Lithium wiki app

Lithium wiki app

Quick start guide

To get started using the wiki app, follow these steps:

  1. Install the wiki app by adding 'lithium.wiki' to INSTALLED_APPS.

  2. Run manage.py syncdb so that Django will create the wiki tables.

  3. Add the wiki app’s URLs to your project’s urls.py:

    urlpatterns = patterns('',
        ...
        url(r'^wiki/', include('lithium.wiki.urls')),
        ...
)
