32 The new gEDA Project Wiki pages are hosted using Dokuwiki version 09 March 2006. This wiki-engine has several enhancements:
33 </p>
34 <ul>
35 <li class="level1"><div class="li"> Bug fixes.</div>
36 </li>
37 <li class="level1"><div class="li"> A new toolbar in the editor.</div>
38 </li>
39 <li class="level1"><div class="li"> <a href="http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:syntax" class="urlextern" title="http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:syntax" rel="nofollow">Syntax</a> enhancements.</div>
40 </li>
41 <li class="level1"><div class="li"> Updates to the <a href="http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:search" class="urlextern" title="http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:search" rel="nofollow">Search</a> feature. You can now search for exact phrases by enclosing them with double quotes, and use “*” wildcard searches.</div>
42 </li>
43 <li class="level1"><div class="li"> Google <a href="http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:sitemap" class="urlextern" title="http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:sitemap" rel="nofollow">sitemap</a> support. Your edited content will be indexed by Google much faster.</div>
44 </li>
45 <li class="level1"><div class="li"> You can upload and embed <a href="http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:images" class="urlextern" title="http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:images" rel="nofollow">other files</a> into the pages using the MediaPopup feature on the toolbar in the editor (including image files, flash files, <acronym title="Portable Document Format">PDF</acronym> files, etc.). Please note that image/media files can not be removed once uploaded by an author.</div>
46 </li>
47 <li class="level1"><div class="li"> Footnotes.</div>
48 </li>
49 <li class="level1"><div class="li"> Larger global cache, allowing for larger documents (currently set to 20 <acronym title="Megabyte">MB</acronym>).</div>
50 </li>
51 <li class="level1"><div class="li"> You can subscribe to e-mail pagechange notification, on a wiki-page by wiki-page basis. If you are interested in monitoring the changes made by others to a spicific page, simply press the “Subscribe Changes” button at the bottom of the wiki-page. To unsubscribe from a wiki-page, simply press the “Unsubscribe Changes” button.</div>
52 </li>
53 <li class="level1"><div class="li"> URLs are now “pretty”.</div>
54 </li>
55 <li class="level1"><div class="li"> Breadcrumbs (i.e., the line at the top of the browser’s window that starts with “Trace:&quot;. This is a “where are you” indicator.</div>
56 </li>
57 <li class="level1"><div class="li"> Wiki-pages can be <a href="http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:export" class="urlextern" title="http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:export" rel="nofollow">exported</a> to different formats (e.g., plain-text, simple <acronym title="Extensible HyperText Markup Language">XHTML</acronym> (the page without navigational elements), rendered <acronym title="Extensible HyperText Markup Language">XHTML</acronym> (no head or body tags), <acronym title="Hyper Text Transfer Protocol">HTTP</acronym>).</div>
58 </li>
59 <li class="level1"><div class="li"> The <code>&lt;code&gt;&lt;/code&gt;</code> tag supports syntax highlighting for numerous programming languages.</div>
60 </li>
61 <li class="level1"><div class="li"> A playground for authors to “play” with new features, before implimenting on the wiki’s pages.</div>
62 </li>
63 <li class="level1"><div class="li"> Control of Dokuwiki’s <a href="http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:caching#purging_the_cache" class="urlextern" title="http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:caching#purging_the_cache" rel="nofollow">caching</a> operations. This is important to wiki-page authors, as sometimes a page gets cached by Dokuwiki on the server, and needs to be purged. Remember, what the author sees may not be what others see.<br/>
64 This is different than your browser’s cache, which may occassionally need to be flushed. For example, when the <acronym title="Hypertext Preprocessor">PHP</acronym> global memory limit is exceeded, that wiki-page can’t be displayed, even if the <acronym title="Hypertext Preprocessor">PHP</acronym> global memory limit is changed on the server. You would need to flush your browser’s cache to load and view the wiki-page.</div>
