'''PmWiki''' is a wiki engine, or software for running a wiki. It was created by Patrick McChaud in the [[PHP]] scripting language and is available under the GNU GPL. |
|||
PmWiki was designed to be incredibly easy to install and use, only requiring a [[PHP]] backend. It can support using database software like [[MySQL]], but it is not required. It has some similarities to [[MediaWiki]] in regards to markup, though it is is much closer to [[UseModWiki]] and the original [[WikiWikiWeb]] in terms of syntax and appearance. Wiki links are done in [[CamelCase]], though MediaWiki styled "free links" are also supported. |
