Hi,
I know iframes are generally frowned upon, but ....
Could this be handled by a floating div (normally hidden) containing an iframe which loads the dokuwiki syntax page(1) in what amounts to a cut down template - just the "tpl_content()" nothing else. Much of the default design.css is based in ems(2), controlling the font-size will scale the page some. The advantage of doing something like this is much of what is required is already in existence and the syntax data can be supplied from cache.
(1) It would be necessary to disable any links - we're aren't actually using a separate browser window, clicking a link would mean a page replacing the page under edit, which is extremely undesirable.
(2) Might be worthwhile to change any of the existing px measurements in design.css into ems.
Perhaps if the whole lot was controlled by js - can js be used to load remote data onto a page? If so some js could manage links and the syntax page could be broken up into smaller chunks. But then that starts to get more complex again....
