Use cut and paste of plain ascii text into your wiki page for now.

Its not that bizarre; is easier than html, actually, but much simpler
and offers much less formatting. But the benefits of wiki can never be 
equalled
by html, so there's a tradeoff. Read the docs about wiki and ones written by 
the authors
of the wiki software we are using, phpwiki. They say that the admin can 
authorize using html
code but recommends against it for a variety of reasons. Better to 
concentrate on building content
in the wiki than to worry about giving it an html appearance. I will ask the 
ibiblio admins what
they think about using html code and if they say its OK I will authorize the 
use of it.
So first, RTFM or just read the online wiki docs and users guides. Start at 
wikipedia then look at
phpwiki docs. wikipedia uses some other software scripting.

It won't work until it is authorized, I will inquire about it next week.
