---+ 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 top or bottom of the page. * *Auto links:* Web pages are [[WikiWord][linked automatically]]. You do not need to learn HTML commands to link pages. * *Text formatting:* Simple, powerful and easy-to-learn [[WikiSyntax][text formatting rules]]. Basically you write text like you would write an e-mail. * *Webs:* Pages are grouped into [[SiteMap][TWiki webs]] (or workspaces). This allows you to set up separate collaboration groups. * *Search:* [[WebSearch][Full text search]] with/without regular expressions. See a sample [[%SCRIPTURL{view}%/%WEB%/WebSearch?search=learn][search result]]. * *E-mail notification:* Get [[WebChangesAlert][automatically notified]] when something has changed in a TWiki web. * *Structured content:* Use TWikiForms to classify and categorize unstructured web pages and to create simple workflow applications. * *File attachments:* [[FileAttachment][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 [[TWikiAccessControl][access restrictions]] based on groups and users. * *Variables:* Use [[TWikiVariables][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 [[TWikiPlugins][plug-in modules]]. Developers can create plugins in Perl using the TWiki Plugin API. * *Templates and skins:* A flexible [[TWikiTemplates][templating system]] separates program logic and presentation. [[TWikiSkins][Skins]] overwrite template headers and footers; page content is unaffected. * *Managing pages:* Individual [[TWikiTopics][pages]] can be renamed, moved and deleted through the browser. * *Managing users:* Web-based [[TWikiRegistration][user registration]] and [[ChangePassword][change of password]]. * *Statistics:* Create statistics of TWiki webs. Find out most popular pages and top contributors. * *Preferences:* Three levels of preferences: TWikiPreferences for site-level, WebPreferences for each web, and user level preferences. * *Simultaneous page editing:* More than one person can [[SimultaneousEdits][edit a page at the same time]]. * *Backlinks:* Find the pages that contain links to a topic. __Related Topics:__ UserDocumentationCategory, AdminDocumentationCategory -- __Contributors:__ TWiki:Main/JonReid, TWiki:Main/PeterThoeny, TWiki:Main/MikeMannix
