Main Features of TWiki

• Any web browser: Edit existing pages or create new pages by using any web browser. There is no need to upload pages.
• Edit link: To edit a page, simply click on the Edit link at the bottom of the page.
• Auto links: Web pages are linked automatically?. You do not need to learn HTML commands to link pages.
• Text formatting: Simple, powerful and easy-to-learn text formatting rules. Basically you write text like you would write an e-mail.
• Webs: Pages are grouped into TWiki webs? (or collections). This allows you to set up separate collaboration groups.
• Search: Full text search with/without regular expressions. See a sample search result.
• E-mail notification: Get automatically notified? when something has changed in a TWiki web.
• Structured content: Use TWiki Forms? to classify and categorize unstructured web pages and to create simple workflow systems.
• File attachments: Upload? and download any file as an attachment to a page by using your browser. This is similar to file attachments in an e-mail, but it happens on web pages.
• Revision control: All changes to pages and attachments are tracked. Retrieve previous page revisions; compare differences; find out who changed what and when.
• Access control: Define groups and impose fine-grained read and write access restrictions? based on groups and users.
• Variables: Use variables? to dynamically compose your pages. This allows you for example to dynamically build a table of contents, include other pages, or show a search result embedded in a page.
• TWiki plugins: Easily install program enhancements using external plug-in modules. Developers can create plug-ins in Perl using the TWiki Plugin API.
• Templates and skins: A flexible templating system? separates program logic and presentation. Skins? overwrite template headers and footers; page content is unaffected.
• Managing pages: Individual pages? can be renamed, moved and deleted through the browser.
• Managing users: Web-based user registration? and change of password.
• Statistics: Create statistics of TWiki webs. Find out most popular pages and top contributors.
• Preferences: Three levels of preferences: TWiki Preferences for site-level, Web Preferences for each web, and user level preferences.
• Topic locking: Users are warned if a page is being edited by another person. This is to prevent simultaneous page editing.
• Referred-By: Find the pages that contain links to a topic.
