Unlike conventional wiki software, ikiwiki stores its pages in a standard version control system such as Git, Subversion or others.[2]
Features
editikiwiki supports several lightweight markup languages, including Markdown, Creole, reStructuredText and Textile.
In the simplest case, it can function as an off-line static web site generator (possibly still allowing different users to submit changes through VCS; this method is sometimes referred to as wiki compiler), but it can use CGI to function as a normal web-interfaced wiki as well.[3] Login via OpenID is supported.
ikiwiki can be used for maintaining a blog, and includes common blogging functionality such as comments and RSS feeds. The installer includes an option to set up a simple blog at install time.[4]
ikiwiki is included in various Linux distributions, including Debian and Ubuntu.[3]
