The actual value doesn't matter, as long as "urlencoded=1" appears somewhere in the line.%0a%0a"text=" ''needs'' to have the markup text with newlines converted to "%250a" and percent signs converted to "%2525".%0a%0a-> In addition, ''PmWiki writes'' pages with '%3c' encoded as "%253c" (to help with security), but it doesn't require that %3c's be encoded that way in order to be able to read the page. More conversions are possible to be added in the future.%0a%0aIn order to let the [@(:pagelist :)@] markup work, make sure the filename begins with an uppercase letter.%0a%0aIn order to have the [@(:pagelist link= ... :)@] markup on other pages list this page, a third attribute is required:%0a%0a->[@%0atargets=GroupName1.Pagename1,GroupName2.Pagename2,...%0a@]%0a%0a"targets=" is a comma delimited list of all links from the current page.%0a%0a----%0a%0aKeys you could see in a raw PmWiki file:%0a%0a:'''version''': Version of PmWiki used to create the file %25comment%25 More???

Example:%0a%0a->[@%0aversion=pmwiki-2.1.0 ordered=1 urlencoded=1%0atext=This is a line.%250aThis is another.%0actime=1142030000%0a@]%0a%0a!! Keeping track of page history%0a%0aInside of a page file, PmWiki stores the latest version of the markup text, and uses this to render the page.  The page history is kept as a sequence of differences between the latest version of the page and each previous version.%0a%0aPmWiki normally puts the page history at the end of each page file in reverse chronological sequence, and sets the "ordered=1" items in the header.  If an operation needs only the most recent version of a page, then PmWiki will stop reading and processing a page file at the point where the history begins, potentially saving a lot of time and memory.  If the "ordered=1" flag isn't present, PmWiki makes no assumptions about the ordering of items in the pagefile and processes the entire file.%0a%0a!!
