Wx Wiki Server Formatting Rules

• Two quotes together ' ' make things italic
• Three quotes together ' ' ' make things bold
• Four or more quotes give bold italic
• Initial <space> makes a line monospaced
• These modifiers only last until the end of a line
  

This is monospaced text

• <space>*<space> makes a bullet list
  • <space><space>*<space> for the 2nd level, etc.
• <space>1.<space> makes a numbered list
• #<space> also makes a numbered list
• You can intermingle numbered and bulleted lists
• Put each entry on a different line
• <space>-<space> is a "virtual list" of single lines with HTML <br> after each
  • Has no effect if line breaks are enabled
• Wards Wiki Style Lists? are now supported. Put any # of stars '*' at the beginning of a line.
• You can use Wards Wiki Style Lists? and EE-style lists interchangeably

• A single blank line seperates paragraphs
• A single line containing 4 or more dashes (-) makes a page break
• > indents
• > > indents more
  

• Inside a table cell, or after ] or >, you are in a new paragraph
• You can insert new paragraph formatting which applies to only that paragraph
• So you can indent or center lists and tables
• ... or you can have indented or centered paragraphs in tables!
  

• Any word spelt Like This becomes an internal hyperlink
• A full URL becomes an external hyperlink e.g. http://www.powerslave.com
• Wiki Server can also deliver .GIF, .JPEG, .JPG, .HTML, .HTM and .TXT files placed in the Pages directory
  • A local URL becomes a local hyperlink e.g. icon.jpg
  • An ilocal URL becomes an inline image e.g.
• [1], [2], [3], [LabeledFootnote] etc. link to footnotes

• Wiki Server can also deliver files placed in the Pages directory
  • A local URL becomes a local hyperlink e.g. icon.jpg
• Words spelt Like This with a # after them becomes an internal hyperlink with an anchor to a certain portion of the page. Wiki Formatting# The Anchor
• [#anchorref] links to an anchor on the current page
• [##anchor] creates an anchor on the current page
• [[http://www.wikiserver.org/]] becomes a psuedo-footnote that links to the site in question - [[1]]
  

• An ilocal URL becomes an inline image e.g.
• The newer img tag is a better way - it can work the same way e.g. or it can refer to images from the internet, as below:
  

• Any # of spaces plus a | or | | creates a table
• Successive |'s or | |'s on the same line create more table cells
• If you start the next line out with a | or | |also, you create another table row
  

• <space>1:<space> begins a table - you can start at more than 1 if you like
• <space>1;<space> makes a table with no border
• All elements with the same number are in the same cell
• When the number goes up, the next column is used
• When the number goes down again, the next row is used
  

A	B	C
D	E	F

• "?FullSearch" inserts a Full Search form

• Any # of Equals(=) starting out a line and ending a line creates a heading
• If one Equal - it puts an image before the heading and has a gradient background

• Two ` is a relatively small heading if put before a word

Wiki System Footer

• "<toc>" generates a Table Of Contents at the current location for all headings which use the "equals" format modified with a # sign.
  • Example:
  • === # third level heading ===
  • The first # will cause TOC section numbers to be automatically assigned.
    

Meta Pages

• Edit Page inserts a link to the current page's edit page
• Reverse Link inserts a link to the reverse link page for the current page
  

• Wiki Footer is the normal page footer area
• Wiki System Footer is the footer area for system pages - it should not include an Edit Page link
  

• [!<name>] inserts the text of a page directly
• The [!<name>] must be the only word on a line
  

• Wx Wiki Server will highlight source code that appears between a @code:[language] and [$@endcode] tag, where [language] is the language you wish to highlight. The language is dictated by a flag described below, I.E. to highlight visual basic you'd put @code:VB.
• Wx Wiki Server currently supports 6 languages with syntax highlighting what you put after the colon is in parenthases:
  • C (C)
  • C++ (CPP)
  • Visual Basic (VB)
  • Visual Basic Script (VBS)
  • JScript (JSCRIPT)
  • Java (JAVA)
• Wx Wiki Server highlights in C++ by default.
  

#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  printf("Hello World!");
  return 0;
}

• Put #REDIRECT <pagename> as the only line in a page to redirect to another page.
  • Only one redirection supported
  • For an example see Wiki Wiki Info
    

• Putting a \ at the end of a line (no spaces either) appends the next line unto the current one
  

• You can enter the following html tags right into the wiki:
  • &lt;b&gt; _and_ &lt;/b&gt; (EXAMPLE)
  • &lt;i&gt; _and_ &lt;/i&gt; (EXAMPLE)
  • &lt;tt&gt; _and_ &lt;/tt&gt; (EXAMPLE)
  • &lt;pre&gt; _and_ &lt;/pre&gt; (

    EXAMPLE

    )
    

• Putting a ] at the beginning of a line centers the text on that line. Works great with headers, too!
  

• Putting space-#-space after the equals in a heading makes it a heading that gets included in the table of contents
