== Welcome to Radiant

Radiant is a no-fluff, open source content management system designed for small teams. It is similar to Textpattern or MovableType, but is a general purpose content management system (not just a blogging engine).

Radiant features:

• An elegant user interface
• The ability to arrange pages in a hierarchy
• Flexible templating with layouts, snippets, page parts, and a custom tagging language (Radius: http://radius.rubyforge.org)
• A simple user management/permissions system
• Support for Markdown and Textile as well as traditional HTML (it's easy to create other filters)
• An advanced plugin system
• Operates in two modes: dev and production depending on the URL
• A caching system which expires pages every 5 minutes
• Built using Ruby on Rails
• And much more...
