Wow - that would be excellent :)

One suggestion I'd add would be the option to define styles on the 
fly, maybe using "..." eg

!!!{enormous orangebox "margin:2em; border:3px solid red;" #title} A 
Gigantic Orange-Boxed Title with a solid red border and 2ems of space 
around it

partly for handling one-off situations that don't warrant knocking up 
a separate class, partly for 'mucking around' with some formatting 
(wiki-style tweaking) til you get it just right, at which point you 
may or may not 'solidify' that style info into a class. This is how 
new styles end up being arrived at in the real world.

In the mean-time, what tentative steps would I have to take to figure 
out what mods I've added to my existing twenty or so 1.3.0 wikis (not 
all of which have needed all the mods I've added - eek!) and how to 
begin the (enormous) task of upgrading them to phpwiki 
1.3.whatever-we're-at? I'm guessing something to do with diff & patch 
(which are to me like distant cousins - I've heard of them but 
they're not exactly familiar). Can I still download a clean copy of 
1.3.0 from somewhere to diff against one of my current wikis? Anyone 
want to help me (off-list) with diff commands and such?

John.
