Used in combination, these give a lot of flexibility.%0a%0a:[[WikiWord]]:The most powerful organizing principle is the author's choice of page names. When a search returns a list of pages, their names need to be clear enough to guide a visitor to the right place.%0a%0a:[[WikiPage]]:A page with text (and images), where the text can contain for instance [[WikiWord]]s that automatically becomes a link to another WikiPage.%0a%0a:[[WikiGroup]]:PmWiki requires every page to be a member of a group. A group is like a wiki within a wiki; it can have its own presentation look, security controls and navigation aids. With default configuration, [[WikiWord]]s are only searched inside the current group, and you use either [@OtherGroup/MyWikiWord@] or [@OtherGroup.MyWikiWord@] to refer to pages in other groups (see [[Links]]).%0a%0a:[[WikiTrails]]:A collection of pages, either in the same group or across multiple groups, can be designated as a trail. A visitor can move from stop to stop by clicking on ''next'' and ''previous'' links.%0a%0a:[[Categories]]:Individual wiki pages can also be grouped by having tags and links to a common "category" page; we say that any pages that link to a common page are in a "category" defined by that page. PmWiki uses the [@[[!category]]@] markup as a shorthand to place a page into a category with other pages containing the same markup.%0a%0a%25trail%25%3c%3c|[[Documentation Index]]|>> time=1142123534
