====== DokuWiki ======
~~NOTOC~~

DokuWiki is a simple to use and highly versatile Open Source [[wp>wiki software]] that doesn't require a database. It is loved by users for its clean and readable [[wiki:syntax]]. The ease of maintenance, backup and integration makes it an administrator's favorite. Built in [[:acl|access controls]] and [[:auth|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.
