text=This page describes various terms related to PmWiki. ˛˛˛:page name: The ''page name'' is a string that PmWiki uses to refer to a page - i.e. it ''names the page''. This could also be considered a ''handle'' for the page. The variable for the page name is simply called [@{$Name}@], which for this page is @@{$Name}@@. ˛-> Note that there is no whitespace in page names, and by default PmWiki capitalizes each word in a page's name. There is however a variable [@{$Namespaced}@] where spaces have been inserted, e.g. for the page [=WikiSandbox=] this variable would be [@Wiki Sandbox@].˛-> Note that PmWiki also uses the page name to locate per-group and per-page customization files in the [@local/@] subdirectory. For example, browsing [=Main.WikiSandbox=] would cause [@local/Main.WikiSandbox.php@] and [@local/Main.php@] to be loaded if these files existed.˛˛:Page URI: Page names are used in `URIs to tell PmWiki which page is to be loaded or acted upon. The normal form of a page URI is usually one of these two˛--> [@http://www.example.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.WikiSandbox@]˛--> [@http://www.example.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main.WikiSandbox@]˛-> Note that various aliasing and rewriting tricks can be used to modify this, but PmWiki expects to obtain a page name from the parameter 'n' or from the [@PATH_INFO@] component following the URI of the script ([@pmwiki.php@]).˛-> Note that the parameter 'n' takes precedence over [@PATH_INFO@] if both are available.˛˛:Page file name: The ''page file name'' is the name of the file that normally stores the data of a page in the directory [@wiki.d/@]. This file name is normally built directly from the page name. ˛˛˛:full page name: The ''full page name'' consists of a group and a name, e.g. [@Main.WikiSandbox@]. The variable for the full page name is [@{$FullName}@], which for this page is @@{$FullName}@@. Similarly, the variable for the group is [@{$Group}@] which here is @@{$Group}@@.˛˛˛:page link: A ''page link'' is something that is used to generate a link to a page. For example, the markup [@[[wiki sandbox]]@], [@[[(wiki) sandbox]]@], [@WikiSandbox@], [@Main/WikiSandbox@], [@[[Main/wiki sandbox]]@], [@[[Main.WikiSandbox | click here]]@], etc all specify a link to the page '[=Main.wikiSandbox=]'.  In each case PmWiki uses the context of the link to generate a page name from the page link -- normally by capitalizing each word found in the link and stripping any characters that aren't considered valid in page names.˛˛˛:page title: A ''page title'' is the title element of a page, i.e. what is usually shown above the page and in the browser window's name. This title is normally set via the directive [@(:title:)@], but if no such directive is given the title will be automatically generated from the page name. The title of a page is accessed via either the variable [@{$Title}@] or the variable  [@{$Titlespaced}@]. The latter differs in that it uses the spaced version of the name.˛˛%trail%<<|[[PmWiki.Documentation Index]]|>>
