I think an example of what I mean would be helpful.

If I go to the  New Wiki Page page or Edit Wiki Page page, then put the
following as the content:

         <verbatim>
         BEGIN_ASCIIDOC
         *this* is a sample of *asciidoc*
         END_ASCIIDOC
         </verbatim>

Then when I click any Fossil generated link to that wiki page, Fossil will
serve up:

         BEGIN_ASCIIDOC
         *this* is a sample of *asciidoc*
         END_ASCIIDOC

Then if I have suitable JS code, it can look for BEGIN_ASCIIDOC and
END_ASCIIDOC, then feed everything between those 2 line to asciidoc.js

While that works, from a user point of view, it is very kludgy.

A step better would be if Fossil could accept something like:

         <wiki t="asciidoc">
         *this* is a sample of *asciidoc*
         </wiki>

Then serve up something like:

         <div class="wiki_asciidoc">
         *this* is a sample of *asciidoc*
         </div>

This would be less kludgy and maybe even have better/simpler JS code to
find the content and feed it to the renderer.

I don't know whether this would require a new change to Fossil or if Joe's
custom page feature could handle this. And, hopefully, there will be at
least 1 way to make this even less kludgy.
