About this wiki

Using “flat files” insteed of “database” make this wiki realy simple to backup and convert your documentation based on text file simpler.
I have wrotten a small perl script to the job, you just have to respect rules on your text file.

#!/usr/bin/perl
# A very simple script to creat basic wiki page
#
# If the line start by TT,*,CC then this script will process it:
#   TT = title 
#   * = section (add two space behind + bold + underline)
#   CC code CC = text bettwen CC will be code
#
# Also add \\ a the end of each line who is not starting by *,=,blanc 
# or ending by \\ and remove space after the last char.
