If a prefix is defined in both the `[interwiki]` section and InterMapTxt, the `[interwiki]` section takes precedence. + +In addition to traditional InterWiki links, where the target is simply ''appended'' to the URL, Trac supports parametric InterWiki URLs: +identifiers `$1`, `$2`, ... in the URL will be replaced by corresponding arguments. +The argument list is formed by splitting the page identifier using the ":" separator. + +=== [interwiki] + +Every option in the `[interwiki]` section in TracIni defines one InterWiki prefix. The option name defines the prefix. The option value defines the URL, optionally followed by a description separated from the URL by whitespace. Parametric URLs are supported as well. + +'''Example:''' +{{{#!ini +[interwiki] +MeatBall = http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl? +PEP = http://www.python.org/peps/pep-$1.html Python Enhancement Proposal $1 +tsvn = tsvn: Interact with TortoiseSvn +}}} + +== Examples + +If the following is an excerpt of the InterMapTxt page: + +{{{ += InterMapTxt = +== This is the place for defining InterWiki prefixes == + +Currently active prefixes: [[InterWiki]] + +This page is modelled after the MeatBall:InterMapTxt page. +In addition, an optional comment is allowed after the mapping. +---- +{{{ +PEP http://www.python.org/peps/pep-$1.html # Python Enhancement Proposal $1 +Trac-ML http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.subversion.trac.general/$1 # Message $1 in Trac Mailing List + +tsvn tsvn: # Interact with TortoiseSvn +... +MeatBall http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl? +MetaWiki http://sunir.org/apps/meta.pl? +MetaWikiPedia http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/ +MoinMoin http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/ +... +}}} +}}} + +Then, + * `MoinMoin:InterWikiMap` should be rendered as MoinMoin:InterWikiMap and the ''title'' for that link would be "!InterWikiMap in !MoinMoin". + * `Trac-ML:4346` should be rendered as Trac-ML:4346 and the ''title'' for that link would be "Message 4346 in Trac Mailing List". + +---- +See also: InterTrac, InterMapTxt
