Help on formatting
OpenWiki offers many formatting rules that editors can use for creating pages.Contents |
The Basics
- Do not indent paragraphs.
- Words wrap and fill as needed.
- Leave a blank line between paragraphs.
- Type 4 or more minus/dash/hyphen (-) characters to create a horizontal rule.
- URL's and email addresses are automatically hyperlinked.
- Wiki names are automatically hyperlinked. A wiki name conforms to the link pattern, which basically is a word containing more than one capital letter where the capitals aren't right next to each other. In other words, simply SmashWordsTogetherLikeSo.
Bold, Italic, Underscore, Strikethrough
To mark text as bold enclose text by two asterisks (*) characters on both sides. To mark text as italic enclose text by two slash (/) characters on both sides. To mark text underlined enclose text by two underscore (_) characters on both sides. To mark text strikethrough enclose text by two dash (-) characters on both sides.**Some bold text**, //some italic text//, and **//some bold and italic text//** __Some underlined text__ --Some strikethrough text--will appear as: Some bold text, some italic text, and some bold and italic text
Some underlined text Some strikethrough text OpenWiki also supports the "old" style of placing emphasis on text which is used by several original wikis.
''2 quotes are italic'', '''3 quotes are bold''', and '''''5 quotes are bold and italic'''''will appear as: 2 quotes are italic, 3 quotes are bold, and 5 quotes are bold and italic Note: whether the "new" and/or "old" style of placing emphasis on text is in effect depends on the system options as configured by the administrator of this site.
Superscript, Subscript
To mark text in superscript enclose text by two ^ characters on both sides. To mark text in subscript enclose text by two v characters on both sides.2^^3^^ + 10^^2^^ = 108 2Hvv2vv + Ovv2vv = 2Hvv2vvOwill appear as: 23 + 102 = 108 H2 + O2 = 2H2O

; Term (indented twice) : Definition (indented to third level)
will appear as:
- Term One
- Definition for One (indented)

- Definition for Two (indented)
- Term Three
- Definition for Three (indented)
- Term (indented)
- Definition (indented two levels)

Mixing Lists
You can also mix lists, for example:

1. First subitem of **second item**
Some more text about first subitem....
End of this subitem.
1. Second subitem of **second item**
* Last bulleted item
will appear as:

Some more text about first subitem....
End of this subitem. - Second subitem of second item
- First subitem of second item
- Last bulleted item
Indented text
: Paragraph to be indented (quote-block)

Preformatted text
Sourcecode
If you want to display sourcecode use the <code> tag or enclose the source by three acolades (e.g. {{{some code}}}). Singleline example:
The command {{{foo := bar + 1;}}} will add 1 to bar and assign it to foo.
will appear as:
The command foo := bar + 1; will add 1 to bar and assign it to foo.
Multiline example:
{{{
begin
foo := bar + 1;
end;
}}}
will appear as:
begin
foo := bar + 1;
end;
Note that within sourcecode most features won't work, such as: automatic hyperlinking of URLs, WikiNames, making text italic, etc. What still does work within sourcecode is the ability to highlight text by using three single quotes and the ability to use the <nowiki> tag.
Example:
<code>
begin
'''foo := bar + 1;'''
foo := foo << 1;
return foo;
end;
</code>
will appear as:
begin
foo := bar + 1;
foo := foo << 1;
return foo;
end;
Tables
|| **ID** || **Name** || **Description** || || 123 || John Foo || Some foo user || || 456 || Mary Richardson || Contact person from Foo Corp. ||will appear as:
| ID | Name | Description |
| 123 | John Foo | Some foo user |
| 456 | Mary Richardson | Contact person from Foo Corp. |
Infoboxes
{{Infobox Equation
|name = My name for infobox
|[Special:HelpOnLinking Link param] = [Special:HelpOnLinking Link value]]
|Bold param = Bold value
...
|''Italic param'' = ''Italic value''
}}
will appear as:
| My name for infobox | |
|---|---|
| Link param | Link value |
| Bold param | Bold value |
| Italic param | Italic value |
