A·Muse·Wiki (also spelled Amusewiki or amusewiki) is a library-oriented wiki engine and publishing platform. It can work as a read-only site, as a moderated wiki, or as a fully open wiki.

It strives to be simple and yet powerful enough for long-term archiving of texts.

Full support for high-quality printing of the texts is one of the core features.

Features

• User-friendly markup borrowed from Emacs Muse

• Importing of HTML documents preserving most of the logical markup

• Wide range of output formats, including high-quality PDF (via LaTeX) and EPUB

• Automatic generation of PDF for printing, including imposition and crop marks

• Collection creation and PDF reformatting, with plenty of layout options

• Production of slides

• Texts are stored under revision control with Git

• Offline editing via Git

• Fast and accurate full-text search (with many available options)

• Multisite engine: on one instance you can run as many sites you want

• Embedded OPDS server

• Mail notifications

• RSS feed

• Localization via gettext (depending on the language, the coverage varies from complete to zero, but it's easy to add).

• Multilanguage on the same site is supported

• Syntax highlight via highlight.js

• Automatic db upgrades

• Packaged for debian with batteries included

Missing features (so far)

• no talks, comments, etc.

• no refined access control (only basic)

Every wiki has a sandbox, so here it is.

The code is written in Perl and is freely available (under the same terms as Perl itself) on github.
