Un wiki comme carnet de cours

PmWiki / UTF-8

Summary: Enabling UTF-8 Unicode language encoding in your wiki.

UTF-8 supports all languages and alphabets, including Asian languages and their character depth. It is a widely supported and flexible character encoding, used for many European languages and can also represent Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

It's fairly simple to enable UTF-8 on your wiki pages. Current Pm Wiki versions have the UTF-8 file which needs to be enabled.

Enabling UTF-8 on a new wiki

If you start a new wiki in any language with the latest Pm Wiki version, it is highly recommended to enable UTF-8. In the future, Pm Wiki will change to use the UTF-8 encoding by default, so if you already use it, you will not need a complex "migration" to UTF-8 later.

To enable UTF-8 for a new wiki, add this line near the beginning of config.php:

  include_once("scripts/xlpage-utf-8.php");

This line should come before a call to the XL Page?() function in international wikis.

Enabling UTF-8 on existing wikis

Currently, this is possible only if your group and page names, as well as upload names, don't contain international characters. The names of wiki pages are used as file names, and we don't have yet an easy way to rename the disk files.

If your wiki doesn't have international page/file names, first upgrade to the latest Pm Wiki version. To enable UTF-8, add these lines near the beginning of config.php:

  include_once("scripts/xlpage-utf-8.php");
  $DefaultPageCharset = array(''=>'ISO-8859-1'); # see below

These lines should come before a call to the XL Page?() function in international wikis.

The $DefaultPageCharset line is there to fix and correctly handle some pages with missing or wrong attributes, created by older Pm Wiki versions.

You should also delete the file wiki.d/.pageindex. This file contains a cache of links and words from your pages and is used for searches and pagelists. Pm Wiki will rebuild it automatically with the new encoding.
