You may have many documents that you would like to use a local program to format in a format PmWiki can display.
You could open each document and copy/paste the content to new pmwiki pages or you could format the document in advance and upload it using a FTP client.
Only two lines are necessary in a PmWiki page file:
version=pmwiki-2.1.0 urlencoded=1
text=Markup text
The first line tells PmWiki that the values are urlencoded. The actual value of the “version=“ parameter doesn’t matter, as long as “urlencoded=1″ appears somewhere in the line. The markup text needs to have newlines converted to “%0a” and percent signs converted to “%25″.
Keys you could see in a raw PmWiki file:
- version
- Version of PmWiki used to create the file More??? (ordered, urlencoded)
- agent
- Author’s browser when saving the page
- author
- Last author to save page
- csum
- Change summary
- ctime
- Page creation time
- host
- Host created this page
- name
- Name of the page (e.g.,
Main.WikiSandbox)
- rev
- Number of times the page has been edited
- targets
- Targets for links in the page
- text
- The page’s wiki markup
- time
- Time the page was last saved (seconds since 1 Jan 1970 00:00 UTC)
- title
- Page title set via
(:title The Page Title:).
- newline
- Character used for newlines (deprecated)
Below these you will see information used to keep track of the page’s revision history.
Creating a Page for Distribution
A simple way to create a wikipage file to for distribution (for example with a recipe or a skin) is to create the page with PmWiki and then use a text editor to delete all lines but version, text, and ctime. Example:
version=pmwiki-2.1.0 ordered=1 urlencoded=1
text=This is a line.%0aThis is another.
ctime=1142030000
