Character Formatting

Emphasis

  • '''''Five apostrophes''''' = Five apostrophes

Code

Code may be entered as monospace lines by beginning a line with a space. Formatting is preserved. For example:

for(int a=0;a<1;a++)
   {
     do_something();
   }    

HTML and Wiki-code is still processed in monospace lines.

URLs, Links

This is quite easy, use single [] or double [[ ]].

  • Internal links: [[Support Home]] = Support Home .
  • External links as footnotes: [http://mozilla.org/] = [1].
  • Named external links: BitchShut up</nowiki> = Shut up.
  • Any trick with anchors works in the wiki too.

Document structure

Section headers: =Header Example= gives you a kick:

Header Example

which will add an entry to the table of contents. Subsections: in order to have subsections, add one more equal sign to both sides of the code (====Subheader Example - 01====) (====Subheader Example - 02====) (====Subheader Example - 03====) (====Subheader Example - 04====)

Lists

Lists: *,# at the beginning of a line gives

  • Unordered list
  1. Ordered list

For levels of lists, add more *,#s:

    • Unordered list
    1. Ordered list

Indented Text

When you use the : (colon) at the beginning of a line it will be indented.
For example:

:Hello I am the indented line
:Hello I am the next indented line.

Gives:

Hello I am the indented line
Hello I am the next indented line.

Tables

Tables are explained on a separate page.

Miscellaneous

  • For those of us that like center aligned text: <center>'''Me'''</center>

gives you:

Me

Signatures

  • Sign with nickname: ~~~ = Heroist .
  • Nickname and date: ~~~~ = Heroist 09:27, 31 Jan 2004 (PST).
