The artifact is divided into f9f7cf5684 2007-11-24 drh: cards by newline characters. The format of each card is as in f9f7cf5684 2007-11-24 drh: manifests, clusters, and control artifacts. Wiki artifacts accept f9f7cf5684 2007-11-24 drh: the following card types:</p> f9f7cf5684 2007-11-24 drh: f9f7cf5684 2007-11-24 drh: <blockquote> f9f7cf5684 2007-11-24 drh: <b>D</b> <i>time-and-date-stamp</i><br /> f9f7cf5684 2007-11-24 drh: <b>L</b> <i>wiki-title</i><br /> 6680679c2e 2007-11-24 drh: <b>P</b> <i>parent-uuid</i>+<br /> f9f7cf5684 2007-11-24 drh: <b>U</b> <i>user-name</i><br /> 6680679c2e 2007-11-24 drh: <b>W</b> <i>size</i> <b>\n</b> <i>text</i> <b>\n</b><br /> f9f7cf5684 2007-11-24 drh: <b>Z</b> <i>checksum</i> f9f7cf5684 2007-11-24 drh: </blockquote> f9f7cf5684 2007-11-24 drh: 6680679c2e 2007-11-24 drh: <p>The D card is the date and time when the wiki page was edited. 6680679c2e 2007-11-24 drh: The P card specifies the parent wiki pages, if any. The L card 6680679c2e 2007-11-24 drh: gives the name of the wiki page. The U card specifies the login 6680679c2e 2007-11-24 drh: of the user who made this edit to the wiki page.

The second 6680679c2e 2007-11-24 drh: value is the field value. If the field name begins with "+" then 6680679c2e 2007-11-24 drh: the value is appended to the prior value. Otherwise, the value 6680679c2e 2007-11-24 drh: on the J card replaces any previous value of the field. 6680679c2e 2007-11-24 drh: The field name and value are both encoded using the character 6680679c2e 2007-11-24 drh: escapes defined for the C card of a manifest. dbda8d6ce9 2007-07-21 drh: </p>
