I feel rather too much of a beginner at the moment though I may well
do so in a while.  The only problem is that there doesn't really
appear to be 'core syntax' area to put it in really.

The existing wiki syntax area is good as a 'quick guide' like, for
example, "Quick reStructuredText" at:-
    http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickref.html
but there doesn't seem to be any sort of equivalent of the full
reStructuredText specification:-
    http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html
