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]].

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.

* page locking
Wiki admins can lock pages so that only other admins can edit them.
ikiwiki can be configured to send you commit mails with diffs of changes
to selected pages.
+* [[Plugins]]
+
+ Plugins can be used to add additional features to ikiwiki. The interface is quite flexible, allowing plugins to register [[PreProcessorDirective]]s, hook into [[CGI]] mode, and more. Ikiwiki's backend RCS support is also pluggable, so support for new revision control systems can be added to ikiwiki.
