Elle,

I don't know why wiki do not work properlly for you.

Another suggestion is to patch the digiKam handbook. It's not very
complicated. hanbook use docbook format:

http://www.docbook.org/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DocBook

It's a text file based on xml with section/subsection. The file is here :

http://websvn.kde.org/branches/extragear/kde3/graphics/doc/digikam/index.docbook?view=log

Why using docbook format and not another format like ODF ? because the
file content can be processed by script for the internationalization
process. docbook can be converted to others publishing format as PDF,
PS, RTF, ODF, etc.

http://www.digikam.org/drupal/docs

All huge technical documentations done in opensource use this format.
Another typical case is pro-editing as OReilly...

You can make a first try, post me a patch and i can fix and commit
your work on svn for inclusion.

Best
