The following description works with mantis version 1.1.0rc2 and dokuwiki version 2007-06-26b. It based on this description, but extend the integration.

Grab the latest (2007-06-26b) version and install it. Make sure it is working properly.

For the syntax-plugin with support for the dokuwiki admin panel, you have to create several files:
