AFAIK it's not documented anywhere (unless it's been recently added --
I haven't looked yet).  Only two fields are mandatory:

    newline=
    text=

where newline= is the character sequence to be used to separate lines
in the text= field.  Any unique character sequence will work for newline,
it doesn't have to be PmWiki's default.

It would be very possible for us to update the pmwiki code so that any 
raw text files appearing in the wiki.d/ directory are treated directly as
markup text.  They'd then be converted into the PmWiki standard page
file format the next time the page is updated.
