It doesn't even have built-in support for soft line wrapping, i.e. word wrapping at the window edge.
Unix tools work best on hard "wrapped" lines (grep, awk, wc) and proper file formats can cope perfectly with long lines and "wrapped" lines (TeX, SGML, etc.). The wikipedia file format is, errm, the wikipedia file format--it's not that bad, but it surely has issues; esp. when it comes to lists
Or you could use a decent *text* editor like nedit, scite or gvim.
Was there done that--but now I'm using Emacs since 10 years or so and I still don't regret this decision. More likely I'll stay away from wikipedia than dropping Emacs ;)
