Visiting /wiki/TITLE, where TITLE is the title of an encyclopedia entry, displays the content of that specific entry.
The homepage shows a list of all available encyclopedia pages. Users can click on any entry to access its corresponding page.
Users can create new encyclopedia entries. They can input the content in Markdown format using a textarea.
Each entry page provides a link to edit the content of that entry. Clicking the link takes the user to a page where they can modify the Markdown content.
Users can explore a randomly selected encyclopedia entry by clicking the "Random Page" option.
Markdown content in each entry is converted to HTML before being displayed. This conversion is performed using the python-markdown2 package, which can be installed via pip3 install markdown2.
To run the project locally, follow these steps:
