More wiki formatting for Forums

CurtB as user1's picture

At Chris Watkins's urging, I have dug around and found ways to add more MediaWiki-style formatting capabilities to the Appropedia forums. Find out more at the new help page.

Still missing: the "nowiki" directive, to turn off formatting. It's trickier than it sounds!
