Paragraphs
Don't indent paragraphs
Words wrap and fill as needed
Use blank lines as separators
Four or more minus signs make a horizontal rule
%%% makes a linebreak (in headings and lists too)
Lists
asterisk for first level
asterisk-asterisk for second level, etc.
Use * for bullet lists, # for numbered lists (mix at will)
semicolon-term-colon-definition for definition lists:
term here
definition here, as in the list
One line for each item
Other leading whitespace signals preformatted text, changes font.
Headings
'!' at the start of a line makes a small heading
'!!' at the start of a line makes a medium heading
'!!!' at the start of a line makes a large heading
Fonts
Indent with one or more spaces to use a monospace font:
This is in monospace
This is not
Indented Paragraphs
semicolon-colon -- works like
this is an indented block of text
Emphasis
Use doubled single-quotes ('') for emphasis (usually italics)
Use doubled underscores (__) for strong emphasis (usually bold)
Mix them at will: bold italics
Emphasis can be used multiple times within a line, but cannot cross line boundaries:
''this will not work''
References
Hyperlinks to other pages within the Wiki are made by placing the page name in square brackets: this is a page link
Aangeor UsingWikiWords (preferred)
Hyperlinks to external pages are done like this: http://www.wcsb.org/
You can name the links by providing a name, a bar (|) and then the hyperlink or pagename: PhpWiki home page - the
front page
You can suppress linking to old-style references and URIs by preceding the word with a '!', e.g.
NotLinkedAsWikiName, http://not.linked.to/
BAD URL -- remove all of <, >, ", [2], [3], [4] refer to remote references. Click EditLinks? on the edit form to enter
URLs. These differ from the newer linking scheme; references are unique to a page.
Also, the old way of linking URL's is still supported: precede URLs with "http:", "ftp:" or "mailto:" to create links
automatically as in: http://c2.com/
URLs ending with .png, .gif, or .jpg are inlined if in square brackets, by themselves:
HTML Mark-Up Language
Don't bother
< and > are themselves
The & characters will not work
If you really must use HTML, your system administrator can enable this feature. Start each line with a bar (|). Note that
this feature is disabled by default.
