Hi All

While you make many valid points, there is a bit of a lack of a broader 
vision, crippled perhaps by an over-commitment to text mode.

This problem has been solved with the advent of the TiddlyWiki, which 
use WikiText.

They use CamelCase a lot. A CamelCase word is automatically linked 
within a single TiddlyWiki by the inbuilt editor to another point within 
the text. Hence the MainMenu I use in every TiddlyWiki uses CamelCase.

And yes, they are best viewed with a web client (browser).

See tiddlywiki.com. Downloads are free.

Search there for WikiText for more. The homepage is of course a 
TiddlyWiki.

Note also the broad ecosystem surrounding TiddlyWikis.

Here is one of mine: http://savage.net.au/misc/symbolic.language.html

It's a download accompanying a TV script I'm preparing to submit to ABC 
TV here in Melbourne Victoria.

Click on the MainMenu item TiddlyWikis for more about the TiddlyWiki 
concept, especially about the fact that the inbuilt edit has a little 
command language and can generate HTML for you.

I keep a directory full of these, one per project.
