Preamble

The wikitext parsing works roughly like this (the following is a WW source file written in wikitext):

Use of $$ tags should be OK

Here is a formula: $x\to 3$. We can also make regular wiki links, and so on: WorkingWiki.

Wiki headers work

HTML headers also work

Avoid the use of source-file tags inside .wikitext files

They are not supported, and seem confusing.

project-file tags are fine, on the other hand:

= Use of $$ tags should be OK =

project-file tags are fine, on the other hand:
 
<project-file filename=test.wikitext display=source/>

Possible uses include:

• develop simple documents in wikitext, and write scripts to convert them to printable output formats under WW. Wikitext parsing is hard, though, and maybe best left to MediaWiki.

• develop simple documents in some other markup, and write scripts to convert them to wikitext for display on the wiki.

• process data and output wikitext files that look good included on wiki pages. We are doing this now on some of the lalashan wikis.
