----

This plugin enables users to create annotations and comments for each wiki page. The annotations reside in a special namespace that mirrors the regular namespace structure. //Example//: Annotations for the page ''wiki:formatting_syntax'' are stored in ''annotations:user1:wiki:formatting_syntax'' for user1 and ''annotations:user2:wiki:formatting_syntax'' for user2. The contents of the annotation pages are displayed below the text of ''wiki:formatting_syntax'' - together with an "edit" link and a comment on whom they belong. Visibility of the annotations can be influenced with the regular ACLs inside the annotations namespace. 

The annotations can be styled on a general or on a per-user basis.

**Warning:** This plugin uses the DirectoryIterator from the SPL library (included in PHP 5) and is not compatible with PHP 4.
