Barely computer literate means you need a cheatsheet to *know* what  
either is. I consider myself very computer literate and I've never  
touched emacs (cause Vi is so much better you see ... *cough*) :)

use.perl has a drop down on it's edit boxes letting you choose your  
favorite markup, and I know that Wiki::Toolkit supports multiple wiki  
texts. I suppose the issue would be trying to do revisions in Format  
A when the previous version was done in Format B.
