wiki

I know about Fossil but are there any alternatives? Something small and easy to install/configure. I know there are quite a few git-based wikis such as git-wiki , WiGit and gitit . A simple google search will bring up many others, I'm sure. I also know of some git-based bug trackers such as ticgit which basically lets you keep your tickets in a separate branch of a git repository. There's also DisTract . But I'm not aware of anything else aside from Fossil that really tries to do what it does in one combined tool. I'm curious what your experiences with Fossil have been. It's one of those

For a custom wiki django-wakawaka , i want to be able to add a WYSIWYG support. TinyMCE is obviously the most popular plugin, used even by Wordpress. But CK-editor seems more feature full. Those who have used either of these or both, which is better and why. Are there some better packages, that I am missing? Is there something that I am missing when I conclude CKeditor is better, by going through them (because it is not as widely used). I want to use it with django and jquery, with multiple instances of WYSIWYG widget per page. Does one offer advantage over the other. I spent some time

If I fork repository joe/foo , and it has a Wiki, I won't get the wiki. Right now I'm just interested in forking the wiki to add pages to it. Is that possible without forking the repository? If not, is it possible at all? Matt S. You can't fork it directly on GitHub , but you can get Git access to it by going into the Git access tab of the wiki and you should be able to fork it on your local machine and edit it as much as you want (and even get updates to it!) You are able to just clone a Wiki from a repo now. You can find a tab called Git Access under Wiki tab of a repo. But you still can not

When designing a wiki application, what things should I take into consideration? So far I have: revisions parsing some sort of markup text keeping track of links in wikis, and pages that link to other pages. related wikis i.e. wikis are related to others. What else goes into building a Wiki? The Matt If it's helpful, here is the database schema for Wikipedia (actually MediaWiki, the engine behind Wikipedia): http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/41/Mediawiki-database-schema.png? I have done a lot of research and work with wikis over the last several years, for my own use and to

I've been tasked with setting up a wiki for our developers to share project information (Server IPs, Interface Documentation, Architecture Diagrams, etc). My manager has suggested Deki and I've also heard of MediaWiki and Twiki. One project here uses Trac but we don't need it's SVN capabilities and we'd like to have a WYSIWYG editor if possible. We also want to host this wiki locally. I couldn't find many web resources comparing the various wiki platforms and previous stack overflow questions haven't really addressed the question directly. What's the best wiki platform? What have used in the

I'm writing a wiki page on GitHub, and I'm using Markdown. My problem is that I'm putting a large image (this image is in its own repository) and I need resize it. I have tried different solutions, but they do not work: ![image](http://url.to/image.png "Title" {width=40px height=400px})   [[http://url.to/image.png = 250x]] Is there a way to get it? It is preferable without HTML. alciregi Updated: Code (external/internal):  Code (internal/external for sizing ): <img src=

When you link to a PDF file using: [download this](file.pdf) it downloads the pdf file. I have an excel workbook that I'd like to allow someone to download using: [download this](file.xlsx) When I click it, it takes me to create a new page in the wiki. Is there any markdown syntax I can add that identifies the link as something to download? If I have to, I can save the excel workbook as a PDF, but it's not going to be pretty. Thank you! First, try making a files subdirectory in your wiki, and putting your files in there. I tried using an html anchor tag <a href="files/file.csv" download="file

I downloaded wikipedia dump and now want to remove the wikipedia markup in the contents of each page. I tried writing regular expressions but they are too many to handle. I found a python library but I need a java library because, I want to integrate into my code. Thank you. Do it in two steps: let some existing tool convert the MediaWiki mark-up into plain HTML; convert the plain HTML into text. The following demo: import net.java.textilej.parser.MarkupParser; import net.java.textilej.parser.builder.HtmlDocumentBuilder; import net.java.textilej.parser.markup.mediawiki.MediaWikiDialect; import

I'm building a website that requires very basic markup capabilities. I can't use any 3rd party plugins, so I just need a simple way to convert markup to HTML. I might have a total of 3 tags that I'll allow. What is the best way to convert ==Heading== to <h2>Heading</h2> , or --bold-- to <b>bold</b> ? Can this be done simply with Regex, or does somebody have a simple function? I'm writing this in C#, but examples from other languages would probably work. Follow up: This is such a small part of my website that I liked the simplicity of using a simple Regex replace. I made this work in C# with
