I see, I missed that one. But....

But, I was looking for kinda the same funtionality as for
"Underline"/"Strike Through" Formatting. Where it "remembers" the
current Formatting / turns it off when selected again. With the custom
formats it just adds the tags one more time.

Seen this too, but only when installing / upgrading from older versions.
Done a lot of testing / customization lately ;)

Further more, being able to have different usernames for different
wikisites. As I se it, you can only have one username. (It might be
requested before)
