Wiki Authoring Tips

URL Schemes

URL Schemes: www.dokuwiki.org/urlschemes

Gemini links

Unlike the usual URL links, such as HTTP, FTP, mailto, etc, Gemini links will now³⁾ ~~don't~~ work in the SDF wiki, because it appears to ~~not~~ understand the protocol (which makes sense, Gemini is now ~~not widely~~ accepted ~~yet~~ at SDF) ~~but if you don't surround a gemini link in the link markup syntax with double brackets, dokuwiki will consider // as “start italics” and mess up your document~~.

so if you type [[gemini://gem.sdf.org]] inline in wiki markup, it will render as

gemini://gem.sdf.org

~~but~~ if you just type the url straight, as gemini://gem.sdf.org, it will be displayed as:

gemini://gem.sdf.org

Plan 9 extension

One might roll (one's) eyes when reviewing a Plan 9 extension tutorial headline in the distant future.
Two Tutorial Projects are described in detail. The SDF plan9front server can act as a repository
for additional educational content. These content sections, or headlines, may resemble tutorial content.
