You can publish pages on your hard disk without uploading them to a
web server. That's how I work, actually; I publish to another
directory, then rsync this up to my webserver whenever I want to
update my website.

It is also possible to publish directly to one's webserver through
TRAMP or some other remote-editing thing, but I spend a lot of time
offline, so I don't use that trick. =)

C-u M-x emacs-wiki-visit-published-file opens the published file
using find-file.

Hope that helps!
