## [[Download]] and [[install]] ikiwiki.
+If you're using Debian or Ubuntu, ikiwiki is an `apt-get install ikiwiki` away.
+If you're not, see the [[download]] and [[install]] pages.

## Decide where your wiki's files will go.
As a wiki compiler, ikiwiki builds a wiki from files in a source directory,
$EDITOR index.mdwn
In the editor, you could start by entering a simple page like
-[[toggle id=page text="this one"]].
-[[toggleable id=page text="""
+[[!toggle id=page text="this one"]].
+[[!toggleable id=page text="""
Welcome to your new wiki.
All wikis are supposed to have a \[[SandBox]],
The new [[ikiwiki-makerepo]] command automates setting up a wiki in
revision control.

Once your wiki is checked in to the revision control system,
you should configure ikiwiki to use revision control. Edit your
ikiwiki.setup, and uncomment the lines for the revision control system
-you chose to use. Uncomment the block for the wrapper for your revision
+you chose to use. Be sure to set `svnrepo` to $REPOSITORY, if using
+subversion. Uncomment the block for the wrapper for your revision
control system, and configure the wrapper path in that block
appropriately (for Git, it should be `$REPOSITORY/hooks/post-update`).
