Comparison with wikipedia syntax

Wikipedia uses the Mediawiki syntax. DocJGenerator uses an XML-based syntax. However a lot of concepts handled by wikipedia exist in DocJGenerator. Note that if you really want to use a "full" Mediawiki syntax, you can define an article in full Mediawiki markup (see mediawiki syntax).
