Yeah. If you don't implement this by tomorrow I'm coming to get you!
Apart from tables, the only html code I have consistently found
indispensable is <br>. We certainly don't need things like <p> </p> pairs.
My vote is for a "Wikfy and preview" button.
I thought #5 was being done already? #7 through 9 would need to be thought
about carefully. For instance, "Joe Bloggs died in [[1978]] at the ripe
old age of 92" should not become "Joe Bloggs died in [[1978]] at the ripe
old age of [[92]]". A newbie might just OK the change.
