Why do you use wiki markup if you're not writing to a wiki?
That's what LaTex is for.
You have a plain-text file with wiki markup. You want stuff bolded.
Plain text doesn't have 'bold'. You'll need to turn it into a format
that can then create a pdf or ps file. If you know how to write raw ps,
great. Otherwise, I'd suggest you write a script to turn your wiki
stuff into LaTex then run latex to make the dvi, then turn that into
whatever you want.
