Download and Installation

Log in as Administrator to your DokuWiki
Choose Admin→Manage Plugins
Under “Download and install a new plugin” enter http://www.staerk.de/files/mediasyntax.tar.gz
Click on “Download”.

Optional

To use tables in Mediawiki syntax, install the exttab1 or exttab2 or exttab3 plugins.
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.

Syntax and usage

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

Tables

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.

Images

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]]

Developer's information

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

You can also view the code online.
