[pmwiki-users] skin template advice?

Wed Oct 23 08:03:16 CDT 2013

Instead of "requiring people to create new pages" you can bundle pages with
a skin.

They come in a folder inside of the skin, but once edited are part of the
standard page repository.

This also allows you to ship documentation pages, etc.
