Wiki markup standard workshop
2006
Proceedings of the 2006 international symposium on Wikis - WikiSym '06
In becoming wiki editors, non-technical users face many obstacles, one of the largest being that every wiki has its own unique syntax. A common wiki markup would facilitate not only learning and teaching wikis, but also developing advanced wiki editors and tools. The wiki markup standard should be intuitive and unlikely to interfere with existing text. Critics say users will not change, but if a wiki standard were developed, all wiki engines could take advantage of it. A wiki markup standard is critical to advancing wikis across the board.
