And so we finally come full circle. Of course HTML and "WYSIWYG" editors are

We should go with some simple markup (mediawiki is OK, reST is probably even
better, if less known, but any simple markup will do) and do away with the
WYSIWYG sillyness. Ideally, in future versions, users will just upload changes
from their favourite editor, instead of through the browser (something like the
"external editor" feature in Plone).
