# NAME
ikiwiki - a wiki compiler
# SYNOPSIS
ikiwiki [options] source templates destination
# DESCRIPTION
`ikiwiki` is a wiki compiler. It builds static html pages for a wiki, from `source` in the [[MarkDown]] `language`, using the specified html `templates` and writes it out to `destination`.
# OPTIONS
Note that most options can be shortened to single letters.
* --wikiname
The name of the wiki, default is "wiki".
* --verbose
Be vebose about what it's doing.
* --rebuild
Force a rebuild of all pages.
* --wrapper
Generate a [[wrapper]] binary that is hardcoded to do action specified by the other options, using the specified input files and `destination` directory.
The wrapper is designed to be safely made suid and be run by untrusted users, as a [[Subversion]] [[post-commit]] hook, or as a [[CGI]].
Note that the generated wrapper will ignore all command line parameters except for --params, which will make it print out the parameters it would run ikiwiki with.
* --svn, --nosvn
Enable or disable use of [[subversion]]. If subversion is enabled, the `source` directory is assumed to be a working copy, and is automatically updated before building the wiki.
In [[CGI]] mode, with subversion enabled pages edited via the web will be committed to subversion. Also, the [[RecentChanges]] link will be placed on pages.
Subversion is enabled by default.
* --anonok, --noanonok
If anonok is set, it will allow anonymous web users, who have not signed in, to make changes to the wiki.
By default, anonymous users cannot edit the wiki.
* --cgi
Enable [[CGI]] mode. In cgi mode ikiwiki runs as a cgi script, and supports editing pages, signing in, registration, and displaying [[RecentChanges]].
To use ikiwiki as a [[CGI]] program you need to use --wrapper to generate a wrapper. The wrapper will generally need to run suid 6755 to the user who owns the `source` and `destination` directories.
* --url http://someurl/
Specifies the url to the wiki. This is a required parameter in [[CGI]] mode.
* --cgiurl http://someurl/ikiwiki.cgi
Specifies the url to the ikiwiki [[CGI]] script [[wrapper]]. Required when building the wiki for links to the cgi script to be generated.
* --historyurl http://svn.someurl/trunk/[[]]?root=wiki
Specifies the url to link to for page history browsing. In the url, "[[]]" is replaced with the page to browse. It's common to use [[ViewCVS]] for this.
