small update

[Tim Pritlove]

Hi,

I would be most interested in a flexible way to exchange outlines with 
Wiki pages. As most wikis do not share exactly the same syntax, this 
should be highly configurable. Most important in my point of view is 
MediaWiki (the Wikipedia software which shares most syntax elements 
with UseMod).

It regularly create outlines with OO and later paste them into a wiki. 
Sometimes I want to reintegrate and collaboratively edited outline back 
to OO. Having an import function would be a real hit!

However. Export is most important. So an outline should be exportable as

* first level
** second level
** second level
*** third level
* first level again

or using the "#" character creating a numbered list. The important part 
is that one list character (*#) is added per level.

Other Wikis (e.g. Twiki) might expect something like

* first level
   * second level
   * second level
     * third level
* first level again

This time the list character (*#) is included once but the indentation 
is important (here it is two spaces per level).

But please consider a wiki import function as well. This would be more 
than great.

Greetings
Tim
