If you check the mediawiki bundle out from the subversion repository (look up bundles in the manual), there is now a mediawiki language grammar.
Thanks Jacob. I'm not that skilled to manage subversion, so I justinstalled the bundle manually. Works fine, nice job indeed. The only thing I miss is a "Preview" button, to see the result when working off-line.
It's not really possible to do a preview button for mediawiki. The "parser" is a few thousand lines of ugly PHP script which is completely tied into the rest of the program, not to mention that we need to do things such as template expansion, etc. which can completely change the appearance of text on the page, because templates can include tags which style the text between them, etc.
So, if you want a preview when working offline, pretty much the only solution is to clone the mediawiki site you're editing :p. I'm working on making some slick solutions when you're *online* though.
