Welcome to your wiki!
=====================

**Slim wiki** is a fast and slim wiki based on PHP and Markdown.

- Write your pages in (GitHub-flavored) [Markdown](cheat_sheets/Markdown_cheat_sheet) - no fancy wiki syntax no one can remember, instead pretty text written in a widely used standard.
- Add code snippets with syntax highlighting to your pages. Slim wiki has support for [a ton of languages](http://prismjs.com/#languages-list).
- No database required - everything is file-based.
- Beautiful styling.
- Edit your pages with a single click in a great editor - no tiny little text area.
- Instant preview of your changes.
- Slim wiki is open source (MIT license)

Installation
------------

Requirements:

- PHP 5.3+
- Apache Webserver with `mod_rewrite` enabled.

Installation:

1. [Download](https://github.com/til-schneider/slim-wiki/releases/latest) the latest `slim-wiki.zip`.
2. Extract the zip and put the contents on your webspace.
3. Create a `config.xml` (copy and adjust the example).
4. Give write permissions to the server for the directory `data` (including subdirectories and files).

How to use the wiki
-------------------

- Just click on the `Edit` button at the top right corner and start writing.
- If you are not familiar with Markdown, check out the [Markdown cheat sheet](cheat_sheets/Markdown_cheat_sheet).
- Your changes are automatically saved as soon as you stop writing for a second. If you see your changes on the right side of the edit view, they will be already saved (with a daily backup) and public. There is no save button you have to press.
- You can add new pages by adding a link to [a non-existing page](this_is_a_new_page). Then click the link and slim wiki will allow you to create the new page.

Tipps:

- Use the main page as overview and add links to subpages.
- You can add a [link to a directory](cheat_sheets) having a `index.md`.

Notes:

- The extension `.md` is optional - slim wiki will add it automatically.
- Underscores in directory or file names are shown as spaces in the breadcrumbs. So if you name your page `My_new_page.md`, it will be shown as `My new page`.

Special thanks
--------------

- Slim wiki is inspired by [Wikitten](https://github.com/victorstanciu/Wikitten). I have used some of their ideas, but technically slim wiki is a complete rewrite.
- Thanks to Daring Fireball for inventing [Markdown](https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax).
- Thanks to GitHub for hosting this project and for some great [enhancements to Markdown](https://help.github.com/articles/github-flavored-markdown).

This is a demo. Your changes won't be saved.

On a real installation, your changes are saved automatically as soon as you stop writing for a second. If you see your changes on the right side, they will be already saved (with a daily backup) and public.

In this demo you can now write some markdown and see how it would look like.
