-Currently implemented:
+Some of ikiwiki's features:
* [[Subversion]]
page with a filename ending in ".mdwn" is converted from markdown to html
by ikiwiki. Markdown understands text formatted as it would be in an email,
and is quite smart about converting it to html. The only additional markup
- provided by ikiwiki aside from regular markdown is the [[WikiLink]].
+ provided by ikiwiki aside from regular markdown is the [[WikiLink]] and
+ [[PreprocessorDirective]]
* support for other file types
matching a specified [[GlobList]] will be displayed as a weblog within
the blog page. And an RSS feed can be generated to follow the blog.
- Ikiwikit's own [[TODO]] and [[news]] pages are good examples of some of the flexible ways that this can be used.

* Fast compiler
* [[BackLinks]]
- Automatically included on pages. Rather faster than eg [[MoinMoin]] and always there to help with navigation.

* [[PageHistory]]
shown in the file to resolve the conflict, so if you're already familiar
with that there's no new commit marker syntax to learn.
+ For all the gory details of how ikiwiki handles this behind the scenes,
+ see [[commit-internals]].
+
* page locking
Wiki admins can lock pages so that only other admins can edit them.
ikiwiki can use the [[HyperEstraier]] search engine to add powerful
full text search capabilities to your wiki.
+* Commit mails
+
+ ikiwiki can be configured to send you commit mails with diffs of changes
+ to selected pages.
+
+* [[Plugins]]
+
+ A plugin system allows extending ikiwiki in arbitrary ways.
