Initialise an empty [[WikiFolder|WikiFolders]] with a copy of the specified edition.

```
--init <edition>
```


For example:

```
tiddlywiki ./MyWikiFolder --init empty
```

Note:

* The "edition" defaults to ''empty''
* The init command will fail if the wiki folder does not exist, or is not empty
* The init command removes any `includeWikis` definitions in the edition's `tiddlywiki.info` file
