Nathan Schmidt whipped up a quick pbwiki 2.0 API call for rendering wikistyle text into html, and I used that to create a classic editor for 2.0 wikis.

instructions for putting it on your wiki can be found here:

I am seeing problems in PB Wiki 2.0 also with TOC elements. I get really inconsistent results on some pages. The TOC contains data for about half the page and then just stops. Once a page has this problem, I haven't found a way to fix it.

Interesting point about the lack of wikistyle making the site more like something like geocities...

Going to the Oxford English Dictionary definition of a wiki: A type of web page designed so that its content can be edited by anyone who accesses it, using a simplified markup language.

pbwiki definately is straying away from being a true wiki.

So I just started playing with PBWiki today and I agree that the lack of WikiStyle is a real hinderance for people who write long documents - which is much easier to do offline in a simple text editor. Sure, writing docs offline and then uploading in one giant shot isn't very collaborative, but that's how a lot of things get started.

I understand the issue with WYSIWYG editors destroying WikiStyle (I've seen this with Confluence, SocialText, MediaWiki, etc.) but that seems solvable by constraining edits to what you can do in WikiStyle if the admin chooses to support that.
