Kinda of:

[stephan@host:~/cvs/fossil/libfossil]$ f help wiki
Usage: f wiki (export|create|commit|list) WikiName

Run various subcommands to work with wiki entries.

    f wiki export PAGENAME ?FILE?

       Sends the latest version of the PAGENAME wiki
       entry to the given file or standard output.

    f wiki commit PAGENAME ?FILE?

       Commit changes to a wiki page from FILE or from standard
       input.

    f wiki create PAGENAME ?FILE?

       Create a new wiki page with initial content taken from
       FILE or from standard input.

    f wiki list

       Lists all wiki entries, one per line, ordered
       case-insensitively by name.


you can use 'export' to export a page to a file, edit in emacs (won't work
with anything else ;), then use 'commit' to save the changes. Unfortunate
there's not a direct way to preview changes without saving unless you want
to use the JSON API (which provides "preview" feature for wiki text passed
to it).

It is, but it's not quite like the "embedded docs" feature (which might be
a better fit for you, except that you lose the ability to edit over the
HTML interface).
