+ikiwiki is a wiki compiler.
+
+It converts wiki pages into html pages suitable for publishing on a
+website. Unlike many wikis, ikiwiki does not have its own ad-hoc means
+of storing page history, and instead uses an revision control system.
+
+This means you can edit wiki sources in your favourite editor, and
+rebuild the website, rather than using an online browser form.
