To be complete, it depends on the syntax. For some syntaxes we have implemented “serializers” (we call them Renderers), i.e. the ability to transform from an XWiki AST into an output syntax. The information is available here: http://rendering.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome#HSupportedSyntaxes In the table, whenever you see “output syntax” as ticked, it means XWiki can convert to that syntax from all other syntaxes. For example you can convert from, say, MediaWiki syntax to, say, XHTML 1.0. Or from Confluence syntax to Markdown syntax. It also means that when “output syntax” is ticked, it’s possible to use the WYSIWYG editor for that syntax. However there can be limitations, depending on what the syntax supports (there may be some HTML elements not supported by the syntax for example, in which case they’d be ignored). Thanks -Vincent
