Markdown

Why write HTML by hand when you can write Markdown easily on your tilde.town server?

Three simple steps:

1. write your wiki page as a markdown file and save it with a .text extension. eg: markdown.text
2. type make in the shell. The markdown.text file + page.theme will be turned into markdown.html page.
3. add these two files to git via git add markdown.text markdown.html and commit.
4. profit!
