There's a wiki BNF at
http://dirkriehle.com/2008/01/09/an-xml-interchange-format-for-wiki-creole-10/
for an 'agreed' generlisation of wiki markup.
  I tried it with ANTLR, and even after a full day of reduction it is
still showing
errors and hundreds of warnings, so I gave up.

I'm 80% there with a Python wikka to docbook 5 transform.

regards
