there are modules to integrate the following wysiwyg editors into
drupal so that users don't need to use html at all:<br>

anyway) <br>

<div>Likewise, you do things like ''italics'', '''bold''', and so
on. Nothing earth-shattering, but it's easier to type than all that
angle-bracket stuff.</div>

<div>When you say, "the wysiwyg editors", are you talking about
wysiwyg editors in general, or are there some which are specifically
meant to work with drupal?</div>

<blockquote type="cite"> I am not familiar with MediaWiki so can you
give an example of what you think would be a more user-friendly markup
language than html? I think html is pretty friendly, especially with
drupal giving you the ability to limit which html the user can edit.
html is also the most widely known and accepted markup and familiarity
is the greatest path to usability. <br>
<br>
plus there are the wysiwyg editors - at least 5 - maybe one of them
supports what you are looking for.<br>

there any way to enter text with markup other than HTML? Most wikis
have a much more user-friendly markup language (MediaWiki being one
common example). Are there Drupal modules that let you enter text like
