+ikiwiki is a wiki compiler. It converts a directory full of wiki pages
 into html pages suitable for publishing on a website. Unlike a traditional
 wiki, ikiwiki does not have its own means of storing page history, its own
 markup language, or support for editing pages online.

 [[Subversion]] also offers a way to let others edit pages on your wiki.
 Just configure subversion to let appropriate users (or everyone) commit to
 the wiki's repository. There are some things you should keep in mind about
 [[Security]] when allowing the world to edit your ikiwiki.
 
-ikiwiki supports pages using [[MarkDown]] as their markup language. Any
-page with a filename ending in ".mdwn" is converted from markdown to html

-ikiwiki also supports files of any other type, including raw html, text,
-images, etc. These are not converted to wiki pages, they are just copied
-unchanged by ikiwiki as it builds your wiki. So you can check in an image,

-ikiwiki also supports making one page that is a [[SubPage]] of another.

 [[TODO]] lists things that need to be added to ikiwiki before most people
 would consider it a full-fledged wiki.
