However, custom markup rules would work only as a partial solution here, since PmWiki stores pages (with all diffs) in its own peculiar flat file format that can't really be edited directly. (Take a look at the files in your wiki.d directory.) I suppose one could create org markup rules for Pmwiki and then edit the pages in org-mode via w3m. There is also a defunct pmwiki-mode for emacs that pulls PmWiki pages off a website for editing. For org-mode/wiki integration, oddmuse might be a good choice, since its stores each pages as a very simple plain text file. In fact, a quick google search revealed some efforts to create org-mode markup for oddmuse a year ago. - http://www.oddmuse.org/cgi-bin/oddmuse/Comments_on_Writing_Extensions - http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/4032 I'll have to investigate further. - Matt
