Inserting pages


You can insert another wiki page into a wiki page using the following markup:
[insert:pagename]
This will insert in place the page called pagename

RSS


RSS Feeds are a great way to produce news articles from pages. When you save a page that has RSS markup a file with the same name as the page but with a .xml file extension will be saved in the data (or "offline") folder.
Here is the markup:

[rssChannelTitle:channelname] - Title of the RSS Channel is channelname

[rssChannelDescription:description] - Description of the RSS Channel is description

[rssChannelLink:linkurl] - Url to the rss feed

[rssTitle:titlehere] - Title of the RSS item is titlehere

[rssPubDate:02/02/2006 9:20am] - Publish date of the RSS item is 02/02/2006 at 9:20am. This format is dependent on the short date format and time format for the default profile on the web server PC. This will usually be american date format unless specified otherwise

[rssLink:linkurl] - Url for this rss item. This link should be unique especially if you do not specify a guid as the linkurl will be copied to the guid tag.

[rssDescription:blar] - Description of the RSS item is blar. This will also signify the end of the RSS item (so any RSS markup associated with this item should be before it)
[rssFeed:Feed Name|Feed url] - This tag will produce the necessary link tag to the rss feed which will be displayed in firefox or rss capable browsers.

Miscelaneous


Breaking between sections


Normally you would simply put a ENTER to break apart two lines. With this Wiki this will only break apart the wiki markup. This makes it easier to read the wiki markup without affecting the layout of the wiki page. To actually break between two sections put a SPACE and then a ENTER

Not using wiki markup


At some point you may want to use some of the characters that are usually reserved for wiki markup. To use for example square brackets around something simply put a ~ after the first square bracket. Eg [~blar foo]
You can also use the tag nowiki in the same way as HTML around larger sections. This is especially useful for source code
