Ah, now I see why it only works on Emacs for you. On FreeBSD+nvi this
works:
fossil wiki export PageName foo.wiki

Actually, I think I'll probably just use a wiki directory within the
project's base directory, check out files there, and commit them to the
main repository, as a workaround for making it possible to edit the wiki
as part of the main repository. There just needs to be a checkout from
the wiki every time before editing, then a double-check to make sure
someone hasn't changed the wiki again before importing the file contents
back into the wiki.
I'd really like to see the possibility of edit race conditions
eliminated, of course, but I don't see a "good" way to do that without
making it possible to either have a separate wiki checkout complete with
merge and all the trimmings or integrate the wiki directly with the main
check-out-able repository. Is there any chance of such a feature being
added in the nearish future . . . ?
