We're starting developer documentation for one of our projects, and I'd like to set it up as a hosted wiki.

There will be lots of code samples, and the WMD/Prettify combination used here on StackOverflow is the simplest way I've seen to enter structured text (with headings, etc.) combined with automatically formatted code blocks.

Does anyone know of an existing hosted wiki service that uses this editing toolset, so we don't have to write our own (at least not right away)?

Thanks

Many wiki engines are open source

Why not grab your favourite and add in the WMD editor?

Screwturn.eu is a nice C# wiki with a great extensibility model, and a great markup pipeline what should be simpl-ish to upgrade to WMD

Download v3 beta and look at /core/Formatter.cs and /core/FormattingPipeline.cs for the REGEX's to compose pages from WMD markdown

And /WebApplication/Editor.ascx for the editor custom control, which you can plug in WMD with some LH-RH code

Thanks- I'm looking for a hosted service on a subscription model. I'm not looking to customize and run a wiki on my own servers for now.

Check out Mindtouch's DekiWiki. They use fckeditor, I believe, which is pretty user friendly. There is a free hosted version (with limited extension features), and you can pay for very powerful version.

We use it for documentation internally and it is excellent.
