I have to reformat a bunch of texts into the Dokuwiki syntax, which is basically a version of Markdown. I'm wondering what the smartest way would be to do that using BBedit. Thanks for your suggestions.

Here is a sample of the Dokuwiki syntax: https://www.dokuwiki.org/cheatsheet

FORMATTING
`bold`	bold
`//italic//`	italic
`__underline__`	underline
`''monospace''` (single quotes)	`monospace`
`//__''all together''__//`	*`all together`*
`<sup>sup</sup>` and `<sub>sub</sub>`	^sup and _sub
`<del>delete text</del>`	~~delete text~~
`force\\ newline`	force newline
LINKS
`[[http://www.google.com\|Google]]`	Google
`[[mailto:f...@example.com\|Mr. Foo]]`	Mr. Foo
`[[wiki:Syntax\|Go to the syntax page]]`	Go to the syntax page
`[[wiki:Syntax#anchor\|Link to anchor]]`	Link to anchor
`[[doku>interwiki\|Interwiki link]]`	Interwiki link

Well, "in BBEdit", I'd use a keyboard and get typing. ;)

But, here's how I would do it:

I'm assuming that it's not required you do it by hand using BBEdit.

I didn't realize Pandoc supported Dokuwiki--thanks for the heads up.
