This could be useful to the Chinese-literate people here. :)

I use (defun emacs-wiki-markup-word ()) to squelch all the bad markup I’m getting lately.
I suspect that URLs need to be verbatim; stray equal signs and
underscores can be their undoing! Maybe I should just blank out the

Chris Beggy writes in with another tip
(thanks!). Chris thinks that Magicpoint is an
excellent PowerPoint replacement. I like Magicpoint’s text-based
presentation files and its nice gallery of styles I can choose, but
I’m thinking of going for prosper+latex instead. I hear that prosper
has pretty nice output.
On debian-user@lists.debian.org, David Z Maze thinks Prosper is great
for making PDF presentations from LaTeX. xpdf -fullscreen to actually run the slides.
