PmWiki | Cookbook / Cookbook-Old

Welcome to the PmWiki Cookbook! The "recipes" in the Cookbook describe add-on scripts and various "tips and tricks" that let you customize PmWiki in lots of different ways. If this is your first exposure to the Cookbook, you may want to read CookbookBasics.

Note: These are PmWiki 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 recipes. See Cookbook-V1 for PmWiki 0.6 and 1.0 recipes.

Feel free to add your own contributions to the cookbook. If you want to write and distribute Cookbook recipes, see the cookbook module guidelines. In order to avoid duplication, make sure you check the archives of the discussion list for keywords of what you want to implement.

Proposals and ideas for new features (as opposed to existing solutions) should be added to the PmWiki Issue Tracking System (PITS).
