one reason why we should phase out HTML in wiki text.
This is wrong reasoning. We should allow as much HTML we do now, but make parser understand more of it, so it can fix some mistakes.
What do we use HTML for? From what I've seen: * tables -- well, most people agree that HTML tables are ugly. we just haven't yet come up with a good enough alternative. * erroneous use of <BR> -- if you need a new paragraph, make one. If you feel you need a "half paragraph-break", then rethink your writing style. * LI, UL, OL -- people who haven't read the documentation. I suppose we can keep <LI> as a synonym for * * aligning images right or left with complex DIV or TABLE constructs -- as above -- we need better syntax.
any other uses I've missed?
