!! UTF-8 characters are not properly displayed

You have pages with special characters like __ é __ , __ € __ or other characters that are not part of the Latin-1 code page.\\
There are a couple of things to check:
* are your files on disk in the proper encoding (UTF-8), check your Linux __LANG__ environment variable, try the cmd ''file Mypage.txt''
* is your tomcat (or other container) running with the __file.encoding__ Java System property, it should have value UTF-8, or be absent in which case it derives it's value from the LANG setting
* are your tomcat connectors properly configured, check ''<TOMCAT_HOME>/conf/server.xml'', your connector elements should have the __ URIEncoding="UTF-8" __  attribute.
* is there anything else between you and JSPWiki that can mess up your UTF-8 chars (webservers, proxies) ?  


!! How do I create a new Page?
Edit an existing page and add a link to the new Page you want like {{~[MyNewPage~]}} . Or type the name of the new page in the ''Quick Navigation'' field, hover over your mouse and click Edit.


!! How do I delete a Page?
First, you should be authorized to delete pages, look at your [jspwiki.policy|Wiki.Admin.Security]. 
If you are authorized, go to the Info Tab of the page, there you see a "Delete entire page" button. (if you're not authorized, you don't have that button :-) ).

!! What is the escape character in wiki text?
That is the tilde (~~) , typed here twice to escape itself.

!!What is the default user and password ?
There is no such thing.  When you first install JSPWiki using Install.jsp, an admin user and an admin group is created for you, the Install.jsp will also generate a random password.\\
If you have installed it on your own, you should create an Admin group and add your own user account to it.

!! How do I debug jspwiki?

In your [jspwiki-custom.properties|Configuration] (at the bottom) you can find the log4j configuration that is in use. Or you can find them in the log4j.properties file for your container if you have ''jspwiki.use.external.logconfig = true'' in your jspwiki-custom.properties.\\
These are normal log4j configuration statements, check the [log4j site|http://logging.apache.org/log4j] for details.
