Emacs Wiki for Newbies

Wiki source

I would like to thank DamienElmes for his help.

Some questions that I had to answer when I started using EmacsWiki

Where to find documentation?

See the Emacs Wiki Page.

You can find useful information by actually reading the source.

How to configure it?

EmacsWiki is written in TheEmacsWiki. You will need some knowledge of GnuEmacs. You can find some help at TheEmacsWiki.

How to format information?

See the mark-up documentation. You can see examples such as the source of this page.

How do I edit the target of a link?

Two ways to do this:

Sometimes EmacsWiki doesn't produce valid HTML

The following seems to make it happier:

(setq require-final-newline t)

The pound sign (#) and square brackets ([ and ]) produce weird things

This is because those characters have special meanings in EmacsWiki. Right now, you should try and avoid them.

I want to link to the wiki source file automatically

Use something in the spirit of:

(concat "=" (emacs-wiki-page-name) "=")

RssSyndication support

I have developed RssForEmacsWiki.
