It isn't a Wiki syntax, you either get to enter basic HTML or use a
WYSIWYG editor. Anyone can register at subversionary but I need to give
permission to edit content. I was overrun by spammers when it was a
Wiki so the current policy allows anyone to post a comment which I have
to approve, once someone posts something sensible I give them permission
to post comments unmoderated. If someone wanted to edit your
documentation I would give permission if they requested it by posting
their request as a comment.

It's your decision. Someone else might come up with a better offer but
I know of no other Subversion oriented sites.

An alternative is to supply pages to the Subversion site at
subversion.tigris.org in HTML as diffs against their site in their
repository. This would be laborious and it would also be difficult to
be sure how the pages would look until after they were published. It
would also make collaboration tricky.

This (http://drupal.org/node/21951) is how a book looks in Drupal, you
create pages and it links them together. I haven't used the book module
before but it looks simple enough. When you create a page you define
it's parent page and it's position within the list of pages at the same
level.

If you want to try it create an account on Subversionary and send me
your login name and I will set it up for you and give you the required
permissions.
