     1= Support for InterWiki links
     2
     3== Definition
     4
     5An InterWiki link can be used for referring to a Wiki page located in another Wiki system, and by extension, to any object located in any other Web application, provided a simple URL mapping can be done.
     6
     7InterWiki prefixes can even be used to simply introduce links to new protocols, such as `tsvn:` used by [trac:TortoiseSvn TortoiseSvn].
     8
     9== Link Syntax
     10
     11{{{
     12<target_wiki>(:<identifier>)+
     13}}}
     14
     15The link is composed by the targeted Wiki (or system) name, followed by a colon, eg `MeatBall:`, followed by a page specification in the target.
     16Note that, as for InterTrac prefixes, '''InterWiki prefixes are case insensitive'''.
     17
     18The target Wiki URL is looked up in the `[interwiki]` section of TracIni or in the InterMapTxt wiki page, modeled after MeatBall:InterMapTxt. If a prefix is defined in both the `[interwiki]` section and InterMapTxt, the `[interwiki]` section takes precedence.
     19
     20In addition to traditional InterWiki links, where the target is simply ''appended'' to the URL, Trac supports parametric InterWiki URLs:
     21identifiers `$1`, `$2`, ... in the URL will be replaced by corresponding arguments.
     22The argument list is formed by splitting the page identifier using the ":" separator.
     23
     24=== [interwiki]
     25
     26Every option in the `[interwiki]` section in TracIni defines one InterWiki prefix. The option name defines the prefix. The option value defines the URL, optionally followed by a description separated from the URL by whitespace. Parametric URLs are supported as well.
     27
     28'''Example:'''
     29{{{#!ini
     30[interwiki]
     31MeatBall = http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?
     32PEP = http://www.python.org/peps/pep-$1.html Python Enhancement Proposal $1
     33tsvn = tsvn: Interact with TortoiseSvn
     34}}}
     35
     36== Examples
     37
     38If the following is an excerpt of the InterMapTxt page:
     39
     40{{{
     41= InterMapTxt =
     42== This is the place for defining InterWiki prefixes ==
     43
     44Currently active prefixes: [[InterWiki]]
     45
     46This page is modelled after the MeatBall:InterMapTxt page.
     47In addition, an optional comment is allowed after the mapping.
