I will try some wiki -> docbook tools on my box, and see if one fits. As
an alternative, other wiki engines such as DocBookWiki [1] specialize
int that matter, but I guess it would have to be set up as an external
resource.
As an alternative, I might consider using AsciiDoc [2], which seems
pretty sweet.
