+Ikiwiki is a **wiki compiler**. It converts wiki pages into HTML pages
+suitable for publishing on a website. Ikiwiki stores pages and history in a

+There are many other [[features]], including support for
+[[blogging|ikiwiki/blog]], as well as a large array of [[plugins]].

 
 

-To use ikiwiki to set up a wiki, you will probably want to use it with a
-revision control system, such as [[Subversion]], for keeping track of past
-versions of pages. ikiwiki can run as a Subversion [[post-commit]] hook, so
-that each committed change to your wiki is immediatly compiled and
-published.
