# About CatWiki

![Catwiki colour icon](data/catwiki/cw_icon_b.png)

**CatWiki** (aka Catwiki) is very simple wiki software that stores its articles as text files.

Catwiki was originally written for Python 2.8. This version (`catwiki_p3`) is Catwiki for
Python 3.5 and later.

## Features

* Stores articles as text files, so they are easy to back up and manipulate. Even if the wiki software goes down, you can still get at your notes.
* Uses an enhanced version of the the Markdown markup language.
* If your wiki pages contain source code, it is highlighted using [Pygments](https://pygments.org/).
* Allows multiple wikis per installation, each one in its own directory.
* Allows subdirectories. You can navigate through the directories using the web interface. If the directory includes image files, the web page shows thumbnails of them.
* You can add Font Awesome icons (both 4.7 and 5.15) in your wiki pages.

## Technology Used

CatWiki is written in Python and uses the Flask lightweight web framework.
