I am aware and tried with It's All text extension
(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4125) + using 
vim syntax file
(http://www.pmwiki.org/pmwiki/uploads/Cookbook/syntax-pmwiki.txt)

mentioned in Pywe-Discuss page (
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/Pywe-Discuss).

I believe that by having the above Firefox extension - which enables
one to use one's preferred editor (vim, emacs, notepad...:-) - the
effort could be put in providing (better) syntax files for them (eg.
the above one for vim is last updated on July 2nd 2004) 'cause ability
to write in one's beloved editor is very useful feature of the
wiki itself!


Sincerely,
Gour
