[9fans] wiki enhancements

[Lucio De Re]

I happen to use "kwiki" under NetBSD, with a number of useful features
that I feel are missing in the Plan 9 wiki.  Am I to understand that
the implementation of additional features in the wiki is encouraged
rather than forbidden by some explicit or hidden philosophy I am not
aware of?

Typically, I'm thinking of headers, bullets, font qualifiers and
preformatting.  Some of these may be available in the Plan 9 wiki, and
those will remain, at minimum, compatible, but some are sorely
missing, if my memory of the metapage is anything to go by.

"Read the source, Luke!" is still coming :-)

The tricky bit about wikifs is to make sure any features you add still
work and look fine with the acme interface. This forces to keep things
simple, which is a good thing.

You can find my TODO list of features I want to add to wikifs and Wiki
in my wiki page:

/mnt/wiki/uriel/

Ideas about how to implement the various features(specially on what
syntax to use that keep the acme interface sane) are very appreciated.
