DokuWiki supports some simple markup language, which tries to make the datafiles to be as readable as possible. This page contains all possible syntax you may use when editing the pages. Simply have a look at the source of this page by pressing “Edit this page”. If you want to try something, just use the playground page. The simpler markup is easily accessible via quickbuttons, too.
Windows shares like this are recognized, too. Please note that these only make sense in a homogeneous user group like a corporate Intranet.
Windows Shares like [[\\server\share|this]] are recognized, too.
Notes:
conf/lang/en/lang.php
(more details at localization): <?php /** * Customization of the english language file * Copy only the strings that needs to be modified */ $lang['js']['nosmblinks'] = '';
You can also use an image to link to another internal or external page by combining the syntax for links and images (see below) like this:
[[http://php.net|{{wiki:dokuwiki-128.png}}]]
Please note: The image formatting is the only formatting syntax accepted in link names.
The whole image and link syntax is supported (including image resizing, internal and external images and URLs and interwiki links).
You can include external and internal images, videos and audio files with curly brackets. Optionally you can specify the size of them.
Resize to given width and height1):
Real size: {{wiki:dokuwiki-128.png}} Resize to given width: {{wiki:dokuwiki-128.png?50}} Resize to given width and height: {{wiki:dokuwiki-128.png?200x50}} Resized external image: {{https://www.php.net/images/php.gif?200x50}}
By using left or right whitespaces you can choose the alignment.
{{ wiki:dokuwiki-128.png}} {{wiki:dokuwiki-128.png }} {{ wiki:dokuwiki-128.png }}
Of course, you can add a title (displayed as a tooltip by most browsers), too.
{{ wiki:dokuwiki-128.png |This is the caption}}
For linking an image to another page see Image Links above.
DokuWiki can embed the following media formats directly.
Image | gif , jpg , png |
Video | webm , ogv , mp4 |
Audio | ogg , mp3 , wav |
Flash | swf |
If you specify a filename that is not a supported media format, then it will be displayed as a link instead.
By adding ?linkonly
you provide a link to the media without displaying it inline
{{wiki:dokuwiki-128.png?linkonly}}
dokuwiki-128.png This is just a link to the image.
Unfortunately not all browsers understand all video and audio formats. To mitigate the problem, you can upload your file in different formats for maximum browser compatibility.
For example consider this embedded mp4 video:
{{video.mp4|A funny video}}
When you upload a video.webm
and video.ogv
next to the referenced video.mp4
, DokuWiki will automatically add them as alternatives so that one of the three files is understood by your browser.
Additionally DokuWiki supports a “poster” image which will be shown before the video has started. That image needs to have the same filename as the video and be either a jpg or png file. In the example above a video.jpg
file would work.
DokuWiki can integrate data from external XML feeds. For parsing the XML feeds, SimplePie is used. All formats understood by SimplePie can be used in DokuWiki as well. You can influence the rendering by multiple additional space separated parameters:
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
any number | will be used as maximum number items to show, defaults to 8 |
reverse | display the last items in the feed first |
author | show item authors names |
date | show item dates |
description | show the item description. All HTML tags will be stripped |
nosort | do not sort the items in the feed |
n[dhm] | refresh period, where d=days, h=hours, m=minutes. (e.g. 12h = 12 hours). |
The refresh period defaults to 4 hours. Any value below 10 minutes will be treated as 10 minutes. DokuWiki will generally try to supply a cached version of a page, obviously this is inappropriate when the page contains dynamic external content. The parameter tells DokuWiki to re-render the page if it is more than refresh period since the page was last rendered.
By default the feed will be sorted by date, newest items first. You can sort it by oldest first using the reverse
parameter, or display the feed as is with nosort
.
Example:
{{rss>http://slashdot.org/index.rss 5 author date 1h }}
DokuWiki's syntax can be extended by Plugins. How the installed plugins are used is described on their appropriate description pages. The following syntax plugins are available in this particular DokuWiki installation:
