Questions answered by this recipe

How can I allow authors to display a Creative Commons license in pages?

Description

This recipe enables a (:license:) markup, which allows authors to embed common licensing links (such as Creative Commons licenses) into pages.

To install the recipe, simply download licenses.phpΔ into the cookbook/ directory, and then add the line below to a local customization file:

include_once('cookbook/licenses.php');

Once installed, the recipe enables the (:license:) markup, which can be used to display a variety of licenses based on its parameter:

(:license by-nc-nd:)   CC Attribution Non-commercial No Derivatives
(:license by-nc-sa:)   CC Attribution Non-commercial Share Alike
(:license by-nc:)      CC Attribution Non-commercial
(:license by-nd:)      CC Attribution No Derivatives
(:license by-sa:)      CC Attribution Share Alike
(:license by:)         CC Attribution
(:license pd:)         Public Domain
(:license:)            site default license, configured by $LicenseDefault
Example 1
(:license by-nc-sa:)
Creative Commons License

WikiStyles can be used to alter the appearance and behavior of the directive, thus

Example 2
%rframe newwin% (:license pd:)
Public Domain Dedication
