This wiki is powered by PikeWiki. PikeWiki is written entirely in Pike, and uses a Pike-powered wiki markup engine for formatting specially written plain text as HTML.

Source code for PikeWiki can be found in the HG Repository.

Radeox is an open source Wiki rendering engine used by many popular Wikis, including SnipSnap. PikeWiki's markup format is almost identical to SnipSnap's, easing the transition for SnipSnap and xwiki users.
