Re: [Text_Wiki] Text_Markup , some necessary evolution of Text_Wiki ?

Hi Bertrand,

Here's a link to the archive for a memory-refresher on the  
(vaporware) Text_Markup follow-on to Text_Wiki:

I've had a little look at DocBook too, and while we may not be able  
to do PEAR-Doc easily, DocBook itself looks not very hard at all.

My thanks to you and Justin and everyone else, too.  You guys have  
done a great, great job.  :-)

I like Text_Markup too (see earlier link).

Agreed that the filespace gets gigantic, but I'm not sure how to  
overcome that while keeping both flexibility and adherence to one-
