9d10726d48 2008-07-29       drh: are designed to be simple and intuitive.  The idea is that wiki provides
9d10726d48 2008-07-29       drh: paragaph breaks, numbered and bulletted lists, and hyperlinking for
9d10726d48 2008-07-29       drh: simple documents together with a safe subset of HTML for more complex
9d10726d48 2008-07-29       drh: formatting tasks.

9d10726d48 2008-07-29       drh: Each wiki page has its own revision history which is independent of
9d10726d48 2008-07-29       drh: the sequence of baselines (check-ins).  Wiki pages can branch and merge
9d10726d48 2008-07-29       drh: just like baselines, though as of this writing (2008-07-29) there is
9d10726d48 2008-07-29       drh: no mechanism in the user interface to support branching and merging.
9d10726d48 2008-07-29       drh: The currently implementation of the wiki shows the version of the wiki
9d10726d48 2008-07-29       drh: pages that has the most recent timestamp.
9d10726d48 2008-07-29       drh: 
9d10726d48 2008-07-29       drh: In other words, if two users make unrelated changes to the same wiki
9d10726d48 2008-07-29       drh: page on separate repositories, then those repositories are synced,
9d10726d48 2008-07-29       drh: the wiki page will fork.  The web interface will display whichever edit
9d10726d48 2008-07-29       drh: was checked in last.  The other edit can be found in the history.  The
9d10726d48 2008-07-29       drh: file format will support merging the branches back together, but there
9d10726d48 2008-07-29       drh: is no mechanism in the user interface (yet) to perform the merge.
9d10726d48 2008-07-29       drh: 
9d10726d48 2008-07-29       drh: Every change to a wiki page is a separate
