XWikiTips

Version 4.1 by David De La Harpe Golden on 2018/07/28 19:07

XWiki is a powerful Java-based programmable wiki system, more of a hybrid wiki/cms.  To be honest, in an ideal world I'd rather have continued to custom-implement my site in Lisp, but I had to balance that against time available, and after evaluating several options I ended up going with XWiki for now.

Installation is straightforward on Debian, just following the relevant XWiki docs.  The most involved part was setting up "short URLs" - losing the odd javatastic /xwiki/bin/view url prefix - but again, no real issues there.  

Syntax Highlighting

XWiki apparently uses Pygments (via Jython) for syntax-highlighting in the {{code}} macro, so the available languages are those supported by Pygments: http://pygments.org/docs/lexers/
