Background
I wrote this tool to simplify the process of authoring minimally formatted HTML documents as used on my website and other locations. Wiki text syntax is fairly easy to learn and serves as a good base for authoring HTML using only a text editor. This online variant can be used freely.
The source code is available in the CVS repository under the module ffnn-php-wikitexttohtml. See the included documentation on how to use the WikiTextToHTML class on your own site.
