*blows dust off list*

90% documentation of wikitext is not hard. The last 10% has killed
every attempt.

[percentages not exact]

So. I suspect what will happen to get WYSIWYG editing is that
FCKeditor or similar will get a fair way into that 10%, then whatever
remains will be deprecated and bot-converted away from.

Then we translate FCKeditor into EBNF/ANTLR/WTFBOL and the world is a
utopia of third-party parsers galore and everything is rainbows and
unicorns!

The question that springs to my mind is: What is that last 10%? Has
anyone documented the pitfalls that killed the intrepid explorers of
the past?
