Re: using vim as external mediawiki editor

Examine the $DISPLAY environment variable. If non-empty, you have a X11

If you want to document things like this, rather than being really precise and enumerating every weido invalid-but-accepted syntax, you may find it's as simple as: if a punctuation/special/meta char cannot complete the special syntax it introduces, treat the special char as an ordinary char and proceed.
