My feeling is no. It breaks the fundamental concept of separating markup
from content. This concept is one of the huge strengths of a wiki.

If it was decided it should be implemented, it should definitely be a
plugin so that only those users who are willing to break the
content/markup separation can enable it. 

I think this goes for much of PHPwiki at the moment. There are heaps and
heaps of features that are not used for many wikis and having them in
the default installation makes it much more complex to maintain a
PHPwiki installation. Breaking them out into plugins would make PHPwiki
vastly superior. 

I have grand intentions to help out in this area, I'm just slightly tied
up bringing the Debian packages into line at the moment, but as soon as
I get that under control modularisation of PHPwiki is something I would
quite like to look at. 

Cheers
