Our wiki software needs a major update, especially as we start to expect users to actually read it.
For instance, look at the FAQ page:
Then, click on edit and see how it should look. From what I can tell, there are a few obvious errors:
- The wiki software is completely ignoring line breaks. I could hit
return 4 times and the HTML rendered would be on subsequent lines, without a break or paragraph tag between them. 2) For some completely strange reason, if you make a list item that includes a link then the entire list item will be in a smaller font. This makes for extremely weird and inconsistent lists when a link to another wiki page is included in some, but not all, of the items.
This is due to http://wiki.winehq.com/wiki/winehq/css/screen.css
#pagebar { font-size: 1em; }
Making links overrides this style, and the preview page does not have this problem, because the content of the preview page is not enclosed in the #pagebar element.
Not sure about the others yet. Could you elaborate on #3 a bit more?

- Header text is almost impossible to figure out right, and there is
absolutely no standard of what we should do.
Is there a reason we chose the software we did? Would it be too hard to migrate to something else, or at least fix the display bugs?
Thanks, Scott Ritchie
Regarding header text: do I use 1 = sign, or two, or three, or four, or even five? Pages vary considerably around the entire wiki, though this might be our fault as authors rather than the software.
Thanks, Scott Ritchie
You should start out with 1 level - i.e., a top-level section. Multiple equals signs should be used for sub-sections. E.g., = Section 1= == Sub-section 1.1 == == Sub-section 1.2 == === Sub-sub-section 1.2.1 === = Section 2 =
Unfortunately, it seems they are often used for the same reason many people (ab)use the various <hx> tags HTML - to gain a certain font size, rather than for semantic meaning.
