type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki

[[TiddlyWikiFolders]] are configured with a single `tiddlywiki.info` file in the root of the wiki folder. It should contain a JSON object comprising the following properties:

* ''plugins'' - an array of plugin names to be included in the wiki
* ''themes'' - an array of theme names to be included in the wiki
* ''languages'' - an array of language names to be included in the wiki
* ''includeWikis'' - an array of references to external wiki folders to be included in the wiki
* ''build'' - a hashmap of named build targets, each defined by an array of command tokens (see BuildCommand)
* ''config'' - an optional hashmap of configuration options (see below)

!!! ''includeWikis''

The entries in the ''includeWikis'' array can be either a string specifying the relative path to the wiki, or an object with the following fields:

* ''path'' - relative path to wiki folder
* ''read-only'' - set //true// to prevent the tiddlers in the included wiki from being modified. The modifications will be written to the directory specified in ''default-tiddler-location'', described below

!!! ''build''

Note that the build targets of included wikis are merged if a target of that name isn't defined in the current `tiddlywiki.info` file.

!!! ''config''

Configuration options include:

* ''default-tiddler-location'' - a string path to the default location for the filesystem adaptor to save new tiddlers (resolved relative to the wiki folder)

* ''retain-original-tiddler-path'' - If true, the server will generate a tiddler [[$:/config/OriginalTiddlerPaths]] containing the original file paths of each tiddler in the wiki

!!! Example

For example:

```
{
	"plugins": [
		"tiddlywiki/tiddlyweb",
		"tiddlywiki/filesystem"
	],
	"includeWikis": [
		{"path": "../tw5.com", "read-only": true}
	],
	"build": {
		"index": [
			"--rendertiddler","$:/core/save/all","index.html","text/plain"],
		"favicon": [
			"--savetiddler","$:/favicon.ico","favicon.ico",
			"--savetiddler","$:/green_favicon.ico","static/favicon.ico"]
	},
	"config": {
		"retain-original-tiddler-path": true	
	}
}
