The manual is intended to be the extended resource for all standard questions on using DokuWiki. It includes information useful for “standard” users and administrators who want to configure and run their own wiki installation.

Pages should start with a general description of a feature and how to use it, then go into detail about how to configure it.

If you can't find what you're looking for here, be sure to use the search.
