*blows dust off list*
90% documentation of wikitext is not hard. The last 10% has killed every attempt.
[percentages not exact]
So. I suspect what will happen to get WYSIWYG editing is that FCKeditor or similar will get a fair way into that 10%, then whatever remains will be deprecated and bot-converted away from.
Then we translate FCKeditor into EBNF/ANTLR/WTFBOL and the world is a utopia of third-party parsers galore and everything is rainbows and unicorns!
The question that springs to my mind is: What is that last 10%? Has anyone documented the pitfalls that killed the intrepid explorers of the past?
