3 ikiwiki - a wiki compiler
7 ikiwiki [options] source templates destination
11 `ikiwiki` is a wiki compiler. It builds static html pages for a wiki, from `source` in the [[MarkDown]] language, using the specified html `templates` and writes it out to `destination`.
15 Note that most options can be shortened to single letters.
19 The name of the wiki, default is "wiki".
23 Be vebose about what it's doing.
27 Force a rebuild of all pages.
31 Generate a [[wrapper]] binary that is hardcoded to do action specified by the other options, using the specified input files and `destination` directory.
33 The wrapper is designed to be safely made suid and be run by untrusted users, as a [[Subversion]] [[post-commit]] hook, or as a [[CGI]].
35 Note that the generated wrapper will ignore all command line parameters except for --params, which will make it print out the parameters it would run ikiwiki with.
39 Enable or disable use of [[subversion]]. If subversion is enabled, the `source` directory is assumed to be a working copy, and is automatically updated before building the wiki.
41 In [[CGI]] mode, with subversion enabled pages edited via the web will be committed to subversion. Also, the [[RecentChanges]] link will be placed on pages.
43 Subversion is enabled by default.
45 * --anonok, --noanonok
47 If anonok is set, it will allow anonymous web users, who have not signed in, to make changes to the wiki.
49 By default, anonymous users cannot edit the wiki.
53 Enable [[CGI]] mode. In cgi mode ikiwiki runs as a cgi script, and supports editing pages, signing in, registration, and displaying [[RecentChanges]].
55 To use ikiwiki as a [[CGI]] program you need to use --wrapper to generate a wrapper. The wrapper will generally need to run suid 6755 to the user who owns the `source` and `destination` directories.
57 * --url http://someurl/
59 Specifies the url to the wiki. This is a required parameter in [[CGI]] mode.
61 * --cgiurl http://someurl/ikiwiki.cgi
63 Specifies the url to the ikiwiki [[CGI]] script [[wrapper]]. Required when building the wiki for links to the cgi script to be generated.
65 * --historyurl http://svn.someurl/trunk/[[]]?root=wiki
67 Specifies the url to link to for page history browsing. In the url, "[[]]" is replaced with the page to browse. It's common to use [[ViewCVS]] for this.
