The Devuan wiki has been through a rather turbulent history, which is now
my job to sort out.

Mostly due to several different wiki systems being used in the past.
Using their own bespoke markup language.

There's sooo many of them. People complained about that, then created
CommonMark to be the common one, then they went off and created yet
another one.

CommonMark is at least good enough, and very similar to the common
Markdown that is often used in .md files. CommonMark is what I'll be
using going forward. https://nyaw.wiki.devuan.org/index.HTML is the
current result of converting the two old bespoke markup languages, from
the last two Devuan wiki's, into CommonMark. Then rendering CommonMark
as HTML5 so the web browsers can read it.
