+wiki, ikiwiki does not have its own means of storing page history or its own
+markup language. Instead it uses [[Subversion]] and [[MarkDown]].

 
 

-To use ikiwiki to set up a wiki, you will probably want to use it with a
-revision control system, such as [[Subversion]], for keeping track of past
-versions of pages. ikiwiki can run as a Subversion [[post-commit]] hook, so
-that each committed change to your wiki is immediatly compiled and
-published. (It can also be run by hand, by cron, or integrated with any
-other revision control system.) 
-
-[[Subversion]] also offers a way to let others edit pages on your wiki.
-Just configure subversion to let appropriate users (or everyone) commit to
-the wiki's repository. There are some things you should keep in mind about
-[[Security]] when allowing the world to edit your ikiwiki.
-
-ikiwiki supports pages using [[MarkDown]] as their markup language. Any
-page with a filename ending in ".mdwn" is converted from markdown to html
-by ikiwiki. Markdown understands text formatted as it would be in an email,
-and is quite smart about converting it to html. The only additional markup
-provided by ikiwiki aside from regular markdown is the [[WikiLink]].
-
-ikiwiki also supports files of any other type, including raw html, text,
-images, etc. These are not converted to wiki pages, they are just copied
-unchanged by ikiwiki as it builds your wiki. So you can check in an image,
-program, or other special file and link to it from your wiki pages.
-ikiwiki also supports making one page that is a [[SubPage]] of another.
+See [[Features]] for a current list of ikiwiki's features. [[WhyIkiWiki]]
+might be useful if you're considering using this.
