Configuration Setting: fnencode
DokuWiki stores the content of a page in a .txt file named after the page's name. To avoid problems when the pagename contains special characters or non-ASCII letters and the underlying file system doesn't support them, DokuWiki uses an encoding mechanism. Which mechanism is used can be configured with this setting.
- Type: String
- Default:
url
- Possible values:
url
– use URL encoding, can produce very long filenamessafe
– use more compact encoding (recommended)utf-8
– use no encoding at all and store filenames in UTF-8
Warning: Changing this option could cause unintended behaviour. By changing it you can make pages created under a previous setting inaccessible.
Please also note that storing UTF-8 filenames might not be possible with all file systems. Windows systems have been reported to not work with this setting.
