[edit] Design

ikiwiki compiles wiki pages into HTML pages for publication. Unlike conventional wiki software, it uses a standard version control system such as Subversion or Git.[2] The term "wiki compiler" was coined by ikiwiki's designer to compare the program's function to that of make or gcc for computer software projects.[3]

ikiwiki is implemented in Perl, although external plugins can be implemented in any language. [4] It supports several markup languages, including Markdown, reStructuredText and Textile.[2] In the simplest case it can function as an off-line static web site generator, but it can use cgi to function as a normal web-interfaced wiki as well. Login via OpenID is supported.

ikiwiki is included in various Linux distributions, including Debian GNU/Linux.[5] Licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 2, ikiwiki is free software
