# DESCRIPTION
`ikiwiki` is a wiki compiler. It builds static HTML pages for a wiki, from
-`source` in the [[Markdown]] language (or others), and writes it out to
+`source` in the [[ikiwiki/Markdown]] language (or others), and writes it out to
`destination`.
Note that most options can be shortened to single letters, and boolean
Specify a mode to chmod the wrapper to after creating it.
-* --notify, --no-notify
+* --wrappergroup group
- Enable email notification of commits. This should be used when running
- ikiwiki as a [[post-commit]] hook.
+ Specify what unix group the wrapper should be owned by. This can be
+ useful if the wrapper needs to be owned by a group other than the default.
+ For example, if a project has a repository with multiple committers with
+ access controlled by a group, it makes sense for the ikiwiki wrappers
+ to run setgid to that group.
-* --rcs=svn, --no-rcs
+* --rcs=svn|git|.., --no-rcs
- Enable or disable use of a revision control system.
+ Enable or disable use of a [[revision_control_system|rcs]].
- If you use svn, the `source` directory is assumed to be
- a [[Subversion]] working copy.
-
- If you use git, the `source` directory is assumed to be a clone of the
- [[git]] repository.
-
- If you use tla, the `source` directory is assumed to be a tla import.
-
- If you use mercurial, the `source` directory is assumed to be the
- [[mercurial]] repository.
+ The `source` directory will be assumed to be a working copy, or clone, or
+ whatever the revision control system you select uses.
In [[CGI]] mode, with a revision control system enabled, pages edited via
the web will be committed. Also, the [[RecentChanges]] link will be placed
No revision control is enabled by default.
-* --svnrepo /svn/wiki
-
- Specify the location of the svn repository for the wiki. This is required
- for using --notify with [[Subversion]].
-
* --svnpath trunk
Specify the path inside your svn repository where the wiki is located.
* --rss, --norss
If rss is set, ikiwiki will generate RSS feeds for pages that inline
- a [[blog]].
+ a [[ikiwiki/blog]].
* --atom, --noatom
If atom is set, ikiwiki will generate Atom feeds for pages that inline
- a [[blog]].
+ a [[ikiwiki/blog]].
* --pingurl URL
* --adminuser name
- Specifies a username of a user who has the powers of a wiki admin.
- Currently allows locking of any page; other powers may be added later.
- May be specified multiple times for multiple admins.
+ Specifies a username of a user (or, if openid is enabled, an openid)
+ who has the powers of a wiki admin. Currently allows locking of any page,
+ and banning of users; other powers may be added later. May be specified
+ multiple times for multiple admins.
+
+ For an openid user specify the full URL of the login, including "http://".
* --plugin name
using command-line switches, you will rarely need to use this, but it can be
useful for the odd option that lacks a command-line switch.
+# ENVIRONMENT
