I ended up writing my own specifically to handle technical documents, and it 
works well, at least for me. I store the raw wiki text in flat files, and 
convert from raw to HTML immediately after editing. Bold is handled using 
*word*, and italic by _word_, pretty much like Usenet and email. I didn't 
implement numbered lists, but it shouldn't be hard to do.
