You can host a local version of the documentation server.
Install the gollum wiki server by following the instructions here.
You will also need to install the github-markdown extensions (typically gem install github-markdown).
From the documentation directory, launch the gollum server with the following command
gollum --h1-title --config rosetta_gollum_config.rb --port 7364
Then point your web browser at the following URL: http://localhost:7364
RosettaCommons members can get more information here.
Gollum allows two types of link markup: [[text like this|link target]] (reverse MediaWiki) and [text like this](link target). The first is preferred: the second looks like a complete link whether it is valid or not, but the first will redlink if the target does not exist.
The wiki has a git backend for diffs. It is better to try to separate sentences with endlines, so that git diffs will work most efficiently. Sentences ending with ". " are concatenated as part of one paragraph in the HTML.
