Paragraphs


  • Don't indent paragraphs
  • Words wrap and fill as needed
  • Use blank lines as separators
  • Four or more minus signs (4 x -) make a horizontal rule
  • 3 x % makes a linebreak (in headings and lists too)

  • You can paste text and enclose it between <text> tags to avoid having to make line breaks (%NaV) in every line, but keeping the formatting:
<text>
These are
independent
lines.
</text>



Lists


  • asterisk for first level
    • asterisk-asterisk for second level, etc.
  • Use * for bullet lists, # for numbered lists (mix at will)
  • semicolon-term-colon-definition for definition lists:
term here
definition here, as in the <DL><DT><DD> list

  • One line for each item
  • Other leading whitespace signals preformatted text, changes font.

Name 1990: bibliographic entry, with destination anchor.

Headings


  • '!!!' at the start of a line makes a small heading
  • '!!' at the start of a line makes a medium heading
  • '!' at the start of a line makes a large heading

Fonts


  • Indent with one or more spaces to use a monospace font:

This is in monospace, and will be formatted and WikiLinked.
This is not

  • You can also make inline monospace with #inline monospace#___.

  • Lines starting with two bars (a bar is: |) are unformatted and monospaced:
not formated or WikiLinked

  • You can make small fonts with -small fonts-___

  • You can make subscripts M_a or superscripts N
    +> with M_a and N
    +^___

  • You can paste lines of code by enclosing them with <code> tags in independent lines:

<code>

 10 REM __not formatted__ or WikiLinked
20 PRINT "home"
30 PRINT "sweet"
40 GOTO 20
</code>

Indented Paragraphs


  • semicolon-colon — works like <BLOCKQUOTE>

this is an indented block of text



Emphasis


  • Use doubled single-quotes (___) for emphasis (usually italics)
  • Use doubled underscores (__) for strong emphasis (usually bold)
  • Mix them at will: bold italics
  • Use '*use colors*'"blue" to use colors, or other colors
  • Use <<<highlighting>>> to obtain highlighting.
  • Use '=this=' to strike-out.
  • Emphasis can be used multiple times within a line, but cannot cross line boundaries:

''this
will not work''

%This centers text%___


Equations


You can insert LaTeX? equations like this:

{$ a = \frac {\sqrt n}{\pi} $} will render a = \frac {\sqrt n}{\pi}

This uses mimeTeX, read its user guide (external link), and a tutorial (external link) that is also a reference guide.

Tables

Simple tables can be inserted like this:

<table>
a
b
c
1
2
3
</table>

will render

a b c
1 2 3


Sign editions


Type four tildes ~~~~ to sign an edition like this:

Jose Viña (SVI) 2006-02-06 17:37:49


HTML Mark-Up? Language


  • It is disabled in this wiki.
  • &, < and > are themselves,
  • but you can also type Special Html Characters using &#;
  • The exception is the pseudo-html <code> <text> and <table> tags mentioned above.

References

  • Hyperlinks to other pages within the Wiki are made by placing the page name in square brackets: this is a page link or UsingWikiWords (preferred)
  • Hyperlinks to external pages are done like this: http://www.wcsb.org/ (external link)
  • You can name the links by providing a name, a bar (|) and then the hyperlink or pagename: PhpWiki home page (external link) - the front page
  • You can suppress linking to old-style references and URIs by preceding the word with a '!!!', e.g. NotLinkedAsWikiName?, http://not.linked.to/ (external link)
  • Bibliography references can be typed like Name 1990, and they will link to the corresponding entry as shown in the lists above.
  • [http://support.svi.nl/wiki/NightlyBuilds%2A&hilite=%28night%29 | 1], [http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/links/doi/10.1046/j.1365-2818.2002.01068.x/abs/ | 2], 3, 4 refer to remote references. Click EditLinks on the edit form to enter URLs. These differ from the newer linking scheme; references are unique to a page.
  • Also, the old way of linking URL's is still supported: precede URLs with "http:", "ftp:" or "mailto:" to create links automatically as in: http://c2.com/ (external link)
  • URLs ending with .png, .gif, or .jpg are inlined if in square brackets, by themselves: See Posting Images
