Gitit is a wiki program written in Haskell. It uses Happstack for the web server and pandoc for markup processing. Pages and uploaded files are stored in a git, darcs, or mercurial repository and may be modified either by using the VCS's command-line tools or through the wiki's web interface.
Key Features
- Written in Haskell; uses Happstack for the web server and pandoc for markup processing.
- Pages and uploaded files stored in a git, darcs, or mercurial repository and editable via VCS or web UI.
- Default markup is Pandoc's extended Markdown; supports reStructuredText, LaTeX, HTML, DocBook, and Org-mode.
- TeX math support via texmath and syntax highlighting via highlighting-kate.
- Plugins enabling dynamic page transformations written in Haskell.
- Categories and Atom feeds.
- Caching for performance.
- A library Network.Gitit to embed a wiki in Happstack apps.
Use Cases
- Host private or public wikis for team documentation with Git-backed storage.
- Create educational wikis or course notes with math and code highlighting.
- Publish lightweight project docs or knowledge bases with a web interface.
Conclusion: Gitit provides a compact, version-controlled wiki workflow with Pandoc-based authoring and pluggable extensions. It is well-suited for personal, team, or small-scale documentation needs.
