Considering those requirements, I would strongly recommend PMWiki.org. I know a markdown extension exists for it, although last I knew it was incomplete, but that was some time ago.

It doesn?t do block quotes, it doesn?t do <urls>, and there is probably also a few more things it is missing. Plus I have to embed the markdown in (:markdown:) ? (:markdownend:), but you can set it so that the extension runs on all pages, then you don?t need that, but you lose WikiWord links. There is a 1.2, but I tried installing it, and it did not work for me. The change log though did not appear to have done much about the above -- it is based on the PHP Markdown, so I am not sure why it does not support the full markdown syntax.

Version 5, recently in beta, also has an installer, although it's pretty easy to install in the 4.7 stable branch. http://www.drupal.org/ http://www.drupal.org/project/Modules Here's the Markdown/Smartypants module: http://drupal.org/project/marksmarty Access control is pretty easy with this one: http://drupal.org/project/simple_access Joe -- Joe Chellman http://www.chellman.org/ http://www.chellman.org/pgp_key.txt

The support for markdown in pmwiki is kind of limited but used in a "suitable way" it works fine (although linking etc is best done using the pmwiki markup language). Markdown in drupal works just fine ... but if you want linking etc between articles, revision handling etc then pmwiki is a better choice. jem
