Oh.  There are two reasonable approaches here:

1.  Continue to maintain and edit the pages using Confluence's markup
    codes, and PmWiki simply uses those codes in addition to (or instead
    of) its own markups.

2.  Have a conversion tool that automatically reformats pages
    given in Confluence markup sequences to the PmWiki equivalents.

Which is your preference?
