Creating Subpages #
Subpages are groups of pages that share a common prefix, which itself is another page. While this is also possible with "classic" wiki, by using names like SomeTopicSubTopic, the use of SomeTopic/SubTopic allows better navigational support, and you can omit the common prefix when linking from the parent page to the child page.
Thus, by using "/" to concatenate several WikiNames, you can create arbitrarily deep hierarchies (within limits, especially the length of filenames on your system). In reality, subpages are normal pages that contain a "/" in their name, and thus they are stored besides all other pages in the file system.
Links to sibling pages start with "../", for example ../SubPages (a link to this page).
Example #
* HelpOnSubPages/SubPages * [wiki:HelpOnSubPages/SubPages sub page] * /ThirdLevel * [wiki:/ThirdLevel A page below this one] * ../HelpOnSubPages * ["../"] (anonymous parent link) * [wiki:../ free parent link]
Display #
- HelpOnSubPages/SubPages
- sub page
- /ThirdLevel
- A page below this one
- ../HelpOnSubPages
- ../ (anonymous parent link)
- free parent link

Please do all of us a favour and don't create the /ThirdLevel pages, it's just an example!
