We've had some issues with Text::WikiFormat in the last few months and it doesn't seem to get updated very often. As I commented during last weekend's meetup, I'd like to replace it. HTML::WikiConverter looks like a good possibility:

http://search.cpan.org/~diberri/HTML-WikiConverter-0.61/

It allows custom dialects to be implemented easily, so we wouldn't have to worry much about our specific syntax (which is pretty much a UseModWiki subset anyway).

Thoughts?

Can we go for a generic approach. Like the wiki store being a pluggable back end, I see the formatter as something similar.

As far as I am aware, OpenGuides and Wiki::Toolkit have been architected this way.

Maybe the formatter can be a config choice.
