Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install gitit on Fedora 34.

What is gitit

Gitit is a wiki backed by a git, darcs, or mercurial filestore. Pages and uploaded files can be modified either directly via the VCS’s command-line tools or through the wiki’s web interface. Pandoc is used for markup processing, so pages may be written in (extended) markdown, reStructuredText, LaTeX, HTML, or literate Haskell, and exported in ten different formats, including LaTeX, ConTeXt, DocBook, RTF, OpenOffice ODT, and MediaWiki markup. Notable features include * plugins “Network.Gitit.Interface”) * conversion of TeX math to MathML for display in web browsers * syntax highlighting of source code files and code snippets * Atom feeds (site-wide and per-page) * a library, “Network.Gitit”, that makes it simple to include a gitit wiki in any happstack application You can see a running demo at <http For usage information
