You can use any command-line text editor, as long as you precede the command to

run the text editor with sudo.

If you’re using Property List Editor or a non–command-line tool, open the theme.plist

located in your Documents folder.

4 Remove the selectable key and its value and then save the plist.

To remove the key using Property List Editor, select the selectable key and then click

Delete.

To remove the key using a text editor, remove the following lines:

<key>selectable</key>

5 If you copied theme.plist to your Documents folder, copy it back to the theme folder.

To copy this le, enter:

$ cp /Users/user_name/Documents/theme.plist theme_name.wikitheme/

6 Restart web service.

For more information, see “Starting Up Web Service” on page 23.

Editing CSS Files

Cascading Style Sheet (.css) les control how a wiki looks. By editing CSS les, you can

change display attributes for specic page elements. For example, you can change:

Color Â

Background color Â

Margin Â

Padding Â

Font size Â

If you’re skilled at editing CSS les, you can completely overhaul the look of the wiki by

changing its layout, removing unwanted visual elements, and adding visual elements.

When you edit a CSS le, your changes occur immediately; you don’t restart the server

or web service after editing. Because you might disrupt users by changing CSS les,

create, edit, and test them with a theme that isn’t in use.

There are many online sources of information about Cascading Style Sheets. These

websites should help you get started:
