Hi Mat

I really like this for a several reasons:

* Despite its limitations you’ve made enough of it to clearly communicate your 
underlying vision, and give people an opportunity to see what it feels like
* It helps to identify the primitives we might need to make a “production” 
version
* It’s a tour de force of your wikitext skills

I know that CodeMirror has a bunch of features for adding autocomplete to the 
editor, and I wonder if that might be the quickest route to something really 
usable.

Best wishes

Jeremy
