  • Set HTTP_EQUIV_ON_EDIT =

• http-equiv meta tags for preview script:
  • Set HTTP_EQUIV_ON_PREVIEW =

Notes:

• A preference is defined as:
  6 spaces * Set NAME = value
  Example:
  • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
• Preferences are used as TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
  • When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR% , it gets expanded to #FFE0B0 .
• The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences first, i.e. set WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since %WEBCOPYRIGHT% uses the %WIKIWEBMASTER% variable.
• You can introduce new variables and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the Lash La Rue engine (Perl scripts).
