See ``APT stands for "Almost Plain Text"'' -- http://maven.apache.org/doxia/references/apt-format.html This was implemented by the means of what we called a ``structured format plug-in''. Writing a structured format plug-in was straightforward and allowed to support any non-XML, though structured, formats. As of XXE v4, we have given up support for structured format plug-ins: * for the sake of simplicity; * because there was no interest in our two existing structured format plug-ins: ** APT, ** Javadoc comments; * because no developers expressed an interest in developing their own structured format plug-ins. --> In summary, * The cleanest, high-end, way to implement your request is to revive the support of structured format plug-in and to write structured format plug-ins for a number of well-known Wiki markups. However we don't see any revenue in doing this. * The low-end approach, ``provide a plain text copy'' can be very easily implemented by the means of a command written in Java (may be even just a macro). If you are really motivated, you can do that yourself.
