great, thanks.

there was some brief discussion, i believe the only reason it was chosen
is that no one could think of anything else that was available.  moin uses
{{{text}}} which isn't great, i'm not sure what usemod uses.

i like /italic/ though i'm not sure if that conflicts with anything.  is
there any reason to support _underline_?  or is that deemed confusing.
i've certainly never missed it anyway.

is it really too late?  i think some of the wiki syntax phpwiki uses could
be refined a lot.  the alpha tree is already a large change, would some
changes in hwo it works be possible or is that breaking too much backwards
compatibility.

i agree with you.

how come?  in what situations do you want monospaced text and WikiWords?

great, thanks.
