A short reminder on formatting elements at your disposal:
| Linking | (Creating of page and web hyperlinks, interwiki links, footnote references) |
| [link] | Create a hyperlink, where "link" can be either thee name of an internal Wiki page or an external link ('http://...') |
| [the page] | Create a hyperlink to internal page called 'ThePage' (but show the link as typed with spaces). |
| [text|Page] | Create a hyperlink to 'Page', but display 'text' to the user. Use Wiki:link to point to a named Wiki ("Interwiki linking") |
| CamelLink | If automatic CamelCase linking is enabled (which is currently false), CamelCase words create links even without surrounding brackets. |
| Paragraph | - |
| !Heading | Start lines with exclamation marks (!, !!, or !!!) to create headings (!h4, !!h3, !!!h2) |
| * Text | Create a bulleted list item (* must be in first column). Use more (**, ***) for deeper indentations. |
| # Text | Create a numbered list item (# must be in first column). Use more (##, ###) for deeper indentations. |
| ;term:expl | Defines 'term' with explanation 'expl'. Use without term (;:Comment) to create short comments. |
| [1] | Footnotes: [#1] marks the footnote number 1[1] creates a reference to footnote numbered 1. |
| Inline | - |
| __text__ | Display text bold. |
| ''text'' | Display text in italics ('' are two single quotes/apostrophes) |
| %%(color:red)text%% | Format 'text' using CSS formatting commands. Complicated, but powerful if you really need it ... |
| %%sup text%% | Display superscripttext. |
| %%sub text%% | Display subscripttext. |
| Code | (code fragments or preformatted text) |
| {{text}} | Display text in monospaced font (= html:tt inline format). Other formatting rules may be used inside (bold, italic). |
| {{{text }}} | Use triple braces to use monospaced font and prevent any formatting rules to be applied. If starting on new line, a pre tag (= new paragraph) is used, else the formatting occurs inline. In a pre tag single line breaks are displayed and the text will not wrap in peoples browsers; be sure to insert hard line breaks! |
| Special | - |
| ---- | Horizontal line. At least four hyphen, more are ok. |
| \\ | Forced new line break |
| |text|more text| | Makes a table. Double bars for table headings. For empty cells use blanks between bars (i. e. | |, not ||). |
| Escaping | (handling of situation where the result of formatting command is undesirable. |
| ~[text] | Create plain text '[text]', i.e. not a hyperlink (alternative: use two opening brackets). |
| ~NoLink | If automatic CamelCase linking is enabled (which is currently false), link creation for a CamelCase word is prevented. |
| ~__term | Display '__term', avoid interpretation of underscores as beginning of bold face format. |
| ~\\ | Display '
', avoid interpretation as forced new line. |
Images may be embedded simply by creating a link to a URL or attachment. Links conforming with the approved formats (see WikiSystemInfo) will be displayed as inlined images.
The link text ([tooltip/alt-text|http://example.com/example.png] will be displayed as alt-text for those who cannot view images. For more control (size, adding hyperlinks or captions) you may use the Image plugin
, see Wiki Advanced FormattingHelp.
If html formatting is enabled (which is currently false) you can also directly use html constructs like ~<sup>.
