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
7At the extreme, InterWiki 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.

28'''Example:'''
29{{{
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.
