Thanks Nicolas.
I already am using everything mediawiki-related from ELPA, and my google
search for 'org-mode & mediawiki' only showed me what I already have, so
I think I've reached the end of the road there, unfortunately.
But with regard to moving forward with my bullet-points -
1. If the links are exported as [Betel nut] then under mediawiki they
could have the extra '[' and ']' placed by using 'global replace'. This
works in my test cases.
2. If this is used [Marijuana!Cannabis] it is possible to use 'global
replace' to change '!' to '|' and works very well. Then you can use (1).
Both of these solutions work well, although you do have to do a bit more
work on a mediawiki buffer, but its all a lot better than trying to
build a mediawiki table for the front page.
Thanks
Sharon.
