CatWiki (aka Catwiki) is very simple wiki software that stores its articles as text files.
Catwiki was originally written for Python 2.8. This version (catwiki_p3
) is Catwiki for
Python 3.5 and later.
- Stores articles as text files, so they are easy to back up and manipulate. Even if the wiki software goes down, you can still get at your notes.
- Uses an enhanced version of the the Markdown markup language.
- If your wiki pages contain source code, it is highlighted using Pygments.
- Allows multiple wikis per installation, each one in its own directory.
- Allows subdirectories. You can navigate through the directories using the web interface. If the directory includes image files, the web page shows thumbnails of them.
- You can add Font Awesome icons (both 4.7 and 5.15) in your wiki pages.
CatWiki is written in Python and uses the Flask lightweight web framework.
