This seems to store the edits in raw HTML and not translate it back into
wiki markup. This is the main problem with most wysiwyg wiki editors.
The only one I have seen to get close to a truly functioning editor is:
http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/KupuEditorAddOn. This editor
correctly handles the translations to and from wiki markup which is
necessary to keep the wiki functioning correctly.
