This wiki uses the WikiCreole syntax.
Creole markup should be easy to remember. A measurement for this is the Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two rule. If you group the markup into functional areas, we almost archived that goal (If you count nowiki and preformatted as "advanced", and group horizontal rule to paragraphs we indeed did ;-) ):
Advanced: Nowiki, Placeholder
You can use Creole markup format when editing pages on this site.
Paragraphs are created by simply typing the text. To separate paragraphs, just leave an empty line between them. Line ends will be preserved inside paragraphs. You can use "\\" to force a line break most everywhere.
Emphasis can be marked //like this// or **like this**, to produce italic text or bold text.
Link to a [[wiki page]] will render as wiki page?. You can also use [[wiki page|different text]] that will show different text?. Web page addresses, like [[http://wikicreole.org|WikiCreole]] can be also used and will display as WikiCreole.
Images are included with {{http://www.wikicreole.org/templates/creole/images/viki.png|WikiCreole Logo}} , the text is displayed when the image cannot be shown. You can put images inside links: [[http://wikicreole.org|{{http://www.wikicreole.org/templates/creole/images/viki.png|WikiCreole Logo}}]].
No markup is in effect if you type text {{{like this}}}, or when you need several lines like this:
▼{{{
line 1
line 2
line 3
~}}}Headings are created like this:
== Section heading == === Subsection heading === ==== Subsubsection heading ====
Bullet lists are created like this:
* first item * second item ** first subitem of second item * third item
Numbered lists are made like this:
# first item # second item ## first subitem of second item # third item
Tables can be made easily:
| first row first column | first row second column | | second row first column | second row second column |
Horizontal line, like this one
---- can be used to separate parts of text, you just need to type:
----
This wiki also supports Iñtërnâtiônàlizætiøn.
Creole syntax test
---- The following is a test of WikiCreole:
The ending equal signs should not be displayed:
You can make things bold or italic or both or both.
Character formatting extends across line breaks: **bold, this is still bold. This line deliberately does not end in star-star.
Not bold. Character formatting does not cross paragraph boundaries.
You can use internal links? or external links, give the link a different? name.
Here's another sentence: This wisdom is taken from Ward Cunningham's? Presentation at the Wikisym 06.
Here's a external link without a description: http://www.wikicreole.org
Free links without braces should be rendered as well, like http://www.wikicreole.org/ and http://www.wikicreole.org/users/example.
Note: the implementation should not render foo:bar as italic! It's not enough to protect http://bar from being rendered as italic, because you can have much more protocols, for example jdbc:bar and ftp://file.
You can use this to draw a line to separate the page:
You can use lists, start it at the first column for now, please...
unnumbered lists are like
blank space is also permitted before lists like:
or you can number them
up to five levels
You can use nowiki syntax if you would like do stuff like this:
Guitar Chord C: ||---|---|---| ||-0-|---|---| ||---|-0-|---| ||---|---|-0-| ||---|---|---| ~}}} Note: if you look at the source code of the above, you see the escape char (tilde, ~ ) being used to escape the closing triple curly braces. This is to do nesting because all this text is enclosed in nowiki markup.
You can also use it inline nowiki in a sentence like this.
Normal asterisks: *not bold*
a tilde alone: ~
a tilde escapes itself: ~xxx
This should be a flower with the ALT text "this is a flower" if your wiki supports ALT text on images:
Tables are done like this:
| header col1 | header col2 |
|---|---|
| col1 | col2 |
| you | can |
| also | align it. |
You can format an address by simply forcing linebreaks:
My contact dates:
Pone: xyz
Fax: +45
Mobile: abc
| Header title | Another header title |
|---|---|
| //not italic text// | **not bold text** |
| italic text | bold text |
