Thanks for the link, perhaps it can be used.

We're using Drupal and not MediaWiki.  There is a module contributed 
for Drupal that supplies a wiki filter 
http://drupal.org/project/pearwiki_filter and it uses the Text_Wiki 
Pear package http://pear.php.net/package/Text_Wiki/ and I've chosen the 
MediaWiki formatting features.  I had started using DokuWiki formatting 
but found it lacking in some features.
