http://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/IncludeUpload
and
http://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/EnableHTML

The second one is more limited, but also safer. You give it a list of 
HTML codes to pass through. The first one, I'm not sure if it'll pass 
through something dangerous or not (I trust the programmer, but I don't 
see anywhere if this was a quickie utility for her own site, or 
something more robust.)
