How about a book generated from the wiki markdown? I think for people who haven't written a book before, there's a conceptual gap where it would be handy to see visually 'if you write this markdown, this is the book that gets generated'

I guess the issue is that once you get beyond core markdown there are variations. Pandoc and LeanPub use different ways to indicate code highlighting and tables. There might be other variations as well. A demo would show me how to use these features in a portable way.

I think a demo would be useful if it provided examples of how to format tables, and code, and lists. For example, suppose I want to have a code block that is Ruby and another code block that is Objective-C. How would I do this in wbb?

I want to see what the generated HTML looks like

Just take a look at Addy Osmani's
