Gitit is a wiki application written in Haskell that uses Happstack for serving and Pandoc for markup conversion. Wiki content and attachments are stored in Git, Darcs, or Mercurial repositories, allowing versioning via VCS or web editing. To run gitit, you'll need git in your system path. (Or darcs or hg, if you're using darcs or mercurial to store the wiki data.) Gitit assumes that the page files (stored in the git repository) are encoded as UTF-8. Even page names may be UTF-8 if the file system supports this. So you should make sure that you are using a UTF-8 locale when running gitit. (To check this, type locale.) The metadata block consists of a list of key-value pairs, each on a separate line. If needed, the value can be continued on one or more additional line, which must begin with a space.

Features

  • Persists pages and uploads in Git, Darcs, or Mercurial repos
  • Supports multiple markup formats (Markdown, reST, LaTeX, HTML, literate Haskell) via Pandoc
  • Dynamic plugins in Haskell for page transformations
  • TeX math rendering support
  • Syntax highlighting of code blocks via highlighting‑kate
  • Atom feed generation and caching for performance
