Revision as of 19:45, 4 June 2010
With the following clues supplemented with the editing tools, you can build or edit good looking wiki pages. Here are some hints. Edit this page to see the source.
Contents |
Headings
Headings will automatically build a table of contents.
An equal sign beginning a line signifies a heading.
Start with a header signified by using 2 equals surrounding the ==Name== since the page title is already supplied.
Top level
Next smaller
And Further
Empty lines and Initial Spaces
Empty lines mean new paragraph.
If you want to start a new line
with no empty line between, use <br/>.
Initial spaces mean code example.
code1 code2 ... code3
Lists
Beginning *s mean Unordered List.
- one
- two
- 2 and 1/2
- and further
- 2 and 1/2
- three
Beginning # mean Numerically Ordered List
- one
- two
- 2 and 1/2
- and further
- 2 and 1/2
- three
A newline marks the end of the list.
- New numbering starts with 1.
Here's a definition list:
- Word
- Definition of the word
- A longer phrase needing definition
- Phrase defined
- A word
- Which has a definition
- Also a second one
- And even a third
Begin with a semicolon. One item per line; a newline can appear before the colon, but using a space before the colon improves parsing.
Font Effects
You can italicize text by putting 2
apostrophes on each side.
3 apostrophes will embolden the text.
5 apostrophes will embolden and italicize
the text.
(Using 4 apostrophes doesn't do anything
special --
the last pair are just
'left over ones' that are included
as part of the text.)
Links
Internal links are built surrounding the link name with two square brackets.
How to edit this Wiki
Use the pipe symbol to display one thing and link to another.
Click Me
External links are built much the same way using one square bracket.
