I don't know all the wiki html equivelants... for that matter I only
know very basic html. But what I DO know seems to often be simpler then
the wikipedia alternatives. 

My very basic diary-formatting html commands (because that was why I
learnt to bold, italic etc) include

<B>
<I>
<BR>
<HR>

But the only one of those I use in the pedia is <BR> because I don't
know what if any way there is to force the text to skip down to the next
line. Intuitively, just hitting Enter ought to do it, but it doesn't. I
don't think I've seen the wiki equivelant command. But the others
weren't hard to learn.
