When I started ikiwiki in 2006, there were no other existing systems that
filled quite the niche of generating a static html wiki out of markdown
files stored in a [[VCS|rcs]]. My
first blog about ikiwiki
looked at some projects that were semi-close, and found them wanting.
My hope was that besides being useful to all its [[users|ikiwikiusers]],
ikiwiki would help spread its underlying concepts. Let a thousand flowers
bloom! These are some that have sprung up since. --[[Joey]]
-
Gitit is a wiki backed by a git (or
darcs) filestore. No static rendering here; pages are generated on the fly.
It's written in Haskell and uses the amazing PanDoc to generate html
from markdown or many other formats.
-
Markdoc statically builds
a wiki from markdown source (which can be in a VCS, if you check it in).
It includes a built-in webserver to ease serving the generated static
html.
