Subject: MediaWiki should allow <i> and <b> to be preserved rather than converting to '' and ''', respectively
From Shlomi Fish at http://cpanratings.perl.org/d/HTML-WikiConverter: "My only problem with this is that it converted Bolds and Italics to ''' and '' instead of <b> and <i>, which MediaWiki also support. I'd rather it had an option to use these kind of markups instead." This was found in version 0.23. -- David Iberri
In 0.30, MediaWiki addresses this with two new attributes, 'preserve_bold' and 'preserve_italic'. Enabled, they'll convert HTML like this: <ul> <li> <b>bold</b> <li> <strong>strong</strong> <li> <i>italic</i> <li> <em>emphasized</em> </ul> into MediaWiki markup like this: * <b>bold</b> * '''strong''' * <i>italic</i> * ''emphasized'' -- David Iberri
