+====Add text from a file with wrapping====
+You have text you want to add to a wiki page, and you want to make sure that it's inserted with line wraps.
+For example if you have the text
+<code>
+:29:43 message to everyone:
+	Sabine Hossenfelder (born 1976) is a German professional YouTuber, theoretical physicist, science communicator, author, musician, and singer. She is the author of Lost in Math: How beauty leads physics astray, which explores the concept of elegance in fundamental physics and cosmology, and of Existential Physics: A scientist’s guide to life’s biggest questions.
+</code>
+But you want it to look like this, note that you don't have to scroll left and right to read the whole line:
+<WRAP prewrap>

+</WRAP>
+You surround the lines as follows:

+When the wiki processes this, it'll do the line wrapping on the Sabine line.
+====Change the wiki logo====
+The logo is a 128x128 pixel file named wiki:logo.png
+Consider using https://looka.com to create your logo then use your photo editing software (e.g., Photoscape X) to fine-tune and save it as a 128x128 pixel .png.
+====== How to Detect Changes to a Doku Wiki ======
+Doku wiki offers several ways for users to be notified when changes are made:
+==== 1. RSS/Atom Feeds (Built-in Feature) ====
+DokuWiki automatically generates RSS or Atom feeds for tracking changes.
+  * **Recent Changes Feed**: Users can subscribe to the feed to see all recent changes across the wiki.
+    - URL: `https://yourwiki.com/feed.php`  (for this wiki: `https://wiki.toku.us/feed.php`)
+  * **Page-Specific Feed**: For updates on a single page, append `?do=recent` to the page URL.
+Make sure RSS feeds are enabled in the wiki settings.\\
+Users can use any RSS reader to subscribe.
+  * Examples: [[https://Feedly.com|Feedly]], [[https://www.Inoreader.com|Inoreader]], or desktop readers like NetNewsWire.
+  * Users subscribe to a website’s RSS feed by providing the feed URL as above
+==== 2. Email Notification (Subscription Feature) ====
+Users can subscribe to specific pages or the entire wiki to receive email updates when changes are made.
+  * To subscribe, click the **"Subscribe"** link in the page toolbar.
+  * Notifications will be sent whenever subscribed pages are edited.
+Make sure email notifications are enabled in the wiki settings (`$conf['notify']` in `conf/dokuwiki.php`).
+==== 3. Using the Watch Plugin ====
+The [Watch Plugin](https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:watch) provides advanced notification options:
+  * Users can "watch" specific pages or entire namespaces.
+  * Notifications are sent automatically when watched pages are updated.
+==== 4. ChangeLog or Recent Changes Page ====
+Users can manually check the **"Recent Changes"** page to see a log of recent edits.
+  * Add a link to the Recent Changes page in your navigation for easy access.
+==== 5. Webhooks or Custom Scripts ====
+For advanced integrations, you can use webhooks or custom scripts to send notifications to services like Slack or Discord. This requires additional setup by the administrator.
+---
+These options make it easy to stay informed about updates to a Doku wiki.
