 //Try out all these techniques below in the [[playground:playground]].//
+What WRAP does is essentially sneaking in some HTML functionality (and as you might also see, following HTML syntax) for a few things that aren't easy in a [[wp>lightweight markup language]] (LML). This kind of thing is a common feature of wikis and related systems. HTML is, for sure, more complex and less straightforward than a LML, but much much richer in what it can do. So many wiki systems allow embedding of HTML in one way or another.
+It's part of the same challenge that people have been struggling with for decades. How do you give people control over what's in a document and how it appears, without making it too difficult to write, edit, or code? Some people these days say AI is the way to go — personally I'm not so sure; I prefer the idea of people supporting each other to learn the skills they need, in a learning commons ^_^

-Just taking a couple of examples from the first topic [[comg:commoning]] in the first topic group [[gt:community]] & culture, there are several uses of the `<WRAP>` feature. We've used it in every page; this is just the first one that comes to hand.

+There are many many more examples on almost every topic page. You get the general idea — you can always look at the lightweight markup language on any page that you have permission to edit.
