DokuWiki comes with an example .htaccess.dist - just rename it and look
at the comments inside. Should be pretty obvious what to do. If not, see
wiki:rewrite.

DokuWiki docs will usually start with a general description of a
feature and how to use it as a user. Then a more indepth description of
how a feature is implemented follows. This is to help people who like
to make full use of the Open Source nature of DokuWiki by modifying the
code to their likeness.
