Water. Written by Polly Jean Harvey
water
walking on
water
for years
taking it into my head
living by the right lines
reading what the very man said
water
walking on
water
neighing on eleven years
taking it into my head
mary mary drop me softly
i've been reading what your very man said
neighing on eleven years
taking it into my head
leave my clothes on the beach
i'm walking down into the sea
prove it to me
now the water to my ankles
now the water to my knees
think of him all waxy wings
melted down into the sea
mary mary what your man said
is washing in all over my head
mary mary hold on tightly
over water under the sea
Listen to the song.

I installed Mediawiki today. It's...different.
Wikipedia is an excellent web site that functions as an encyclopedia that's peer reviewed by everyone on the world wide web. It has a markup language that's not HTML, which up until now I thought was the world wide standard for putting text on the www for end users. I guess I'm wrong.
Mediawiki uses it's own markup language for formatting text, which the backend translates into vaild XHTML so your web browser can display it properly. Personally, I have
a lot of experience with HTML and a little less with XHTML. I memorized the important parts and used it to publish my own writing on the web and get jobs publishing other people's. It isn't that difficult. Yet I have found a lot of people who think it is, which is why I believe the wiki media foundation invented their own markup language.
But I can't help asking, is this markup really that different than HTML? Is it really less complicated?
