Excellent! :-)

The following is an example of a simplistic program that converts its
input from wiki format to texi:

    (use stream-wiki)

    (write-stream (wiki->texi (port->stream)))

It should be noted that wiki->texi supports *a* *lot* of optional
parameters so the above example is, as I said, very simplistic.
Notably, the wiki extensions will be missing, so the parser will just
skip some tags (eg. “<br/>”).  If my example above is not enough for
what you want, let me know and I'll send more information.

Can you provide a simplistic example of how an egg would be documented
in the wiki using these tags and what the actual html produced would
be?

Thanks!
