Ask HN: Markdown-capable wiki software?

Posted by avree on Wednesday July 06, 2011 @08:21PM

I'm trying to find a good wiki tool that is Markdown-capable and has access control options to hold design documents and general information. Google Sites doesn't work for this. Any suggestions?

Gollum

It's the wiki that powers Github, so you use it with Git and it's markdown enabled. I thought it was a pretty great tool

http://www.WikiMatrix.org compares wiki software. http://goo.gl/saome shows the "Top 25 Wikis" Markdown support.

I think Ikiwiki will do Markdown. Have not used Ikiwiki myself, but was quite impressed with their page on security, which is a good sign of overall competence.

I use ikiwiki extensively and it's exactly what you want, and incredibly awesome and fully featured.
