 This tutorial will walk you through setting up a wiki with ikiwiki.
 
-1. [[Download]] and [[install]] ikiwiki.
+[[!toc ]]
 
-2. Decide where your wiki's files will go.
+## [[Download]] and [[install]] ikiwiki.
 
-   As a wiki compiler, ikiwiki builds a wiki from files in a source directory,
-   and outputs the files to a destination directory.  If you keep your wiki in
-   a version control system, the source directory will contain a working copy
-   checked out from the version control system.
+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.
 
-   For the purposes of this tutorial, we'll set shell variables
-   for these locations, and use those variables in the commands that follow.
+## Quick start
 
-			SRCDIR=~/wikiwc
-			DESTDIR=~/public_html/wiki/
+If you'd like to set up a wiki now, and learn more later, and you have
+ikiwiki 2.60 or better installed, just run this command and answer a couple
+of questions.
 
-   Note that ikiwiki owns the working copy directory; do not perform your own
-   edits in ikiwiki's working copy.
+	% ikiwiki -setup /etc/ikiwiki/auto.setup
+	What will the wiki be named? mywiki
+	What revision control system to use? git
+	What wiki user (or openid) will be wiki admin? joey
 
-3. Create the beginnings of your wiki.
+Wait for it to tell you an url for your new wiki.. Done!
 
-   This will create a simple main page for the wiki.
+(If the CGI doesn't seem to let you edit pages, you might need to
+[[configure_apache|tips/apache_cgi]] or [[configure_lighttpd|tips/lighttpd_cgi]].)
 
-   			mkdir $SRCDIR
-			cd $SRCDIR
-			$EDITOR index.mdwn
+## Decide where your wiki's files will go.
 
-   In the editor, you could start by entering a simple page like 
-   [[toggle id=page text="this one"]].
-   
-   [[toggleable id=page text="""
-   			Welcome to your new wiki.
-	   		All wikis are supposed to have a [[SandBox]],
-	   		so this one does too.

+a version control system, the source directory will contain a working copy
+checked out from the version control system.
 
-   Note that several [[standard_wiki_pages|basewiki]] will be added to your
-   wiki, from files in `/usr/share/ikiwiki/basewiki/`, so your wiki will
-   automatically get a [[SandBox]], and some other useful pages.
+For the purposes of this tutorial, we'll set shell variables
+for these locations, and use those variables in the commands that follow.
 
-4. Build your wiki for the first time.
+	SRCDIR=~/wikiwc
+	DESTDIR=~/public_html/wiki/
 
-			ikiwiki --verbose $SRCDIR $DESTDIR --url=http://example.org/~you/wiki/
+Note that ikiwiki owns the working copy directory; do not perform your own
+edits in ikiwiki's working copy.
 
-   Replace the url with the real url to your wiki. You should now
-   be able to visit the url and see your wiki.
+## Create the beginnings of your wiki.
 
-5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 as desired, editing or adding pages and rebuilding
-   the wiki. 
-   
-   To quickly get started on a common task like blogging with ikiwiki, you
-   can copy in files from the [[examples]]. The examples are located in
-   `doc/examples/` in the ikiwiki source package.
+This will create a simple main page for the wiki.
 
-   You can play around with other ikiwiki parameters such as `--wikiname`
-   and `--rebuild` too. Get comfortable with its command line (see
-   [[usage]]).
+	mkdir $SRCDIR
+	cd $SRCDIR
+	$EDITOR index.mdwn
 
-6. By now you should be getting tired of typing in all the command line
-   options each time you change something in your wiki's setup. Time to
-   introduce setup files.
-   
-   A sample setup file is [[ikiwiki.setup]]. Download it (or copy it from
-   `doc/ikiwiki.setup` in the ikiwiki sources), and edit it. Note that this
-   file should *not* be put in your wiki's directory with the rest of the
-   files. A good place to put it is in a ~/.ikiwiki/ subdirectory.
+In the editor, you could start by entering a simple page like
+[[!toggle id=page text="this one"]].
+[[!toggleable id=page text="""
+	Welcome to your new wiki.
+
+	All wikis are supposed to have a \[[SandBox]],
+	so this one does too.
+
+   	----

+	This wiki is powered by [ikiwiki](http://ikiwiki.info).
+"""]]
    
-   Most of the options, like `wikiname` in the setup file are the same as
-   ikiwiki's command line options (documented in [[usage]]. `srcdir` and
-   `destdir` are the two directories you specify when running ikiwiki by
-   hand. Make sure that these are pointing to the right directories, and
-   read through and configure the rest of the file to your liking.
+See [[ikiwiki/formatting]] for details about the markup language.
+
+Note that several [[standard_wiki_pages|basewiki]] will be added to your
+wiki, from files in `/usr/share/ikiwiki/basewiki/`, so your wiki will
+automatically get a [[SandBox]], and some other useful pages.
 
-   When you're satisfied, run `ikiwiki --setup ikiwiki.setup`, and it
-   will set everything up.
+## Build your wiki for the first time.
 
-7. Turn on additional features.
+	ikiwiki --verbose $SRCDIR $DESTDIR --url=http://example.org/~you/wiki/
 
-   Now you have a basic wiki with a configuration file. Time to experiment
-   with ikiwiki's many features. 
+Replace the url with the real url to your wiki. You should now
+be able to visit the url and see your wiki.
+
+## Add content to your wiki.
+
+Continue editing or adding pages and rebuilding the wiki.
    
-   Let's first enable a key wiki feature and set up [[CGI]] to allow
-   editing the wiki from the web. Just edit ikiwiki.setup, uncomment the
-   block for the cgi wrapper, make sure the filename for the cgi wrapper
-   is ok, run `ikiwiki --setup ikiwiki.setup`, and you're done!

+You can experiment with other ikiwiki parameters such as `--wikiname`
+and `--rebuild` too. Get comfortable with its command line (see
+[[usage]]).
+
+## Add a setup file.
 
-   There are lots of other configuration options in ikiwiki.setup that you
-   can uncomment, configure, and enable by re-running

-   [[plugins]]..
+By now you should be getting tired of typing in all the command line
+options each time you change something in your wiki's setup. Time to

-8. Put your wiki in revision control.
+To generate a setup file, use `ikiwiki --dumpsetup`. You can pass
+all the options have you been including at the command line, and they
+will be stored in the setup file.
 
-   At this point you might want to check your wiki in to a revision control
-   system you can get history of past changes and revert edits. Depending
-   on the revision control system you choose, the way this is done varies.
+	ikiwiki $SRCDIR $DESTDIR --url=http://example.org/~you/wiki/ --dumpsetup ikiwiki.setup
+
+Note that this file should *not* be put in your wiki's directory with
+the rest of the files. A good place to put it is in a ~/.ikiwiki/
+subdirectory.
    
-   There's little that's ikiwiki specific about these instructions; this is
-   just how you put a directory under revision control using the various
-   systems that ikiwiki supports. Note that the .ikiwiki subdirectory is
-   where ikiwiki keeps its state, and should be preserved, but not checked
-   into revision control.

-	When using Git, you probably want to set up two repositories, of which
-	one should be bare (meaning that it does not have a working tree
-	checked out). We call the bare repository the "repository" and the
-	other will be the "srcdir" (which `ikiwiki` uses to compile the wiki).
-	There are [other
-	ways](http://blog.madduck.net/vcs/2007.07.11_publishing-git-repositories)
-	to do the following, but this might be easiest:
-
-			REPOSITORY=~/wiki.git
-			GIT_DIR=$REPOSITORY git --bare init --shared
-			cd $SRCDIR
-			git init
-			echo /.ikiwiki > .gitignore
-			git add .
-			git commit -m "initial commit"
-			git remote add origin $REPOSITORY
-			git config branch.master.merge refs/heads/master
-			git push --all
-
-	It is **paramount** that you **never** push to the Git repository in
-	`$SRCDIR` ([this FAQ entry explains
-	why](http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitFaq#head-b6a3d85f677763313159eb39f7dbf4579d4ee28b)).
-	Instead, if you want to work on the wiki from a remote machine, clone
-	`$REPOSITORY`, using either the `git` transport (if available), or
-	`ssh`.
-
-	If at any point you commit changes in `$SRCDIR`, make sure to `git
-	push` them to the `$REPOSITORY`.
-
-	Finally, see [[Git_pitfalls]] if you experience problems.

-9. Configure ikiwiki to use 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. 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`).
-
-   Once it's all set up, run `ikiwiki --setup ikiwiki.setup` once more.
-   Now you should be able to edit files in $SRCDIR, and use your revision
-   control system to commit them, and the wiki will automatically update.
-   And in the web interface, RecentChanges should work, and files changed
-   by web users will also be committed using revision control.
