# SUPERSEDED BY QUIKI



Please use [quiki](https://github.com/cooper/quiki) instead, a more comprehensive

wiki suite based on the wikifier concept.



# wikifier



wikifier is a file-based wiki engine.



## Example



```

@page.title:    wikifier;

@page.author:   Mitchell Cooper;



@category.wiki;

@category.software;



infobox {

    image {

        file: wikifier-logo.png;

    };

    Type:           [[ Wiki engine | wp: Wiki software ]];

    Established:    February 2013;

    Author:         [[ Mitchell Cooper | https://github.com/cooper ]];

    Website:        [[ wikifier on GitHub | https://github.com/cooper/wikifier ]];

}

    wikifier is a wiki engine. It is unique because it is completely

    file-based. There are no databases. Yet, it offers page caching, image

    sizing, session management/authentication, and lots of other things that

    fancy wikis use databases for.



    history {

        February 2013:  The first commit of wikifier is published.;

        December 2013:  [[ wp: Nelson Mandela ]] passes away.;

        February 2014:  [[ wp: Ebola virus ]] spreads across West Africa.;

        July 2015:      [[ wp: NASA ]] takes a close-up photo of Pluto.;

    }

}



sec [Components] {

    wikifier is split up into several packages. They are listed below, with

    each subsequent one built atop the previous.



    sec [Wikifier] {

        Responsible for parsing and other low-level functions. While typically

        not used directly, this package provides the most basic implementation

        of the wikifier language.

    }



    sec [Wikifier::Page] {

        An object representing a single page. This package provides a

        programming interface for working with a single wikifier page. The

        included [c]wikifier[/c] executable uses this to read a page file and

        output HTML.

    }



    sec [Wikifier::Wiki] {

        A full wiki suite, capable of managing a diverse collection of content.

        Features page categories, templates, image generation, revision

        tracking, and much more. This package provides a programming interface

        that can be used directly from a web server script, but running a

        standalone wikiserver is preferred.

    }



    sec [Wikifier::Server] {



        imagebox {

            file:   wikiserver-logo.png;

            width:  200px;

            desc:   Wikifier::Server logo;

        }



        The included [c]wikiserver[/c] executable runs an instance of

        Wikifier::Server. A single wikiserver can manage any number of wikis.

        It monitors source files for changes and generates content immediately

        as it is modified. The result is a faster page load time since the

        content has been pregenerated.



        wikiservers do not deliver the content directly to the user. Instead,

        frontends connect to and communicate with them. These frontends, in

        turn, make it possible to view and manage wikifier wikis from the web.

        This makes it easy to incorporate wikifier into almost any web

        server without having to use disgusting Perl HTTPd modules, and it

        allows the wikiserver to perform scheduled operations independently of

        the web server.

    }

}



sec [Frontends] {

    These frontends connect to a wikiserver and deliver content to end users.

    

    sec [quiki] {

        [[ quiki | https://github.com/cooper/quiki ]] is a standalone web server

        for wikifier. Because it is designed specifically for wikifier, it is by

        far the easiest option to get a wiki up and running in a few simple

        steps. It can be incorporated into an existing web environment using a

        reverse proxy.

    }

    

    sec [adminifier] {

        [[ adminifier | https://github.com/cooper/adminifier ]] is a web-based

        administrative panel to manage wikifier wikis. It is written in PHP and

        therefore runs on a variety of web servers.

    }

}



sec [Interfaces] {

    These programming interfaces can be used to incorporate wikifier into

    other web servers.

    

    list {

        [[ go-wikiclient | https://github.com/cooper/go-wikiclient ]] -

            Go programming interface;

        [[ php-wikiclient | https://github.com/cooper/php-wikiclient ]] -

            PHP programming interface;

    }

}

```



## Getting started



[quiki](https://github.com/cooper/quiki) is currently the easiest way to get a

wikifier wiki up and running.



wikifier dependencies can be installed with

```

cpanm GD Git::Wrapper HTTP::Date HTML::Strip HTML::Entities JSON::XS URI::Escape

```
