Using actions in Wikka pages
Table of Contents
About actions
Actions are small (or not so small) pieces of code that generate automatic content within a page. An action may provide simple content, or it may provide an interactive "service" with a form for user input.Post-formatter actions
since 1.3.6
There are two types of actions: Those that act on the wiki page prior to the markup being processed ("traditional" actions, designated by {{...}}), and the new post-formatter actions (designated by {{{...}}}). The main difference between the two is that the new post-formatter action can access the contents of the wiki page it's invoked in after the markup has been processed into HTML. For instance, the new {{{...}}} post-formatter action will generate a table of contents for all headings on a wiki page, and uses the id generated for each heading by the Wikka formatter. Since this can't happen prior to the page being rendered by the formatter, {{{...}}} must be implemented as a post-formatter action.Some actions are considered "core" and are essential to the functioning of Wikka as a WikiEngine. Others are better classified as "plugins", providing extra, less essential functionality. Of course, WikkaWiki comes bundled with all "core" actions and a nice collection of "plugins". Many Wikka users also make additional plugins available through the main site.
Using actions
To include an action in a page, simply edit the page and add the name of the action between double braces, e.g. {{myaction}}. Action names are case-insensitive.Many actions can be customized by providing extra parameters; a parameter must always have its value enclosed in double quotes, e.g. {{myaction par1="foo"}}. Unknown parameters are simply ignored; in some cases one or more parameters may be required. Multiple parameters are separated by spaces: {{myaction par1="foo" par2="bar"}}.
Content example:
Use {{wikkaversion}} to display the version of Wikka running this wiki:

Service example:
Use {{googleform}} to display a Google search form. You may add an optional q parameter to specify a default search query, as in {{googleform q="Wikka"}}:List of available actions
