I honestly think some change is required here if only because it makes documenting both code and project a lot easier. I'm all for being lazy and HTML is 100% work.
Also, Zed challenged me to prove that more people want any kind of (better) formatting than not: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dDBVZS1CM0M0akFiSlRtUE5CdUdKa2c6MA There's the form link. I am in no way in control of this or any part of Fossil. I simply want to see for personal curiosity.
