DokuWiki

DokuWiki is a simple to use and highly versatile Open Source wiki software that doesn't require a database. It is loved by users for its clean and readable syntax. The ease of maintenance, backup and integration makes it an administrator's favorite. Built in access controls and authentication connectors make DokuWiki especially useful in the enterprise context and the large number of plugins contributed by its vibrant community allow for a broad range of use cases beyond a traditional wiki.

Questions answered

How to convert all pages from URL-encoded to UTF8?

Read this tip about how to convert the filenames. This question was raised several times in maillist:

Why PNG images with transparency are not displayed correctly with IE?

Indeed, IE 5.5 & 6 do not support PNG images with full alpha channel transparency (should be fixed in IE7). See here and here for more details and solution for the problem, which is based on IE-specific ability to apply custom filters to images:

img {
  filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(...);
}

Why rounded borders are not correctly rendered in IE?

IE version 7 and earlier do not support border-radius CSS attribute. See here and here for more information & fix (which is based on VML sublayers).

What is a workaround for unsupported `min-height`/`max-height` in IE?

See here.
