Be warned that it's a lot of nasty regular +expressions, because nothing other than Trac really understand's +Track's Wiki format. + +Trac's landing page is always called [WikiStart](wikistart.html). + +Pelican's [automatically-generated index](pelican-index.html) is the +default Pelican landing page, but we had to move it aside to make room +for this one. + +For the initial conversion we just use Pelican's default theme. +There's a *lot* of room to adjust the appearance, and a lot of +[example themes already available for Pelican](http://pelicanthemes.com/). + +Similarly, we don't do anything with Pelican's "category" mechanism +because it has no direct analogue in TracWiki. See [the Pelican +documentation](https://docs.getpelican.com/en/stable/) for details on +how to use the category mechanism, or how to disable it completely. + +Feel free to clean all of this up, this page is just a placeholder to +make it easy to navigate the converted wiki until a human takes over. + |
