<gasp!> ackk.. kcchhh.. :-) 

But seriously, why you feel this is a wiki problem ?  Did you mean
"the way we are currently using wiki for zope documentation" or wiki
technology in general ?

I agree with the problem described of course, and I'm interested in
solving it too.

Oho, I thought the HTML() method used by zwiki was classic stx, even
on 2.4, but I see I was wrong.

I'm close to doing some 2.4 testing for myself (as soon as I figure
out why DTML has stopped executing on my system..)

A related note: for people who have been experiencing problems with
UserOptions due to 2.4's different handling of _, it sounds like this
might have been fixed in 2.4.3 ? Perhaps someone can confirm.
