Thats common sence to me - i've been developing interfaces for 0ver 15 years.

Not exactly sure what your point is.  My point was that the wiki and
the official/polished documentation are diferent.  I think the wiki
should be as easy as posible for new users to edit and the
documentation use a very flexable standardised markup.

I think having the wiki looking a little diference is good.  Users on
the main site who do a search and end up on a wiki page may be
'suprised' if it is not as polished as the main site.

There seems to be a bit of confusion here - there is a big diference
between the requierments of a wiki and a documentasion CMS.
