PmWiki is a wiki-based system for collaborative creation and maintenance of websites.
PmWiki pages look and act like normal web pages, except they have an "Edit" link that makes it easy to modify existing pages and add new pages into the website, using basic editing rules. You do not need to know or use any HTML or CSS. Page editing can be left open to the public or restricted to small groups of authors.
Key PmWiki Features
Custom look-and-feel: A site administrator can quickly change the appearance and functions of a PmWiki site by using different
skins and HTML templates. If you can't find an appropriate skin
already made, you can easily modify one or create your own.
Access control: PmWiki password protection can be applied to an entire site, to groups of pages, or to individual pages. Password protection controls who can read pages, edit pages, and upload attachments. PmWiki's access control system is completely self-contained, but it can also work in conjunction with existing password databases, such as
.htaccess, LDAP servers, and MySQL databases.
Customization and plugin architecture: One principle of the
PmWikiPhilosophy is to only include essential features in the core engine, but make it easy for administrators to customize and add new markup. Hundreds of features are already available by using extensions (called "recipes") that are available from the PmWiki
Cookbook.
PmWiki is written in PHP and distributed under the General Public License. It is designed to be simple to install, customize, and maintain for a variety of applications. This site is running pmwiki-2.2.11.

A WikiWord is a set of two or more words run together, where the first letter of each word is capitalized. This syntax is also sometimes referred to as "mixed case" or "camel case". Other descriptions of WikiWords are available from Wiki:WikiWord and Wikipedia:WikiWord.
Usage as page titles
WikiWords are used as page titles in a wiki-based system.
Usage as links
In some wikis (depending on the configuration of PmWiki), a valid link can be created by writing it as WikiWord. In such PmWiki installations, WikiWords surrounded by [=...=] or preceded by a backquote (`) are not turned into links:
LikeThis compared to `LikeThis or even [=LikeThis=] |
LikeThis compared to LikeThis or even LikeThis
|
See Links for information about PmWiki's rules for forming links and forming page titles.
Enabling WikiWord links
WikiWord links are disabled by default since Pmwiki version 2.1 beta2. To enable WikiWord links you need to set in config.php
$LinkWikiWords = 1;
WikiWord links to non-existent pages without decoration
If you want to display links to non-existent pages without decoration, place the following lines in pub/css/local.css:
span.wikiword a.createlink { display:none; }
span.wikiword a.createlinktext { border-bottom:none; text-decoration:none; color:inherit; }
Finding WikiWord links
If you upgraded from an earlier version and want to convert WikiWord links to standard links, the following will help to find those WikiWord links easier by highlighting them. Set in config.php:
$HTMLStylesFmt['wikiword'] = "span.wikiword { background:yellow; }";
Disabling certain WikiWords links
The variable $WikiWordCount controls WikiWord conversion on a per word basis.
