So I went to upload my text philes to my wiki, and right out of the gate it wouldn't allow me to upload files with the .asc extension, even though they're plain text files. I had to edit a configuration file to change that.
Then there's no way to create a new page from within the wiki UI. You have to type the URL of a non-existent page into the address bar, which gives you the "This page doesn't exist" page, and click the "Create this page" button to edit it.
Having to learn a goofy new markup language isn't too bad, since you can find out what markup to use for headers and what-not by using the toolbar buttons to create one. Still, what's wrong with good old BBCode?
Although the wiki engine stores wiki pages as plain text files, it treats uploaded text files as media. It'll create a link to the file, but it won't create a wiki page from the file.
The biggest bite in the ass is that it won't do single line breaks. It'll do a faux paragraph break if you hit Enter twice, but you can't have a line start right under the previous line, as most forum software naturally does.
What I really need is a program where I can upload the textfile package -- a zip file containing the textfile and a FILE_INFO.DIZ description file -- and have it automagically unzip and create an HTML page from the content and description. The Mystic BBS software does something like that, except it's a telnet/modem platform, not Web-based.
