Wiki markup is a sort of shorthand for more complicated <abbr title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</abbr> markup designed to create nicely formatted web documents. Although in the beginning wiki markup simplified the process of creating nicely formatted content, that shorthand can get increasingly complex in order to produce complicated layout and content. The extension of the markup system over time to include a template subsystem and macros inevitably leads to a tension between ease of use, and power. This tension was one of the primary factors that the Wikimedia Foundation cited as an impediment to new content collaborators for the Wikipedia. <ref>https://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/March_2011_Update</ref><ref>http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Editor_Trends_Study</ref> <ref>See this October 2013 article in the MIT Technology Review http://www.technologyreview.com/featuredstory/520446/the-decline-of-wikipedia</ref>. A visual editor was deemed nearly impossible after many early attempts failed, but with the advent of Node.js technology, it became an idea that was plausible again.
