Ikiwiki 3.10 description

Ikiwiki 3.10 offers you a very useful, easy-to-use and free open source wiki compiler which will allow you to quickly convert wiki pages into HTML pages suitable for publishing on a website. Ikiwiki stores pages and history in a revision control system such as Subversion or Git.

Major Features:

  1. Uses a real RCS:
    • Rather than implement its own system for storing page histories etc, ikiwiki uses a real Revision Control System. This isn't (just) because we're lazy, it's because a real RCS is a good thing to have, and there are advantages to using one that are not possible with a standard wiki.
    • Instead of editing pages in a stupid web form, you can use vim and commit changes via Subversion, git, or any of a number of other Revision Control Systems.
    • ikiwiki can be run from a post-commit hook to update your wiki immediately whenever you commit a change using the RCS.
    • Note that ikiwiki does not require a RCS to function. If you want to run a simple wiki without page history, it can do that too.
  2. A wiki compiler:
    • ikiwiki is a wiki compiler; it builds a static website for your wiki, and updates it as pages are edited. It is fast and smart about updating a wiki, it only builds pages that have changed (and tracks things like creation of new pages and links that can indirectly cause a page to need a rebuild)
  3. Supports many markup languages:
    • By default, pages in the wiki are written using the MarkDown format. Any page with a filename ending in ".mdwn" is converted from markdown to html by ikiwiki. Markdown understands text formatted as it would be in an email, and is quite smart about converting it to html. The only additional markup provided by ikiwiki on top of regular markdown is the WikiLink and the directive.
    • If you prefer to use some other markup language, ikiwiki allows others to easily be added by plugins. For example it also supports traditional WikiText formatted pages, pages written as pure HTML, or pages written in reStructuredText or Textile.
    • ikiwiki also supports files of any other type, including plain text, images, etc. These are not converted to wiki pages, they are just copied unchanged by ikiwiki as it builds your wiki. So you can check in an image, program, or other special file and link to it from your wiki pages.
  4. Blogging:
    • You can turn any page in the wiki into a blog. Pages matching a specified PageSpec will be displayed as a weblog within the blog page. And RSS or Atom feeds can be generated to follow the blog.
    • Ikiwiki's own TODO, news, and plugins pages are good examples of some of the flexible ways that this can be used. There is also an example blog set up that you can copy into your own wiki.
    • Ikiwiki can also aggregate external blogs, feeding them into the wiki. This can be used to create a Planet type site that aggregates interesting feeds.
    • You can also mix blogging with podcasting by dropping audio files where they will be picked up like blog posts. This will work for any files that you would care to syndicate.
  5. Valid html and css:
    • ikiwiki aims to produce valid XHTML 1.0. ikiwiki generates html using templates, and uses css, so you can change the look and layout of all pages in any way you would like.
  6. Plugins:
    • Plugins can be used to add additional features to ikiwiki. The interface is quite flexible, allowing plugins to implement additional markup languages, register directives, provide a RCS backend, hook into CGI mode, and much more. Most of ikiwiki's features are actually provided by plugins.
    • The standard language for ikiwiki plugins is perl, but ikiwiki also supports external plugins: Standalone programs that can be written in any language and communicate with ikiwiki using XML RPC.
  7. utf8:
    • After rather a lot of fiddling, we think that ikiwiki correctly and fully supports utf8 everywhere.
  8. Other features:
    • Tags: You can tag pages and use these tags in various ways. Tags will show up in the ways you'd expect, like at the bottom of pages, in blogs, and in RSS and Atom feeds.
    • SubPages: Arbitrarily deep hierarchies of pages with fairly simple and useful LinkingRules
    • BackLinks: Automatically included on pages. Rather faster than eg MoinMoin and always there to help with navigation.
    • Smart merging and conflict resolution in your web browser
    • Editing pages in a web browser: Nearly the definition of a wiki, although perhaps ikiwiki challenges how much of that web gunk a wiki really needs. These features are optional and can be enabled by enabling CGI and a Revision Control System.
    • User registration: Can optionally be configured to allow only registered users to edit pages.
    • Discussion pages: Thanks to subpages, every page can easily and automatically have a /Discussion subpage. By default, these links are included in the templates for each page
    • Edit controls: Wiki admins can lock pages so that only other admins can edit them. Or a wiki can be set up to allow anyone to edit Discussion pages, but only registered users to edit other pages. These are just two possibilities, since page edit controls can be changed via plugins.
