Took a quick look, probably a closer one later on.

I'm glad to see that in the new wiki `= H1 =` produces `<h1>`, like it should.

This is the correct behaviour, because each webpage should contain at least one
level-one heading which describes the page. In the case of the wiki, this is
even more relevant becauseeach page is about one thing.

I understand that this might require some coding (the Wiki conversion tools
might need tweaking?), editing of pages etc. But this is important and besides,
most of our webpages do start with an =h1= and that should be rendered as <h1>.

Yup, the CSS [1] seems to work. I'll have to enhance a bit the h1, due to it's
more prominent role with the new wiki. :)

TableOfContents is now surrounded by a <div>. This gives us the power to
control it's appearance through CSS. Cool.

If we do enable my CSS bits, then we could encourage people (probably by
polishing the WikiEditing pages) to increase the quality of the wiki pages. For
example by explaining the benefits of structure (h3's always after h2's) etc.

If we want to increase the wiki's consistency, we could talk about enabling the
CardMacro feature of moin [2]. It will allow us to reuse pages as "templates",
just like wikipedia does.

This will help us decrease to a minimum the number of `{{{!html` and complex
table structures that appear in lots of pages. What do you guys think?
