*%WIKITOOLNAME%.%WEB% Web Preferences*

The following settings are __web preferences__ of the %WIKITOOLNAME%.%WEB% web. These preferences overwrite the __site-level preferences__ in %TWIKIWEB%.%WIKIPREFSTOPIC%, and can be overwritten by __user preferences__ (your personal topic, i.e. %MAINWEB%.TWikiGuest in the %WIKITOOLNAME%.%MAINWEB% web)


__Preferences:__

	* List of topics of the %WIKITOOLNAME%.%WEB% web:
		* Set WEBTOPICLIST = %WEB% . {
				<a href="%HOMETOPIC%">Home</a> 
			 | <a href="WelcomeGuest">Welcome</a> 
			 | <a href="TWikiRegistration">Register</a> 
			 | <a href="WebChanges">Changes</A>
			 | <a href="WebIndex">Index</A>
			 | <a href="WebSearch">Search</a>
			 | Go <input type="text" name="topic" size="16">
		  }

	* Web specific background color:
		* Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFE0B0

	* Exclude web from a =web="all"= search: (Set to =on= for hidden webs)
		* Set NOSEARCHALL =

__Notes:__
	* A preference is defined as: <br> =6 spaces * Set NAME = value= <br> Example:
		* S<nop>et WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
	* Preferences are used as %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
		* When you write variable =%WEB<nop>BGCOLOR%= , it gets expanded to =%WEBBGCOLOR%= .
	* The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences first, i.e. set =<nop>WEBCOPYRIGHT= before =<nop>WIKIWEBMASTER= since =%<nop>WEBCOPYRIGHT%= uses the =%<nop>WIKIWEBMASTER%= variable.
	* You can introduce new preferences variables and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the %WIKITOOLNAME% engine (Perl scripts).

__Related Topics:__
	* %TWIKIWEB%.%WIKIPREFSTOPIC% has site-level preferences.
	* %MAINWEB%.%WIKIUSERSTOPIC% has a list of user topics. User topics can have optional user preferences.
	* %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiVariables has a list of common =%<nop>VARIABLES%= .
