I think what I was proposing would not necessarily require a javascript parser. I think? Instead, it would work something like this:
- Engine simultaneously presents rendered output and wikitext, with
synchronisation points between them 2. User edits some rendered output, transforming it purely at the appearance level 3. Page sends rendered text back, engine compares it somehow with what it sent, and works out the wikitext transformations required.
I see. Yes, that would be quite possible, given an HTML-to-wikitext converter, but also quite pointless, at least IMO. Just ditch the wikitext altogether — it's served its purpose.
