[pmwiki-users] PmWiki page editing is programming! ...a friendly flame/gripe/complaint

Although basic WikiPage editing isn't hard, putting a paragraph or 
header or bullet point or hyperlink on a page, to do anything 
interesting with PmWiki, more and more it seems like The Edit Page has 
become an programmer's IDE and PmWiki a compiler and a language which 
one must write code in!

May of the directives (source code) aren't even specific to the copy, 
they pertain more to the page's presentation or function, and rightly 
belong -- not in the body of the page's copy, but in a special "head" 
area for PmSourceCode things that most WikiUsers would *rather* *not* 
*see* (but could if s/he wanted!).

What can be done to shield the average writer from the 
increased/increasing complexity of PmWiki programming?
