The syntax is @/app/controller/function/args maps into
URL('app','controller','function',args=args) and you can omit
app/controller and args. Thus simply @///function. This can be used as an
URL anywhere in the markmin source. If it is the URL of an image or a video
or an audio, file, markmin will embed the content sing the appropriate tag
(<img>, <video>, <audio>).

How do you update them? The html is cached in db but should be updated when
you use the edit action.

No. But it should be exposed by one single web2py action.

No, unless you set permissions=True. The caveat is that when you first
start the app there are no wiki pages so nothing to see. Web2py assumes you
must create some pages and therefore requires login to do that. After you
create some pages (or only one), then they can be accessed publicly (unless
permissions=True and you set restrictions on individual pages).
I will soon document this in the book a little better.
