41 These links lead to zip files, generated on the fly, which contain all

46 latest versions of each page, while this __[ZIP Dump |

69 here. Note that pages in your database will be overwritten; thus, if
70 you dumped your HomePage when you load it from this form it will
71 overwrite the one in your database now. If you want to be selective

92 !!! #[Format of the files]
94 Currently the pages are stored, one per file, as MIME (RFC:2045)
95 e-mail (RFC:822) messages. The content-type ''application/x-phpwiki''
96 is used, and page meta-data is encoded in the content-type
97 parameters. (If the file contains several versions of a page, it will
98 have type ''multipart/mixed'', and contain several sub-parts, each
99 with type ''application/x-phpwiki''.) The message body contains the

107 ''serialized()'' strings. For humans, this made the files very hard
108 to read, and nearly impossible to edit.
112 Before that the page text was just dumped to a file--this means that
113 all page meta-data was lost. Note that when loading ''plain files'',
114 the page name is deduced from the file name.
116 The upload and load functions will automatically recognize each of
117 these three types of files, and handle them accordingly.
121 !!! #[Dump pages as XHTML]
123 <?plugin WikiForm action=dumphtml?>
125 This will generate a directory of static pages suitable for

141 they shouldn't really do any harm.
143 !! Purge Markup Cache
145 (If your wiki is so configured,) the transformed (almost-HTML) content
146 of the most recent version of each page is cached. This speeds up page
147 rendering since parsing of the wiki-text takes a fair amount of juice.
