Re: Wiki Data

My experience has been that MoinMoin's XML formatter is rarely "well
formed." I believe the reason is the Wiki engine assumes no pages will
contain HTML tags. When they do contain HTML the encoder gets very
confused.

I'm sorry I don't have a solution at this time. I had the same issue
with my MoinMoin Wiki and never figured it out. I ended up switching
to a different engine (MediaWiki) but I don't think SeattleWireless is
going to switch just to get well-formed XML.
