Hello,

I was playing with Tiki several years ago and almost migrated to it, but
then, for whatever reasons deployed other stuff and used
static-site-generators i(SSG)recently.

However, although SSG is nice, providing clean markup markup, fast site
etc., there is problem that one has to use some custom search solution
(or pay for 3rd aprty service), then there is a question of commenting
system for those wanting not to be tied with Disqus...same thing with
form processing, chat app to provide simple support for visitors,
integrate some sort of calendar for tracking events etc.

This is the territory where Tiki does really shine and besides that atm
I do not have a clue how to customize Tiki themes in order to avoid
having another typical Bootstrap site (jay to BSfez!!), there is
something which troubles me even more and that's writing of the
content...

There is no need to explain (considering my usage of SSG) that I'm
accustomed to use my preferred editor (Emacs) and write using some
'standard' markup like rst/asciidoc/markdown and take advantage of
editor's help in the form of helper functions, syntax high. etc., so
wonder if there is some workaround in TIki to be able to writen offline
and not having WYSIWYG online editor only?

There is some support for Tiki markup in Pandoc in the form of "reader"
so one can use Tiki markup to export content into some other markup
forms, but I do lack a "writer" to allow me to some some 'standard'
markup I'm accustomed to (e.g. reStructuredText) and convert into Tiki
via simple copy&paste...I have asked for it
(https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/4825) so if someone consider it
can be helpful for Tiki community, please comment!

Iirc, there was also wikiLingo (https://github.com/wikiLingo/wikiLingo)
initiative, but it looks it's stalled?


Sincerely,
Gour
