Welcome to PmWiki!

This inclusion is too late for PmWiki to enable the needed headers and 
the meta tags.

index.php only needs <?php include_once('pmwiki.php');

You should have a file config.php in the pmwiki/local directory, and 
enable UTF-8 in that file.

There is a sample-config.php file in docs/, you can place it in local/ 
and rename it to config.php. It already has the xlpage-utf-8.php file 
included, and is heavily documented.
