13 TextFormattingRules%%%
14 __Emphasis:__ '____' for ''italics'', _''''_ for __bold__, '____'_''''_ =
16 __Lists:__ * for bullet lists, # for numbered lists, "; term : definition" =
17 for definition lists.%%%
18 __References:__ !JoinCapitalizedWords or use square brackets for a [[page =
19 link] or URL [[!http://cool.wiki.int/].%%%
20 __Footnotes:__ Use [[1],[[2],[[3],...%%%
21 __Preventing linking__ Prefix with "!": !!DoNotHyperlink, name links like =
22 [[[text | URL] (double up on the "[").%%%
23 __Misc__ "!", "!!", "!!!" make headings, "%%''''%" makes a linebreak, =
24 "-''''-''''-''''-" makes a horizontal rule.
29 * Don't indent paragraphs
30 * Words wrap and fill as needed
31 * Use blank lines as separators
32 * Four or more minus signs make a horizontal rule
33 * %%''''% makes a linebreak (in headings and lists too)
38 * asterisk for first level
39 ** asterisk-asterisk for second level, etc.
40 * Use * for bullet lists, # for numbered lists (mix at will)
41 * semicolon-term-colon-definition for definition lists:
42 ;term here:definition here, as in the <DL><DT><DD> list
43 * One line for each item
44 * Other leading whitespace signals preformatted text, changes font.
48 * '!' at the start of a line makes a small heading
49 * '!!' at the start of a line makes a medium heading
50 * '!!!' at the start of a line makes a large heading
54 * Indent with one or more spaces to use a monospace font:
61 * semicolon-colon -- works like <BLOCKQUOTE>
63 ;: this is an indented block of text
67 * Use doubled single-quotes ('____') for emphasis (usually ''italics'')
68 * Use doubled underscores (_''''_) for strong emphasis (usually __bold__)
69 * Mix them at will: __''bold italics''__
70 * ''Emphasis'' can be used ''multiple'' times within a line, but =
71 ''cannot'' cross line boundaries:
77 * Hyperlinks to other pages within the Wiki are made by placing the page =
78 name in square brackets: [this is a page link] or UsingWikiWords (preferred)
79 * Hyperlinks to external pages are done like this: [http://www.wcsb.org/]
80 * You can name the links by providing a name, a bar (|) and then the =
81 hyperlink or pagename: [PhpWiki home page | =
82 http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/] - [the front page | HomePage]
83 * You can suppress linking to old-style references and URIs by preceding =
84 the word with a '!', e.g. !NotLinkedAsWikiName, !http://not.linked.to/
85 * You can create footnotes by using [[1], [[2], [[3], ... like this here =
86 [1]. See footnote for counterpart. (If the [[ is in the first column, it =
87 is a footnote ''definition'' rather than a footnote ''reference'' [1].)
88 * Also, the old way of linking URL's is still supported: precede URLs with =
89 "http:", "ftp:" or "mailto:" to create links automatically as in: =
91 * URLs ending with .png, .gif, or .jpg are inlined if in square brackets, =
93 [http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki-wiki(1.3)/images/png.png]
97 * Simple tables are available. A table row is introduced by a __|__ in =
98 the first column. It is best described by example:
99 || _''''_Name_''''_ |v _''''_Cost_''''_ |v =
101 | _''''_First_''''_ | _''''_Last_''''_
102 |> Jeff |< Dairiki |^ Cheap |< Not worth it
103 |> Marco |< Polo | Cheaper |< Not available
105 || __Name__ |v __Cost__ |v __Notes__
106 | __First__ | __Last__
107 |> Jeff |< Dairiki |^ Cheap |< Not worth it
108 |> Marco |< Polo | Cheaper |< Not available
110 ;: Note that multiple __|__'s lead to spanned columns, and __v__'s can be =
111 used to span rows. A __>__ generates a right justified column, __<__ a =
112 left justified column and __^__ a centered column (which is the default.)
115 ! HTML Mark-Up Language
118 * < and > are themselves
119 * The & characters will not work
120 * If you really must use HTML, your system administrator can enable this =
121 feature. Start each line with a bar (|). Note that this feature is =
124 ! More detail than you want to know
126 See [MagicPhpWikiURLs] for gory details on how to write
127 various kind of wiki maintainance links.
133 [1] By using [[1] a second time (in the first column) the footnote itself =
134 is ''defined''. You may refer to a footnote as many times as you want, =
135 but you may only define it once on the page. Note the the [[1] in the =
136 footnote links back to the first reference, if there are multiple =
137 references there will be +'s after the [[1] which will link to the other =
138 references. (References which come ''after'' the footnote ''definition'' =
139 will not be linked to.)
