Add missing semicolon
MySQL: revert back proposed engine to InnoDB While fast, MyISAM has its own caveats wrt data integrity. Better promoting a safer alternative: an advanced user will know how and when to switch engine if he wants. Backed out changeset: 85de274bc763.
Updated How to use Etherpad Lite with MySQL (markdown)
harmonizing database name to etherpad_lite_db ; use "_", do not use "-"
if you use the option "charset": "utf8mb4" it is not needed to perform the MySql ALTER DATABASE and ALTER TABLE. If a person do not specify it, probably he doesn't need, so it is not needed to be documented here [imho]
charset utf8mb4 is required or etherpad-lite will save truncated records whenever a four-byte unicode character is in the pad, resulting in a crash.
Follow the principle of least permission, please.
Add Example MySQL Socket config

Updated How to use Etherpad Lite with MySQL (markdown => pod)
adding some ` to escape special character `-` in database name
etherpad lite crashes if given non-latin characters for pad names unless you set the charset of the database to be utf8
added note how to add the port (it's different for different drivers, sometimes added with ":", sometimes with ",", so it wasn't obvious)
