"Automatic" was more about the fact that 1.0 content is converted on
the fly (without saving the source after the conversion) when included
(using {{include}} macro) in a 2.0 document to be integrated in the
new architecture.
For 1.9 we plan to do http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3080
For now we don't want to systematically convert 1.0 content to 2.0
content by default since theses are very different syntaxes (it's not
just about the simple wiki syntax but also the fact that the way to
insert velocity/html in 2.0 is very different) and an automatic
converter will never be perfect for pages mixing lots of velocity and
html like applications so we prefer that user make the choice to
convert a page or a whole wiki and check that all is ok after that.
The converter is an help during the transition between 1.0 and 2.0, we
try to make it as good as possible but we don't have time to do a
converter smart enough to be sure it convert a wiki without breaking
anything whatever the use case.
Now we could have an option to automatically convert the way you see
it if no velocity/html is found in the content (the only document wich
have the WYSIWYG by default in 1.0). Could you create an issue on
http://jira.xwiki.org if it seems a good idea to you ?
