I wanted something -to create mostly text web pages which, as far as possible, have source which is human -readable or at least in a standard format. ikiwiki does this twice over by using -markdown for the source and producing static HTML from it. - -I'm currently using TWiki and have a fair number of pages in that format, does -anyone have any bright ideas for translating?
