Text on this wiki is, by default, written in a form very close to how you
|
|
might write text for an email message. This style of text formatting is
|
|
called [[MarkDown]], and it works like this:
|
|
|
|
Leave blank lines between paragraphs.
|
|
|
|
You can *\*emphasise\** or **\*\*strongly emphasise\*\*** text by placing it
|
|
in single or double asterisks.
|
|
|
|
To create a list, start each line with an asterisk:
|
|
|
|
* "* this is my list"
|
|
* "* another item"
|
|
|
|
To make a numbered list, start each line with a number (any number will
|
|
do) followed by a period:
|
|
|
|
1. "1. first line"
|
|
2. "2. second line"
|
|
2. "2. third line"
|
|
|
|
To create a header, start a line with one or more `#` characters followed
|
|
by a space and the header text. The number of `#` characters controls the
|
|
size of the header:
|
|
|
|
# # h1
|
|
## ## h2
|
|
### ### h3
|
|
#### #### h4
|
|
##### ##### h5
|
|
###### ###### h6
|
|
|
|
To create a horizontal rule, just write three or more dashes or stars on
|
|
their own line:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
To quote someone, prefix the quote with ">":
|
|
|
|
> To be or not to be,
|
|
> that is the question.
|
|
|
|
To write a code block, indent each line with a tab or 4 spaces:
|
|
|
|
10 PRINT "Hello, world!"
|
|
20 GOTO 10
|
|
|
|
To link to an url or email address, you can just put the
|
|
url in angle brackets: <<http://ikiwiki.info>>, or you can use the
|
|
form \[link text\]\(url\)
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
In addition to basic html formatting using [[MarkDown]], this wiki lets
|
|
you use the following additional features:
|
|
|
|
* To link to another page on the wiki, place the page's name inside double
|
|
square brackets. So you would use `\[[WikiLink]]` to link to [[WikiLink]].
|
|
|
|
[[!if test="enabled(smiley) and smileys" then="""
|
|
* Insert [[smileys]] and some other useful symbols. :-)
|
|
"""]]
|
|
|
|
[[!if test="enabled(shortcut) and shortcuts" then="""
|
|
* Use [[shortcuts]] to link to common resources.
|
|
|
|
\[[!wikipedia War\_of\_1812]]
|
|
"""]]
|
|
|
|
[[!if test="enabled(template) and templates" then="""
|
|
* Create and fill out [[templates]] for repeated chunks of
|
|
parameterized wiki text.
|
|
"""]]
|
|
|
|
* Insert various [[directives|directive]] onto a page to perform useful
|
|
actions.
|
|
[[!if test="enabled(toc) or enabled(meta) or enabled(inline)" then="""
|
|
For example, you can:
|
|
"""]]
|
|
|
|
[[!if test="enabled(toc)" then="""
|
|
* Add a table of contents to a page:
|
|
|
|
\[[!toc]]
|
|
"""]]
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[!if test="enabled(meta)" then="""
|
|
* Change the title of a page:
|
|
|
|
\[[!meta title="full page title"]]
|
|
"""]]
|
|
|
|
[[!if test="enabled(inline)" then="""
|
|
* Create a blog by inlining a set of pages:
|
|
|
|
\[[!inline pages="blog/*"]]
|
|
"""]]
|
|
|
|
[[!if test="enabled(listdirectives)" then="""
|
|
