I meant to add one key difference between MarkDown and TW5 WikiText; in
MarkDown:

> Note that Markdown formatting syntax is not processed within block-level
HTML tags. E.g., you can’t use Markdown-style *emphasis* inside an HTML
block.

Meanwhile TW5 *does* process wikitext within block-level HTML tags, which I
think makes the HTML tag handling much more useful.

Best wishes

Jeremy
