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:

1) 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?

3) 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?

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.
