I looove Dokuwiki. It has been my personal notebook for well over a decade. I have 8 MB of text in it, and that only includes the current revisions of pages.
However, I recently started writing my own notebook/wiki because:
I want to convert and write my notes in Markdown so that I can copy and paste snippets between different services easily. I consider Markdown to be the Javascript of the markup syntaxes: it's a long way from the best solution, but it's what the world ended up choosing collectively. When I looked at the code, the whole thing seemed to be tightly coupled to Dokuwiki syntax. It may be possible with some hacking and/or extensions to switch Dokuwiki to Markdown but the same amount of effort could also be spent on just writing a new wiki with only the features I need.
I'm growing increasingly tired of having two scroll bars to deal with whenever I want to edit a page. This can be fixed with templates, probably, but I didn't look too closely into it given the lack of Markdown support.

I think it's great to write your own wiki, and encourage everyone to do so (I've done it more than once), but it's definitely not easier to do that than to modify Dokuwiki. 1. Dokuwiki syntax is included in Pandoc. 2. There's a plugin (I don't remember the name) that will allow you to not only create Dokuwiki pages in markdown, but let you use Dokuwiki syntax where it goes beyond markdown. My recollection is that it works by using markdown to override common components of the syntaxes while leaving the rest of Dokuwiki syntax unaffected.

- marcolussetti 6y agoI was in a similar situation, and found wiki.js.org to be perfect for my usecases. I write in markdown, and it syncs with a Git repository.
- zargon 6y agoEvery year or so I look for a new wiki that does markdown and git. I don't remember ever coming across wiki.js before. I need to check this out. Thanks for mentioning it.
