-What WRAP is doing is essentially importing 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. +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).
