It's nearly possible with a simple text file and a decent editor but this rather limits the validity checking. I have a boat log that works this way (written by me for Dokuwiki) but, having used it for a while, it has some drawbacks. In particular the syntax for the entries, while quite simple, is just a bit too difficult to remember without looking at some sort of cheat sheet. A more structured data entry system would make it work much better.
Have you looked at the Sublime Text editor? I've come across this recently for Ansible and HTML/CSS and am blown away by it. There's a plugin for Dokuwiki syntax: https://github.com/sentience/DokuWiki
Ooh, that looks fun! It's got a Python API too. I'll take a good look, thank you.
As I use Dokuwiki for internal documentation, I'll be looking at this soon myself.
I use Dokuwiki for lots of things, many of which stretch the concept of a wiki somewhat! :-) I love Dokuwiki and have written several plugins, mostly so idiosyncartic that they're only of use to me, but I have published my RST (ReStructuredText) plugin.
