• Log in as Administrator to your DokuWiki
• Choose Admin→Extension Manager
• Under “Search and Install” search for “mediasyntax”
• Click on “Install”.

• To use tables in Mediawiki syntax, install the exttab3 plugin (previous: exttab1 or exttab2).
• To have Mediawiki's styleset, install the Monobook or Vector skin.
• If you want the “edit” buttons to be above and not below the section to edit, install the editsections plugin (source site).
• Test your installation by writing a new article starting with '''hello world'''. This should be displayed bold.

After installation, Mediawiki syntax is used to display your pages. This also includes the #REDIRECT command.

Tables stay in the DokuWiki syntax because the Mediawiki syntax does not allow for simple tables. If you really want mediawiki-style tables, use the exttab1 or exttab2 or exttab3 plugins.

To add an image, store your image (let's assume it is called myimage.png) into the image folder (e.g. /srv/www/htdocs/dokuwiki/data/media/image). To show it use the syntax

[[Image:myimage.png]]

It is tested with DokuWiki 2009-12-25, 2010-11-07, 2011-05-25, 2012-01-25, 2013-05-10 and 2014-05-05.

The mediasyntax plugin is derived from the cool Creole, combined with the goto, which is now the redirect component. To download mediasyntax' latest development code, open a Linux console and type

git clone git://github.com/tstaerk/mediasyntax.git
