Implemented in core.

We need filtering before and after conversion to HTML.

Editors

New mforms editor element should support all types of formats.

Formats

Responsible for conversions and diffs.

Should use section titles instead of byte ranges.

Version & diffs

Diffs not part of wiki code anymore, instead handled by format plugins.

• some more capabilitites

Groups

Group mode can be used for emulation of one wiki per student mode.
