Plugins

Plugins provide a system for extending DokuWiki's features without the need to modify the original code.

The purpose of this page is to provide details on what plugins we have installed, and how to use them.

• Box Plugin - highlight important parts of your wiki in boxes that standout
• Gallery Plugin - allows you to embed an automatically created image gallery into a wiki page
• Comment Plugin - add comments/notes to your Wiki source that won't be shown on the page
• Font Colour Plugin - change colour of text in your wiki page
• Highlight Plugin - highlight text in your wiki page
• IFrame Plugin - display another web page inside your wiki page
• Include Plugin - include another Wiki page in the current one
• Math Plugin - incorporate mathematical formulae into your wiki page
• Numbered Headline Plugin - add numbered headings
• Repository Plugin - display svn repositories including syntax highlighting
• swfObject Plugin - embed .swf (and indirectly .flv files) on your wiki page
• s5 Presentation Plugin - presentations plugin
• Video Plugin - embed various media types into your web page

DokuWiki plugins are frequently written by users who are not part of the regular development team. As a result, there is no guarantee that:

• … the plugin developer will assist us if the plugin does not work.
• … the plugin developer will not abandon the plugin.
• … plugins will continue to work across DokuWiki versions.

While there are quite a number of DokuWiki plugins available, the tech team will always try to balance the need for additional functionality with the need for a stable operating environment for our user community. That being said, if there is additional functionality that you require in DokuWiki, please contact the tech team, and we will try to assist you.
