-ikiwiki is a **wiki compiler**. It converts a directory full of wiki pages
-into html pages suitable for publishing on a website. Unlike a traditional
-wiki, ikiwiki does not have its own means of storing page history or its own
-markup language. Instead it uses [[Subversion]] (or [[Git]]) and [[MarkDown]].
