Pages

A wiki page is plain text and uses markups to convert it to a html page without knowning anything about that html language. Thanks to the txt2tags document generator, it is also possible to convert the page to many other formats like:

Creating a page

Creating a new wiki page can be done in two ways.

  1. Link to a page which does not exist yet.
  2. Using the Wixi drop-down menu.
1. Link to a non-existing page.
In the page editor, just create a link to your new page. If you switch to the viewer, go to the link. If you see a red asteriks (*), it means this links to a non-existing page. Click on the link to create the new page.

2. Drop down menu.
Select Wiki --> New --> Wiki Page. Then you will be asked to enter the name of the new page. After clicking OK, the can edit and save the page.

Editing a page

Editing pages can be done by going to the editor tab (next to the viewer tab). Wixi uses the txt2tags markup language, so learning the basic first is very usefull. After you have edit the contents you may add a comment and save the page. Look at the markup table to see how to use the markups.

Saving a page

Saving a page is done automaticly when:

Page reversions

You can create different reversion from one page if you add a comment before saving the page. If no comment is written, the page will be updated and no reversion will be made. You can add a comment at the bottom in the editor tab.

Comparing reversions

To see the difference between 2 previous saved pages, you can compare them in the compare tab. Just select the different dates in the drop-down menu.

Renaming a page

You can rename a page in the category tree. Right-click on a page and select rename page. If there are other pages linking to this page, you will have to rename the links to. You can find out by selecting "linked pages" in the Tools menu.

Removing a page

You can remove a page by right-clicking on a page in the category tree. When selecting delete page, the page will not be shown in the category tree anymore. Instead, it will show up in the "RemovedPages" folder in the Events.

To completely purge the page from the database, you will have to use the delete history button in the settings panel. Note that this will also cleanup your history page information.
