General
WikidPad is not only a personal desktop wiki, but it also allows to share or exchange information with others through a number of output facilities, like:
Publishing to html
A wiki can be published - or "exported" - to html, that can be opened by any standard browser.The function creates a completely "stand alone" local "website" in a folder of your choice, that you then can distribute to others.
