Individual dialects and subdialects

gollark: Why what?
gollark: But I have two different roughly-equivalent-right-now implementations, a client-rendered and server-rendered one.
gollark: So far I've managed revision history (but that needs rewriting because the database is structured oddly), formatting (Markdown), crosslinks, but *not* search or tags or embedding capability.
gollark: Yes, which is what I am doing, see, but it's actually quite hard.
gollark: grep can only do exact and regex matching.
