But that's not going to look too nice in a wiki, so I presumed that it
would need to be massaged (by script) into some other text format (media
wiki) , in which case it should probably match the look and feel of the
other pages. Since there are (almost) no other pages I didn't want to
end up defining the look of the page by fiat.

So if you have a format you'd like
how about an ASCII TEXT FILE
you know, those things we've been able to preserve without a
steaming pile of php for the past 50 years.
