If you want these, add the following to local.php:

$InlineReplacements['/\\[\\*(.*?)\\*\\]/'] = "<strong>\$1</strong>";
$InlineReplacements['/\\[\\/(.*?)\\/\\]/'] = "<em>\$1</em>";
$InlineReplacements['/\\[\\*\\/(.*?)\\/\\*\\]/'] = 
   "<em><strong>\$1</strong></em>";
$InlineReplacements['/\\[_(.*)_\\]/'] = "<u>\$1</u>";
$InlineReplacements['/\\[=\\]/'] = "<br>";

I've been wanting to come up with a section of the pmichaud.com site
where people can contribute customizations like these, but I think it
should be separate from the PmWiki group and I haven't figured out
what to call it.  Anyone have any suggestions?  O'Reilly would call
them "Hacks", others would use "Recipes", etc.  I just haven't found
the right name for the group yet.  :-|

The hardest part of any aspect of computers is figuring out what to
name things.  It's like naming your children--you know that you're
pretty much stuck with whatever you choose.
