Project 1: Wiki (Harvard CS50W via edX)

Objectives

• Build a Django/Markdown/HTML Wikipedia-like Application

Specification

• Entry Page. Visiting /wiki/TITLE, where TITLE is the title of an encyclopedia entry, should render a page that displays the contents of that encyclopedia entry.
• Index Page. Update index.html such that, instead of merely listing the names of all pages in the encyclopedia, user can click on any entry name to be taken directly to that entry page.
• Search. Allow the user to type a query into the search box in the sidebar to search for an encyclopedia entry.
• New Page. Clicking “Create New Page” in the sidebar should take the user to a page where they can create a new encyclopedia entry.
• Edit Page. On each entry page, the user should be able to click a link to be taken to a page where the user can edit that entry’s Markdown content in a textarea.
• Random Page. Clicking “Random Page” in the sidebar should take user to a random encyclopedia entry.
• Markdown to HTML Conversion. On each entry’s page, any Markdown content in the entry file should be converted to HTML before being displayed to the user. You may use the python-markdown2 package to perform this conversion, installable via pip3 install markdown2.
