* [[Subversion]]
Rather than implement its own system for storing page histories etc,
- ikiwiki simply uses subversion. (It's also possible to [[plugins/write]] support for other systems.)

Instead of editing pages in a stupid web form, you can use vim and commit
changes via svn. Or work disconnected using svk and push your changes out
provided by ikiwiki aside from regular markdown is the [[WikiLink]] and
[[PreprocessorDirective]]

* support for other file types
ikiwiki also supports files of any other type, including plain text,
Arbitrarily deep hierarchies of pages with fairly simple and useful [[SubPage/LinkingRules]]
-* [[blog]]s
+* [[blogging|blog]]
You can turn any page in the wiki into a [[blog]]. Pages matching a
specified [[GlobList]] will be displayed as a weblog within the blog
Ikiwiki's own [[TODO]], [[news]], and [[plugins]] pages are good examples
of some of the flexible ways that this can be used.
- Note that this also includes support for tag-based blogging.
+* [[tags]]
+
+ You can tag pages and use these tags in various ways.
* Fast compiler
* [[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.

+ supports utf8 everywhere.
