Preferences for the TWiki Web

About this page

• Web preferences override site preferences set in Main.TWikiPreferences
• Most Web preferences can be overridden by user preferences (in a personal page like TWikiGuest in the Main web)
• Some Web preferences can also be overridden by topic (page) preferences
• Preferences are set using TWikiVariables (like %WEBBGCOLOR%)
