There are cheat sheets, but it's still vile. However, there's also a visual editor. Which isn't vile, but is somewhat sub-optimal (I usually end up editing the source despite it being vile). However, if you can find a page (or pages) that are similar to what you want to achieve, cutting and pasting source can get you a lot of the way, with the cheat sheets for the final tweaks. Do enough of it and you learn how to do the common stuff. The mark-up language is unlikely to change. Too much legacy stuff. There may be additions in the form of kluges on top of kluges, but backwards-compatibility means it will remain vile. I expect a lot of responses from people telling me how wonderful the mark-up language and visual editor are. But these things are somewhat subjective, so bear in mind I'm expressing how it seems to me (and at least one other person). -- Paul
