No, this is a design philosophy of MediaWiki which we have decided to keep (not hack around). Allowing HTML opens up a minefield of determining what tags are permitted and what are not. -- Ian Weller <ian(a)ianweller.org> Where open source multiplies: http://opensource.com

Frank: Have you tried creating a page in HTML, then having one of us help convert it to wiki syntax? Aside from the learning value, there may be something you are trying to convey that isn't (yet) conveyable in the wiki. Then some of us could help build the templates, etc., to do it the MediaWiki-way, and the rest of the community would have access to the new functionality. - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture uri: http://TheOpenSourceWay.org/wiki gpg: AD0E0C41
