Um... I don't mean that I'd like to alter the PHPWiki code to allow 
<verbatim> tags; my knowledge of PHP is minimal at best, and anyway, 
as Rob set this up, not me, I don't think I have access to that sort 
of thing anyway.

As far as I can tell, though, the <verbatim> tag is already supported 
by the Wiki; it functions as the <pre> tag does, except it also 
suppresses any special Wiki interaction with the enclosed text, so 
<verbatim> [Hi there] </verbatim> would produce the literal text "[Hi 
there]", instead of a link to the page entitled "Hi there".

So my question was, is there any reason why we'd want any Wiki 
interaction in there at all? If not, we can change <pre> to 
<verbatim> and thus eliminate the need for the ~s in front of the 
brackets.
