| | The basic function of TWiki is a Wiki (if that helps!) |
|

< | A Wiki is like a normal web site, except that you can edit the content in your browser

- "Wiki" is short for "wiki wiki", the Hawaiian for "Quick"
- The idea originates from Macintosh Hypercard, via Ward Cunningham
- In Ward's words, Wiki is "the simplest online database that could possibly work"

- An ordinary URL pasted into text will appear as a link - http://www.google.com
- You can also prettify URLs using square brackets:
|
|
<

-
-
-
[[http://www..google.com][google]] appears as google
|
>
> |

-
-
[[http://www.google.com/][Google]] appears as Google
|

- Use %SEARCH. This is an interface to a sophisticated search engine that embeds the results of the search in your page. See TWikiVariables for full details.
More formatting |
| |
- Attachments are simply files, in whatever format you want.
- TWiki recognises some file formats, notably image files (.gif)

| | Wiki Culture
Enough about mechanics; how is a wiki actually used ? Well, that's really up to you, but there are a number of tricks that the wiki community has developed for collaborative writing that work pretty well: |
| |
- A Wiki trick for grouping pages together
- Example: to group together a set of pages all relating to the weather:
- Create a page called 'CategoryWeather'
|
|
<
< |
-
- Put a SEARCH that contain the word 'CategoryWeather' into it
|
>
> |
-
- Put a SEARCH that contains the word 'CategoryWeather' into it
|
| |
-
-
-
%SEARCH{"CategoryWeather" nosearch="on" nosummary="on"}%
- Put the BumpyWord 'CategoryWeather' on all the pages relating to the weather
(usually at the bottom, below a horizontal bar)
