WikiDocs

What is WikiDocs?

WikiDocs is a self-hosted, databaseless markdown flat-file wiki engine that allows users to create and manage content without the need for a traditional database. The entire system is based on plain files, making installation easy and allowing users to modify content directly. At its core, WikiDocs uses a unique concept called "hyphae" - units of content such as text articles, pictures, or videos that can be linked and transcluded to form a network of interconnected pages.

Main Features

Some of the key features of WikiDocs include:

• Hyphae: Units of content that can be linked and transcluded to form a network of interconnected pages.
• Mycomarkup: A markup language designed to be unambiguous yet easy to use for authoring hyphae.
• Categories: Allow users to organize hyphae without hierarchical restrictions, with all the benefits of a category system.
• Nesting: Supports nesting of hyphae if users prefer a hierarchical approach.
• History of changes: Every change is safely stored in Git, and web feeds for recent changes are included.
• Keyboard-driven navigation: Users can navigate using keyboard shortcuts, with a list of available shortcuts accessible by pressing ?.
• Authorization: Supports plain username-password pairs and Telegram's login widget for controlling access to content.
• Open Graph support: Makes relevant information about each hypha available through OG meta tags for consumption by other software.
• Interwiki support: Allows linking and referencing between different wiki engines.
