Clean URLs

This assumes that your wiki is located in a place like example.com/wiki/. Put this in an .htaccess file in the root of your domain:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^wiki/(.*)$ wiki/index.php?title=$1 [PT,L,QSA]

In ~/web_root/wiki/LocalSettings.php add these lines:

$wgServer = "http://www.domain.com";
$wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1";

Add Code Highlighting (Geshi)

See GeSHiHighlight.

Download Geshi and put geshi.php and the geshi directory in your /extensions folder
Put this code in your extensions folder
Add the following line to LocalSettings.php:

include("extensions/GeSHiHighlight.php");

Geshi Usage

Surround code with tags from the following language array:

# $langArray = array("actionscript","ada","apache","asm","asp","bash",
# "caddcl","cadlisp","c","cpp","css","delphi",
# "html4strict","java","javascript","lisp", "lua",
# "nsis","oobas","pascal","perl","php-brief","php",
# "python","qbasic","sql","vb","visualfoxpro","xml");

For example, to highlight a section of PHP code, use:

<php>some code here</php>
