Currently implemented:


[[Subversion]]
Rather than implement its own system for storing page histories etc, ikiwiki      simply uses subversion. (Supporting other revision control systems is also possible, ikiwiki only needs $FOO add, $FOO commit, and $FOO log).
Instead of editing pages in a stupid web form, you can use vim and commit changes via svn. Or work disconnected using svk and push your changes out when you come online.


ikiwiki can be run from a [[post-commit]] hook to update your wiki immediatly whenever you commit.


[[MarkDown]]
ikiwiki supports pages using [[MarkDown]] as their markup language. Any
page with a filename ending in ".mdwn" is converted from markdown to html
by ikiwiki. Markdown understands text formatted as it would be in an email,
and is quite smart about converting it to html. The only additional markup
provided by ikiwiki aside from regular markdown is the [[WikiLink]].


support for other file types
ikiwiki also supports files of any other type, including raw html, text,
images, etc. These are not converted to wiki pages, they are just copied
unchanged by ikiwiki as it builds your wiki. So you can check in an image,
program, or other special file and link to it from your wiki pages.


[[SubPage]]s
Arbitrarily deep hierarchies of pages with fairly simple and useful [[SubPage/LinkingRUles]]
