wiki-column

wiki_columnwiki_column is a Ruby on Rails plugin that adds simple wiki functionality to your app. Wiki column allows you to specify a model that will act as your wiki storage, but then you can define any column to be a wiki column.

For instance, if you have a Product model that has a description. You could define description as a wiki_column, you could then use wiki syntax in that field and it would be formatted as such, including links to your wiki.

wiki_column uses RedCloth for basic formatting.

wiki_column is the result of web development work at Assay Depot.
