Limitações

- Authoring requires learning the unique syntax.
- Lacks standardization — no formal spec, just the MediaWiki implementation.
- Markdown has eroded wiki use cases for smaller projects.
PDF Limitações
- Editing is difficult — the format is optimized for display, not mutation.

- File sizes balloon quickly when embedding high-resolution images or fonts.
- Accessibility (screen readers) requires careful tagging that many PDFs skip.
- JavaScript support has historically been a malware vector.

Yes, to a high degree. Standard fonts, headings, lists, tables, images, hyperlinks and page structure transfer cleanly. Custom fonts substitute to the closest match if not embedded; obscure layout features unique to MEDIAWIKI (frames, legacy macros) may flatten to static content in the target format.
