Re: Wiki Syntax
I don't really know how TikiWiki's markup was decided on, but probably the syntax was done as the original coders thought of it, and over time more was added, the TAG plugin added to cover more cases, and so on. This project has a much looser organization than many, and things tend to be added without a lot of top-down planning. So the accumulated result really is a mixed collection, and people are aware of this. There's been talk about moving to wiki creole eventually (http://www.wikicreole.org/wiki/TikiWikiCMSGroupware), but as you say, it's hard to make big changes in midstream, so this will probably be a goal for a major revision in the future.
