wiki

I would like to setup a personal wiki in org-mode. So far, I have tried this two ways. My first attempt was using a single "Scientific Notebook.org" file. In this went all my notes - each with its own headline, date and tags (same format as a blog post). I then turned on org-velocity to quickly navigate the file. But this created two problems: first, I use a lot of math in my notes (LaTeX previews are one of the reasons I want to us org). But these take sooooo long to load, I can't images trying to open a file with several thousand entries (all filled with math!!) The other problem I have is

When I write papers or documentation it makes think using LaTeX or OpenOffice is overkill as I usually only need some markup elements (bold, headlines, lists, ...) . I'd like to write my documents using a wiki style markup as this is very efficient. For example: = Introduction = '''HTML''' is a markup language... In the end I'd like to simply convert it to PDF. (Cross-platform was nice too.) compiler.exe -pdf input.wiki output.pdf Is there a tool (or simple tool chain) to do this job? I'd personally like to not make use of LaTeX as a transformation step. There are tools doing this job

On a wiki-style website, what can I do to prevent or mitigate write-write conflicts while still allowing the site to run quickly and keeping the site easy to use? The problem I foresee is this: User A begins editing a file User B begins editing the file User A finishes editing the file User B finishes editing the file, accidentally overwriting all of User A's edits Here were some approaches I came up with: Have some sort of check-out / check-in / locking system (although I don't know how to prevent people from keeping a file checked out "too long", and I don't want users to be frustrated by

Guava中包含了Google的一些核心类库:比如集合，缓存，并发包，常用注解，字符串处理，I/O等等。这些工具类被谷歌的工程师们经常用到。 但是通过查阅文档不是一个有效的学习类库的方式。这儿, 我们尝试提供一写方便查阅的比较常用的Guava工具类。 基础工具： 更加舒适的使用java。 Using and avoiding null : null 可不能被含糊, 能引起一些莫名的错误。许多Guava工具拒绝null并且会快速失败，而不是盲目的接受null。 Preconditions : 非常容易的为你的方法做个先决测试。 Common object methods : 简单的实现Object方法，像 hashCode() and toString() . Ordering : Guava强大的比较类。 Throwables : 简化传播 ， 检查异常和错误。 Collections: Guava对JDK集合的扩展。Guava中用的比较多的地方 。 Immutable collections , 防御性编程，常量集合， 提高效率。 New collection types , 一些JDK Collect ion s中没有解决的 : multisets, multimaps, tables, 双向maps等 。 Powerful collection utilities , 一些

When using MediaWiki's markup language, the only thing that I hate is creating numbered lists. The only way I know to create a list is to do something like this: #Item1 #Item2 However, if I want to add spaces or some other text between those lines, the numbering gets lost. For example, the following will create text that has two number one items: #Item1 Somestuff #Item2 Is there any way around this, or should I just use bullet points instead? I noticed just now that the stackoverflow system does not allow numbering like this, you have to do it all manually. Like this: #Item1 #:Somestuff #Item2

Anyone know of an API (php preferable but I'd be interested in any language) for creating wiki-like data storage? How about any resources on rolling your own plaintext wiki? How do other plaintext wikis handle the format of the text file? I understand I can use Markdown or Textile for the formatting. But what I'm most interested in is how to approach the plaintext storage of multi-user edits. I'm writing a web application that is primarily database driven. I want at least one text field of this database to be in a wiki-like format. Specifically, this text can be edited by multiple users with
