5== Definition ==
6
7An InterWiki link can be used for referring to a Wiki page
8located in another Wiki system, and by extension, to any object
9located in any other Web application, provided a simple URL
10mapping can be done.
11
12At the extreme, InterWiki prefixes can even be used to simply introduce
13links to new protocols, such as `tsvn:` used by [trac:TortoiseSvn TortoiseSvn].
14
15== Link Syntax ==
16
17{{{
18<target_wiki>(:<identifier>)+
19}}}
20
21The link is composed by the targeted Wiki (or system) name,
22followed by a colon (e.g. `MeatBall:`),
23followed by a page specification in the target.
24Note that, as for InterTrac prefixes, '''InterWiki prefixes are case insensitive'''.
25
26The 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.
27
28In addition to traditional InterWiki links, where the target
29is simply ''appended'' to the URL,
30Trac supports parametric InterWiki URLs:
31identifiers `$1`, `$2`, ... in the URL
32will be replaced by corresponding arguments.
33The argument list is formed by splitting the page identifier
34using the ":" separator.
35
36=== [interwiki] ===
37Every 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.
38
39'''Example:'''
40{{{
41[interwiki]
42MeatBall = http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?
43PEP = http://www.python.org/peps/pep-$1.html Python Enhancement Proposal $1
44tsvn = tsvn: Interact with TortoiseSvn

47== Examples ==
48
49If the following is an excerpt of the InterMapTxt page:
50
51{{{
52= InterMapTxt =
53== This is the place for defining InterWiki prefixes ==
54
55Currently active prefixes: [[InterWiki]]
56
57This page is modelled after the MeatBall:InterMapTxt page.
58In addition, an optional comment is allowed after the mapping.

74Then,
75 * `MoinMoin:InterWikiMap` should be rendered as MoinMoin:InterWikiMap
76   and the ''title'' for that link would be "!InterWikiMap in !MoinMoin"
77 * `Trac-ML:4346` should be rendered as Trac-ML:4346
78   and the ''title'' for that link would be "Message 4346 in Trac Mailing List"
