+* Smart merging and conflict resolution in your web browser
+
+  Since it uses subversion, ikiwiki takes advantage of its smart merging to
+  avoid any conflicts when two people edit different parts of the same page
+  at the same time. No annoying warnings about other editors, or locking,
+  etc, instead the other person's changes will be automatically merged with
+  yours when you commit.
+
+  In the rare cases where automatic merging fails due to the same part of a
+  page being concurrently edited, regular subversion commit markers are
+  shown in the file to resolve the conflict, so if you're already familiar
+  with that there's no new commit marker syntax to learn.
+
+* page locking
+
+  Wiki admins can lock pages so that only other admins can edit them.
+
+* Full text search
+
+  ikiwiki can use the [[HyperEstraier]] search engine to add powerful
+  full text search capabilities to your wiki.
