Our wiki software needs a major update, especially as we start to expect
users to actually read it.
For instance, look at the FAQ page:
Then, click on edit and see how it should look. From what I can tell,
there are a few obvious errors:
1) The wiki software is completely ignoring line breaks. I could hit
return 4 times and the HTML rendered would be on subsequent lines,
without a break or paragraph tag between them.
2) For some completely strange reason, if you make a list item that
includes a link then the entire list item will be in a smaller font.
This makes for extremely weird and inconsistent lists when a link to
another wiki page is included in some, but not all, of the items.
This is due to http://wiki.winehq.com/wiki/winehq/css/screen.css
#pagebar {
font-size: 1em;
}
Making links overrides this style, and the preview page does not have
this problem, because the content of the preview page is not enclosed in
the #pagebar element.
Not sure about the others yet. Could you elaborate on #3 a bit more?

3) Header text is almost impossible to figure out right, and there is
absolutely no standard of what we should do.
Is there a reason we chose the software we did? Would it be too hard to
migrate to something else, or at least fix the display bugs?
Thanks,
