twiki support for emacs

twiki support for emacs

[Klaus Zeitler]

they've started using twiki (http://twiki.org/) here in our intranet.
Since I really hate editing with web-browser pseudo-editors I thought
I'll try the wiki packages for emacs. I got wiki.el and emacs-wiki.el
and I've tried to use emacs-wiki. But I'm not getting very far.

Here are a few questions (I'm afraid I may have more :-():

1. Seems there are quite a few different wiki versions out there.
   Does emacs support twiki? Does anybody use twiki together with emacs?

2. The twiki pages here all have an extension .txt, thus following links
   in emacs-wiki.el doesn't work.

3. even worse twiki stores the wiki pages via RCS. Does emacs-wiki.el o
   wiki.el support this or is this transparent?

Thanks

Klaus

an easy way is:
  - setting the EDITOR environment variable to emacsclient
  - calling server-start into emacs
  - using w3m as browser

so, while you will still be using w3m for browsing, you will be using
Emacs for editing.

but I was hoping I could hack this stuff directly in emacs (with one of the
packages wiki.el or emacs-wiki.el).

I've tried to install w3m on our Solaris machines here about 1.5 years ago,
but I couldn't get it to work and couldn't find any support.
Maybe I should try again installing w3m.
