WikklyText A wikitext server and rendering library
What is WikklyText?
- It provides a lightweight, portable, extensible wiki language, compatible with TiddlyWiki
(see also: MarkupReference). - It is easily used as a WikiOnAStick for keeping a personal wiki.
- It can be used BehindApache to serve a multiuser wiki.
- It can be plugged into Drupal allowing you to write in WikklyText markup on your existing Drupal site.
- It provides "Safe" and "Full" modes: In "Safe" mode, the user is restricted to only calling safe macros, no HTML injection is possible, and the generated text is filtered to preclude XSS issues. In a server setting (e.g. Drupal or Apache) this allows untrusted users to write WikklyText content without endangering system security.
- It is extensible, allowing both embedded Python code in wikitexts (<?py ... ?>) as well as providing an easy to use plugin API.
- It is a modular Python library that you can use to build your own wikitext rendering applications. You can render to both HTML and XML for flexibility.
- It is provided under a free license.

There is a mailing list for WikklyText users and developers. Please post support questions there so everyone may benefit from the answers. Security-related announcements will be posted there as well, so if you are running a public WikklyText site, you may want to subscribe to the list.
The list is hosted at Google Groups: WikklyText Mailing list
You can also post comments on many pages here (for longer questions/issues, though, please use the mailing lists).

The site you are viewing is a WikklyText wiki. If you are familiar with TiddlyWiki you'll notice that WikklyText wikis use the same naming scheme. This is done so that you can move content freely between a TiddlyWiki and a WikklyText wiki. (See the wik conv command in UsingWik.)
Much of the time, this site will be running a prerelease version of WikklyText. Don't be surprised to see a version number (on the link at the bottom) that is not yet available for download. All features will be included in the next stable release.
