Wiki Creole

​Wiki Creole is a tentative to create a compatibility layer between Wikis, by trying to define a kind of common syntax:

Creole is a common wiki markup language to be used across different Wikis. It's not replacing existing markup but instead enabling wiki users to transfer content seamlessly across wikis, and for novice users to contribute more easily.

While our current Wiki engine doesn't yet allow to implement compatibility with WikiCreole by the way of a plugin, our Wiki Syntax happens to be close enough to the spec that only small tweaking would be needed to reach a good compatibility level.

Update: WikiCreole is partially implemented for Trac by a patch. More details in ticket #4356.
