WikiDB/Index
For each category of item, this page contains an exhaustive list of available WikiDB features. Not all of these are documented elsewhere yet. I aim to ensure this page is always up-to-date with the latest features, even if the proper documentation doesn't appear until some time later.
Contents
Configuration settings
Used to configure how WikiDB works.
Maintenance scripts
Command-line scripts for creating, upgrading or maintaining the WikiDB database.

Built-in data types
Data types provided by WikiDB for use when defining tables. It is also possible for you to create custom data types, if necessary.
Meta-data fields
Extra fields that are included in each row of data, that may be referenced within the <repeat> tag.
- _SourceArticle
- _Row
Criteria operators
The following operators are available for use in any place where filter criteria may be specified. Note that when used in the criteria
attribute of the <repeat>
tag, you currently need to write >
as >
(due to the inherent restrictions on attribute values), so you may wish to use the alternative text-representation instead. Note that text-representations are case-insensitive.
