Here's a quick overview of my syntax:

    CamelCase internal links (modified to allow Jan2000, etc.)
    ''emphisis'' and '''strong emphisis'''
    [http://this.is.an.internal/link.html]
    [[double square brackets for monospace font,turns off other
      processing]]
    --- At start of line is a horizontal ruler
    * Lists are lines starting with * (bullet) or # (numbered)
    **# Nested lists okay
    [[[ at beginning of line starts a <pre> block ]]] at line start ends.
    !!Bangs at line start are headers (!=H1, !!=H2, !!!=H3, etc.)

Other than that the Wiki is pretty simple, template pages can be used but 
there's a simple default built in too. No search or page backup. Each page 
is a file with a .wiki extension. Pretty simple stuff really.

Wiki CGI source available on request.
