nini

nini is a wiki engine. It lets you create entries in html, and automatically builds backlinks between pages. Check the bottom of this page to see what these backlinks are. The pages generated by nini are static, allowing you to push the content anywhere. Ichi is a great place to do so! This site is created with nini, so don't hesitate to have a look around to better understand how it works!

how does nini work?

Let's start by the beginning. In nini, you create entries. They are normal html files with one added perk: they let you link to other entries using the following syntax:

[[my-page]]

Let's take an example, shall we? Let's imagine we'd like to create a page about coffee. With nini, it would look like that:

coffee.htm

<h1>Coffee</h1>
<p>
  This page is about coffee, my favorite food.
  My favorite way to make coffee is using an [[aeropress]]
</p>

Notice the [[aeropress]] part? This tells nini to:

Replace [[aeropress]] with a link to the aeropress entry
Add a backlink on the aeropress entry to the coffee one

That's really all there is. Let's take a look at how to install nini to start using it.
