html and templates
Editing Interface
Most wikis have their own private internal mark-up language that is intended to be simpler and quicker to code and learn than html.
Lemon Squeezy prefers the much more standard html for its internal language and this puts control much more in your hands. You can use as much or as little html as you know. with a few simple extra markup features.
Many people though, really can't be bothered with any kind markup language, and so a third party package, FCKEditor has been bolted in, and you can now edit documents using a more standard environment, similar to Microsoft Word or Dreamweaver.
Customising your website
There are many ways in which your wiki array can be tailored to your own purposes without needing a php programmer.
styles The system has one default style sheet which soon you will be able to edit too. This is what defines fonts, colours, indents across the site. It's a slightly different language to html, but you can read it and tweak it experimentally. There's no better way (that we know of) to learn and take control of your website!
template All pages are based on a single editable html template that is editable just like the content pages. Again you are encouraged to experiment -- you can always roll back when things don't go the way you plan!
Logo This is one of the roaming files which give you ready access to the logo using a standard name. This is very useful for login pages and if you want to have several wikis on the same template with just the logo differing. Simply name each file LOGO.jpg and put them in the folder to which they apply. Then the same template will show different graphics.
login & privacy The default authorise.php in combination with permissions.conf file provide a number of options. If a website is not published, you can automatically log users in as level 0 (can see pages but not edit). There is also a token which can be inserted, into the template or perhaps the front page, which when clicked forces the logon screen. Conversely, there is another token which is repaced by a username and password box, if you prefer for those not to be one click away.
The authorisation and permissions scripts are seperate from the rest of the code so you can rewrite them to work with your existing authorisation system.
php There is also a space for you to write your own custom script to tweak the site. This is how you might go about writing plugins
