that was me, and {{{text}}} is kinda cumbersome but it's what moin used.

patch?

yes, i think it is a little more intuitive, the problem i see is that
**bold** will interfere with double indented lists won't it?

it would be nice to see a standard wiki syntax, but then i guess that
would take some of the fun out of writing them.

adam.

ps. i assume everyone knows but moinmoin and twiki's sourceforge pages
were totally wiped by someone the other day, and since the pages were
read/write sf does't want to restore them.  it might pay to make sure that
someone has a backup of the phpwiki page database in case this is wiki
hatred :-)
