Comment 5 for bug 1057987

To avoid scope-creep here (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-docs/+bug/1057987) I have mailed this additional feedback to <email address hidden> which might be a more appropriate target audience.

Perhaps an administrator of the Ubuntu Community Wiki could review the Themes made available to a wiki user against the various formatting options available at the wiki.

Useful test wiki pages are:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HelpOnFormatting
and
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HelpOnMoinWikiSyntax

The user accessible themes selected at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HelpOnUserPreferences?action=userprefs&sub=prefs
are:

classic, modern, modernized, modernized_cms, rightsidebar, ubununew, light (the default) and kubuntunew

ubuntunew cannot be applied for some reason

classic, modern, modernized, modernized_cms, rightsidebar and kubuntunew display:
italics, super/sub script and most other formats
(but _not_ underline _nor_ strike-through _nor_ colorized code aka Syntax Highlighting _nor_ smileys)

"light" theme
displays underline, strike-through, SyntaxHighlighting, smileys and most other formats
(but _not_ italics _nor_ super/sub script)

So although "light" it looks like the best compromise it must be possible to fix light (the default) so that all available formatting is correctly displayed.

(I am willing to invest time to figure out this wiki detail.)
