MediaSyntax Plugin

• Log in as Administrator to your DokuWiki
• Choose Admin→Extension Manager
• Under «Search and Install» search for «mediasyntax»
• Click on «Install».

• To use tables in MediaWiki syntax, install the exttab3 plugin (previous: exttab1 or exttab2).
• To have MediaWiki's styleset, install the Monobook or Vector skin.
• If you want the «edit» buttons to be above and not below the section to edit, install the editsections plugin (NOTE: URL No longer exists source site).
• Test your installation by writing a new article starting with '''hello world'''. This should be displayed bold.

After installation, MediaWiki syntax is used to display your pages. This also includes the #redirect command.

Tables stay in the DokuWiki syntax because the MediaWiki syntax does not allow for simple tables. If you really want mediawiki-style tables, use the exttab1 or exttab2 or exttab3 plugins.

To add an image, store your image (let's assume it is called myimage.png) into the image folder (e.g. /srv/www/htdocs/dokuwiki/data/media/image). To show it use the syntax

[[Image:myimage.png]]

The mediasyntax plugin is derived from the cool Creole, combined with the goto, which is now the redirect component. To download mediasyntax' latest development code, open a Linux console and type

git clone git://github.com/tstaerk/mediasyntax.git

You can also view the code online.

Thank you so much 🙏 for your amazing plugin. I am surprised more don’t use your useful plugin since MediaWiki syntax is so popular (even more than MarkDown) and it lets DokuWiki be a simpler to maintain MediaWiki clone. — The Cloud Monk 2023/05/23 :: Thanks for the feedback - Thorsten
