ubuntulinux.org/wiki probably has the widest selection of markup types
yet. It's an interesting experiment but may be confusing for editors, I
don't know. Quick pros and cons:
- structured text - zwiki's "native type" - the one we use on zwiki.org,
so most tested and works most smoothly with other zwiki features
(comments etc.). Simple, forgiving, allows html when you need it, and
for my money the most bang for your buck.
- moin markup - very new in zwiki and will still have issues. Most of
your pages use this at the moment. Moin extended link syntax, macros
etc. not yet supported.
- restructured text - apparently popular, well specified, good for
generating pdfs etc, but fussy and complicated.
- html - plain HTML plus zwiki links. Uses the epoz wysiwyg html editor
if possible; most of your browsers should show this.
