<DIV><BR></DIV>MediaWiki is the software behind Wikipedia. The markup
language it uses is even easier than HTML. Instead of
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV><h2>title</h2></DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>you type</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>==title==</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<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>

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
