Atomic Wiki organizes content into sections and articles. A section may contain several articles. One article may be defined as the entry (or index) page for the section.
The URL uniquely identifies a section or an article. A section URL ends with a /. For example, the URL http://localhost:8080/exist/apps/wiki/test/ will display the entry page of section "test" or - if no entry page is defined - all articles within the section.
To access an article within a section, append the short ID of the article to the section URL. For example: http://localhost:8080/exist/apps/wiki/test/MyTest. A article URL will never end with a /.
Creating a New Section
If you just installed the wiki from the eXist-db repository, you should be able to log in as user "editor" with password "editor". This is the default wiki admin user.
To create a new section, log in and enter a section URL into your browsers location bar. If the section does not yet exists (and you are logged in), you will be presented with a form, asking for a title for the section.
Creating a new section
Enter a title and click the store button. The section will be created and the browser will show a new, empty page. To create your first article, select New HTML Article from the Section dropdown menu:
Section dropdown menu
This will open the editor. You must now provide a title and a short name. The short name is used to uniquely identify the article. This is the name which will appear in URLs.
If you want to use the article as the entry page for the section, select the Index Page checkbox.
The Menu Index determines if an how the article will appear in the main section menu at the head of the page. Leave it empty or set it to 0 to not show the article in the menu. A positive number will render the article heading as a main menu entry. A Menu Index of e.g. "1.1" will show the article as first item in the dropdown menu below the first main menu entry.

Storage
All content is stored in the form of Atom feeds in the data collection of the application. Every article consists of two documents, whose file name corresponds to the short name of the article:
shortname.atom contains the article's metadata
shortname.html contains the HTML of the article
Due to the simple structure of the data collection it is not a problem to directly edit the HTML using an external editor with WebDAV support (e.g. oXygen).
