Hiya sparkes

In the Plone website we have different content types.  Depending on what 
content type, we have different formats available.

e.g. In documents, we have: Structured text, HTML and Plain text options 
only.


in the Documentation area (Plone Help Centre), for FAQs, How To's and we 
have
Structured text
reStructured Text
HTML
Plain text


In ZWiki we have:

Structured text
reStructured Text
HTML
Plain text
MoinMoin markup

What do you suggest we use? MoinMoin for the wiki? reStructured text 
when we can and Structured text when reStructured text is not available 
as the default?

It would be good to standardise it. Perhaps Structured text for the 
entire website and MoinMoin for the wiki?

what are your thoughts?

Thanks
Lu

Soon cacheing on plone will be fixed and we will add the "join" 
functionality and more users will be coming in to edit the site.

Currently, in different sections, we are able to use different text formats.

For example:

Document = HTML, Structured text
