Changing page types

OutWiker supports various page types: plain text pages, HTML pages, wiki pages, and global search pages. Additionally, some plugins, such as Markdown and WebPage, introduce new page types.

Currently, there is no way to change a page type via the graphical user interface after the page has been created. However, you can change the page type by editing the contents of the __page.opt file within the page directory. To do this, open the file in a text editor and change the type parameter value in the [General] section. The possible values are listed below. Here are the currently supported built-in page types:

text — Text page
html — HTML page
wiki — Wiki page
search — Search page

Page types supported via plugins:

markdown — Markdown page (Markdown plugin)
web — Web page (WebPage plugin)

If you are editing the settings file of a page within the currently open note tree, remember to reload the note tree.

Change page types with caution, as the __page.opt file may contain different parameters for different page types, and the content of the __page.text file may also vary.
