The problem is that things like 3 apostrophes on either side of a word in order to make it bold is arcane. The idea of a number of exclamation marks before a line of text to indicate the size of the heading it is is arcane. I could carry on with all the wiki syntax that has been driving me nuts over the last few days but I think you get my point.<br><br>PBWiki is a great product but it didn't suit my needs as I needed a standalone product which meant having to get my hands dirty with the behind the scenes wiki language which users of your product may not have to. having spent the last few days trying to setup a new site that seemed best suited for - exactly as you put it “editing in a browser”.
