To save DokuWiki pages as .md files, you must use the MarkdownExtra plugin, 
as DokuWiki natively requires pages to have a .txt extension. 

Plugin Installation: Install the markdownextra plugin (available on GitHub or 
Bitbucket) to enable native Markdown parsing within DokuWiki. 

File Naming Convention: Save your files with a dual extension, specifically .md.txt 
(e.g., page.md.txt).  DokuWiki requires the .txt suffix to recognize the file as a 
valid wiki page, while the plugin uses the .md suffix to trigger Markdown parsing. 
Usage: Pages ending in .md are automatically parsed using PHP Markdown Extra.  You 
can also embed Markdown content in other pages using a specific markdown block.

Front Matter: The plugin supports front matter (text blocks delimited by ---) at 
the top of .md pages, which allows metadata to be placed outside the rendered HTML, 
enabling compatibility with plugins like tag. 

• Dokuwiki not a supported package in Synology DSM 7.

• Copied this install to both macqueen.us/dokuwiki and allthatjas.us/dokuwiki and all was well.
• going to 10.0.0.124 in a web browser lands you in /volume1/web
• both wikis are dmmacq s1 u2
• wiki name is in conf/local.php

• Many many problems upgrading to current version.
