Starting with version 0.6.1, PmWiki uses template files (located in
pub/skins/) to determine the layout of the HTML.

Using the special comment <!--PageEditFmt--> in your template says "only
use the following section of HTML when in edit mode". Basically, this
section in your template defines the $PageEditFmt variable.

As far as I recall, a cookie is set on the user's browser so that each
time she edits a page, her username is put into the Author field. It's
not just grabbing the Author from the last edit of that page.
