Bug: Unnecessary HTML in the default install

There's a noticeable amount of the initial documentation and default pages that uses HTML instead of TWikiShorthand. It's not a serious problem. The TWikiShorthand is frequently shorter and easier to read (and less confusing to non-technical users), as well as better indicating the abilities of twiki if it's own documentation isn't full of html.

Test case

 Main.TWikiUsers <a href=#A>A</a> <a href=#B>B</a> <a href=#C>C</a> <a href=#D>D</a> <a href=#E>E</a> <a href=#F>F</a> <a href=#G>G</a> <a href=#H>H</a> <a href=#I>I</a> <a href=#J>J</a> <a href=#K>K</a> <a href=#L>L</a> <a href=#M>M</a> <a href=#N>N</a> <a href=#O>O</a> <a href=#P>P</a> <a href=#Q>Q</a> <a href=#R>R</a> <a href=#S>S</a> <a href=#T>T</a> <a href=#U>U</a> <a href=#V>V</a> <a href=#W>W</a> <a href=#X>X</a> <a href=#Y>Y</a> <a href=#Z>Z</a> 
Could be:
 [[#A][A]] [[#B][B]] [[#C][C]] [[#D][D]] [[#E][E]] [[#F][F]] [[#G][G]] [[#H][H]] [[#I][I]] [[#J][J]] [[#K][K]] [[#L][L]] [[#M][M]] [[#N][N]] [[#O][O]] [[#P][P]] [[#Q][Q]] [[#R][R]] [[#S][S]] [[#T][T]] [[#U][U]] [[#V][V]] [[#W][W]] [[#X][X]] [[#Y][Y]] [[#Z][Z]] 

This just happens to be the case I fixed first locally. There's also a wide usage of <b> rather than

*text*
, etc.

If anyone other than me cares about this, I'll submit appropriate patches.

Fix record

I changed the anchor links in the TWikiUsers topic (for distribution). Reopen this bug if you have other suggestions.
