There is a problem with Wiki markup...

There is a problem with Wiki markup. Which Wiki markup? Exactly my point!

And what about casual users? Wiki markup was intended to be something easy to learn. Why not leverage HTML? Why not allow both? For example, n linefeeds could become n-1 <br>'s (at the time of the display). Well, OK, that would be bad if you paste in a regular HTML doc. But still we could expand WikiWords.

So if we support HTML with only WikiWord expansion, I think we have a nice comprimise. HTML for formatting, and expanded WikiWords for ease of referencing other documents in the Wiki.

Now I've been working on the display of the NPJS document. It now supports HTML when using either AwSwing or AwServlet. Also, when a link has a href that starts with "AwServlet?cmd=", then clicking on that link executes the subsequent command... in BOTH AwSwing and AwServlet. (All other links being ignored by AwSwing.)
