I've patched up the wiki with some code that should produce better HTML. The bit that does formatting from the markup did not create paragraph tags, instead creating a bunch of line breaks, which is not good.
The only thing wiki users really need to know here is that a blank line should now start a new paragraph. Otherwise, all the text will stay in a single paragraph. Since most of you have been quite good about spacing paragraphs with blank lines anyway, there shouldn't be a huge difference to the appearance of pages.

I checked my changes to the console command reference today and I found that the new formatting had some bad effects on the paragraphs of that page.
For example, some command descriptions looked like this before the change:
----
+ignoreplayer/-ignoreplayer
+cloak/-cloak
All AIs ignore the presence of the player (but not evidence caused by him). Actions like shooting noisemakers and bumping into AIs do still alert them, but they don't attack.

Now it looks like this:
----
+ignoreplayer/-ignoreplayer +cloak/-cloak
All AIs ignore the presence of the player (but not evidence caused by him). Actions like shooting noisemakers and bumping into AIs do still alert them, but they don't attack.
----
The problem are the bold command names. Some commands have synonyms which should appear one below the other, but now I'm forced to put a blank line between them, which I find a bit ambiguous. It rather looks as if the first command is unknown and the explanation belongs only to the second. Also, any lists now look rather ugly (look at the lists of non-existent and potential commands at the bottom of the page) and need blank lines between each item, which makes them even uglier. Is there a way to at least reduce the height of blank lines a bit?
