# NAME ikiwiki - a wiki compiler # SYNOPSIS ikiwiki [options] source templates destination # DESCRIPTION `ikiwiki` is a wiki compiler. It builds static html pages for a wiki, from `source` in the [[MarkDown]] language, using the specified html `templates` and writes it out to `destination`. # OPTIONS Note that most options can be shortened to single letters. * --wikiname The name of the wiki, default is "wiki". * --verbose Be vebose about what it's doing. * --rebuild Force a rebuild of all pages. * --wrapper Generate a [[wrapper]] binary that is hardcoded to do action specified by the other options, using the specified input files and `destination` directory. The wrapper is designed to be safely made suid and be run by untrusted users, as a [[Subversion]] [[post-commit]] hook, or as a [[CGI]]. Note that the generated wrapper will ignore all command line parameters except for --params, which will make it print out the parameters it would run ikiwiki with. * --svn, --nosvn Enable or disable use of [[subversion]]. If subversion is enabled, the `source` directory is assumed to be a working copy, and is automatically updated before building the wiki. In [[CGI]] mode, with subversion enabled pages edited via the web will be committed to subversion. Also, the [[RecentChanges]] link will be placed on pages. Subversion is enabled by default. * --anonok, --noanonok If anonok is set, it will allow anonymous web users, who have not signed in, to make changes to the wiki. By default, anonymous users cannot edit the wiki. * --cgi Enable [[CGI]] mode. In cgi mode ikiwiki runs as a cgi script, and supports editing pages, signing in, registration, and displaying [[RecentChanges]]. To use ikiwiki as a [[CGI]] program you need to use --wrapper to generate a wrapper. The wrapper will generally need to run suid 6755 to the user who owns the `source` and `destination` directories. * --url http://someurl/ Specifies the url to the wiki. This is a required parameter in [[CGI]] mode. * --cgiurl http://someurl/ikiwiki.cgi Specifies the url to the ikiwiki [[CGI]] script [[wrapper]]. Required when building the wiki for links to the cgi script to be generated. * --historyurl http://svn.someurl/trunk/[[]]?root=wiki Specifies the url to link to for page history browsing. In the url, "[[]]" is replaced with the page to browse. It's common to use [[ViewCVS]] for this. # AUTHOR Joey Hess
