| Yes, DokuWiki markup looks similar to MediaWiki markup (used in [[https://www.wikipedia.org/|WikiPedia]]), however it differs in a number of ways. | Yes, DokuWiki markup looks similar to MediaWiki markup (used in [[https://www.wikipedia.org/|WikiPedia]]), however it differs in many ways. |

| - Headings (headlines) are defined by equal signs (like '**%%=====%%**Heading**%%=====%%**'), but they may ONLY contain text. Especially, links are NOT allowed in Headings, unlike MediaWiki which does allow links. Info on why is [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/faq:headerlinks|here]]. | - Headings (headlines) are defined by equal signs (like '**%%=====%%**Heading**%%=====%%**'), but they may ONLY contain text.

| - There is no Page Title stored outside of the page markup, unlike MediaWiki. FSGW has DokuWiki configured to use the first Headline on each page as that pages title. If you need to override that, you can put "**~~Title:**Desired Page Title**~~**" at the very top of the page markup. | - There is no Page Title stored outside of the page markup, unlike MediaWiki.

| - Links are defined as: %%[[<URL>|description to display]]%%, for example: %%[[https://fsgw.org|FSGW website]]%% | - Internal (inside the wiki) links are defined as: %%[[:page filename]]%%, for example: %%[[admin_tools]]%%\\ If a page is in an access group like staff or treasurer, then use %%[[group name:page filename]]%%. For pages not in a group, you can often leave the leading colon "''**:**''" out, but to link from a page in a group to a page not in any group, the leading colon is required. |
| - External (outside the wiki) links will open in a new tab. This is a configuration choice FSGW made in DokuWiki. | - External (outside the wiki) links are defined as: %%[[<URL>|description to display]]%%, for example: %%[[https://fsgw.org|FSGW website]]%% |
| | - External links will always open in a new tab. This is a configuration choice FSGW made in DokuWiki. |
| | - You can upload images and display them embedded in a wiki page [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/images|as explained here]]. [[registrationcleanup|This page contains an image]]\\ But the "''**wiki:**''" they suggest in the tag does not work for me. Instead use just a bare colon "''**:**''".\\ A working image display tag is: ''%%{{:eventcount_with_eventadmin.png?direct&800}}%%'' |
| - The page editing window can easily be expanded vertically. Click on the fat down and up arrows below the bottom right corner of the editing window, to vertically expand or contract the editing window somewhat at each click. This size change is saved from edit to edit in that tab.\\ For a temporary change, hover your mouse cursor just inside the bottom right corner of the editing window, move it around until it becomes a horizontal line with up and down arrows. Click and hold as you move the mouse cursor to where you want the bottom right corner of the editing window to be. This can also narrow or widen the editing window. | - The page editing window can easily be expanded vertically.
