It was converted during the upgrade, but in a few places it failed. E.g. see the upgrade change done automatically: http://wiki.freebsd.org/FrontPage?action=diff&rev2=172&rev1=171 and the small fixup I had to do: http://wiki.freebsd.org/FrontPage?action=diff&rev2=173&rev1=172 > One very annoying "feature" of moinmoin, btw, is that it does not > understand nested markup, e.g. monospace or italic in a section title. > Do you know if they've fixed this, or intend to fix it in a later > version? Unfortunatly I have no idea. I actually don't use the wiki much myself so, except when things break, I don't look too much at it as I personally much prefer emacs + XML/HTML + cvs/hg + make + xslt for writing web pages :-). An overview of changes can be found at http://moinmo.in/MoinMoinRelease1.6 - but the detailed list is LONG so I have not read that list more closely. It should be noted that I certainly know that moinmoin is not perfect, and given a choice I would probably pick another wiki, but at this point I don't think the pain of switching is worth the trouble. -- Simon L.
