 +====== Support for InterWiki links ======
 +
 +//(since [[:milestone:0.10]])//
 +
 +===== Definition =====
 +
 +An InterWiki link can be used for referring to a Wiki page
 +located in another Wiki system, and by extension, to any object
 +located in any other Web application, provided a simple URL 
 +mapping can be done.
 +
 +At the extreme, InterWiki prefixes can even be used to simply introduce
 +links to new protocols, such as `tsvn:` used by TortoiseSvn.
 +
 +===== Link Syntax =====
 +
 +<code>
 +<target_wiki>(:<identifier>)+
 +</code>
 +
 +
 +The link is composed by the targeted Wiki (or system) name,
 +followed by a colon (e.g. `MeatBall:`),
 +followed by a page specification in the target.
 +Note that, as for InterTrac prefixes, **InterWiki prefixes are case insensitive**.
 +
 +The target Wiki URL is looked up in the InterMapTxt wiki page, 
 +modelled after MeatBall:InterMapTxt.
 +
 +In addition to traditional InterWiki links, where the target
 +is simply //appended// to the URL, 
 +Trac supports parametric InterWiki URLs:
 +identifiers `$1`, `$2`, ... in the URL
 +will be replaced by corresponding arguments.
 +The argument list is formed by splitting the page identifier
 +using the ":" separator.
 +
 +===== Examples =====
 +
 +If the following is an excerpt of the InterMapTxt page:
 +
 +<code>
 +====== InterMapTxt ======
 +===== This is the place for defining InterWiki prefixes =====
 +
 +Currently active prefixes: [[:[InterWiki]]]
 +
 +This page is modelled after the MeatBall:InterMapTxt page.
 +In addition, an optional comment is allowed after the mapping.

 +
 +</code>
 +
 +
 +Then, 
 +  * `MoinMoin:InterWikiMap` should be rendered as MoinMoin:InterWikiMap
 +   and the //title// for that link would be "!InterWikiMap in MoinMoin"
 +  * `Trac-ML:4346` should be rendered as Trac-ML:4346
 +   and the //title// for that link would be "Message 4346 in Trac Mailing List"
