TWiki Web Preferences
The following settings are
web preferences of the
TWiki web. These preferences override the
site-level preferences in
TWiki.TWikiPreferences and
Public.TWikiPreferences, and can be overwritten by
user preferences (your personal topic, such as
TWikiGuest in the
Public web). These web preferences can be overridden by
topic preferences, e.g. preferences in individual topics.

Help on Preferences
- A preference setting is defined by:
3 or 6 spaces * Set NAME = value
Example:
- A preferences setting can be disabled with a # sign. Remove the # sign to enable a local customization. Example:
- Preferences are used as TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
- When you write variable
%WEBBGCOLOR%
, it gets expanded to #FFD8AA
- 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 your own preferences variables and use them in your topics and templates.
