Bringing Back the Original Charm: Updates to Writr
Author(s): Louis Ouellet
The Writr theme has always been known for its clean, modern aesthetic, popularized by its distinctive title styling on WordPress. In updating the Writr template for DokuWiki, I wanted to preserve this unique look while ensuring the template’s functionality works seamlessly with DokuWiki’s features. This update not only revives the original post and page title styling from WordPress but also introduces support for the include plugin, bringing new levels of flexibility and usability to your DokuWiki pages.
Enhancing Mobile Responsiveness: Updates to Writr
In a world where smartphones are our primary devices, it’s essential for tools like DokuWiki to deliver a seamless mobile experience. I maintain three separate DokuWiki instances for different projects, all using the Writr template, which was originally based on a WordPress theme of the same name. DokuWiki has become invaluable for creating, sharing, and organizing documentation collaboratively — something I consider crucial for any business.
The Writr template itself started as a conversion of a WordPress theme to fit DokuWiki. However, WordPress and DokuWiki serve quite different purposes, each optimized for its own unique style of content management. As the maintainer of the Writr template, I saw room for improvement to make DokuWiki more user-friendly on smaller screens, enhancing usability and accessibility for both myself and others who rely on this template for business documentation.
