77
