Yep, chickadee uses the same backend, and manual-labor uses chickadee's CSS.

Indeed, I mentioned hyde because you can put it in dynamic serving mode and let 
it do the conversion automatically for you, while you preview the results in a 
web browser.  (I.e. hit reload and it will convert the wiki doc to HTML.)  As a 
downside, you have to include a spurious empty sexpr () at the beginning of the 
document, as expected by hyde, which has to be deleted when you upload.

Actually, when I want to do previews for wiki documents, I usually just use 
chickadee.  In other words you start a local chickadee server, then run 
`chicken-doc-admin -E filename` whenever your source changes.  The rendering 
engine differs between qwiki (multidoc) and chickadee (chicken-doc-html) but 
this is rarely an issue.  They both do use the same wiki parser (svnwiki-sxml) 
as well.
