Earthbound Wiki collects the highly opinionated subjective personal notes on any knowledge that its sole author, [[http://www.richardalexanderhall.com|yours truly]], may find useful or interesting. ## Wiki Meta Technical Notes to Myself ### Markdown I strongly prefer Markdown for writing instead of the wiki syntax native to DokuWiki, and happily, the [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:commonmark|Commonmark plugin]] provides that. To invoke the Commonmark parser for the render of any page, insert `` at the start of the page, preferably on a line by itself. Unless or until I find a hack to make the wiki consider every page as if it is markdown, unfortunately when you edit a section of a page the parser doesn't see that and so doesn't render markdown; a workaround for that is to temporarily copy that tag into a page section you edit when you click "preview." You can do this with a "Markdown Docytype" button which the plugin adds to the end of the editor buttons row. ### nspages plugin I use this to display wiki namespace content as an index/tree.
