Sorry, I don't, but I wanted to make you aware that there are things similar 
to wikitext that are not necessarily used by wikis--you may want to consider 
those and how they're used in your research as well.

Now, can I remember some of the names?  Ok, it took me a little while, but 
look for RedCloth, BlueCloth, Textile--there are others.
