Would it be an option to write a script that checks this and reports possible
problems? The admin could then fix those before upgrading. I imagine that
those errors will be only very few. That's why I'd like to run some tests on
the Savane DB. If it turns out that there are many problem cases, we must not
perform that markup.

I still don't like the idea very much to add some special tags to every DB
entry. I think it would be a cleaner solution to disable the wiki markup for
those entries completely, even for future entries. We could then allow the
markup only for project descriptions and recipes.

Hm, we could do that. However, I like this *syntax* better than this
**syntax**. We could also allow both, since the single markup characters
already work ...
