Under the web subclass, it can already be assumed that PHP 5+ is in use and that sessions are working.

Convert wikitext $text to HTML.
This is potentially error prone since many parser features require a complete installed MW database. The solution is to just not use those features when you write your messages. This appears to work well enough. Basic formatting and external links work just fine.
But in case a translator decides to throw in a "#ifexist" or internal link or whatever, this function is guarded to catch the attempted DB access and to present some fallback text.
