# Help on formatting text
|
|
|
|
Text on this wiki is, by default, written in a form very close to how you
|
|
might write text for an email message. This style of text formatting is
|
|
called [[MarkDown]], and it works like this:
|
|
|
|
Leave blank lines between paragraphs.
|
|
|
|
You can \**emphasise*\* or \*\***strongly emphasise**\*\* text by placing it
|
|
in single or double asterisks.
|
|
|
|
To create a list, start each line with an asterisk:
|
|
|
|
* "* this is my list"
|
|
* "* another item"
|
|
|
|
To make a numbered list, start each line with a number (any number will
|
|
do) followed by a period:
|
|
|
|
1. "1. first line"
|
|
2. "2. second line"
|
|
2. "2. third line"
|
|
|
|
To create a header, start a line with one or more `#` characters followed
|
|
by a space and the header text. The number of `#` characters controls the
|
|
size of the header:
|
|
|
|
# # h1
|
|
## ## h2
|
|
### ### h3
|
|
#### #### h4
|
|
##### ##### h5
|
|
###### ###### h6
|
|
|
|
You can also make the first two levels of heading by underlining text with
|
|
equals or dash:
|
|
|
|
heading 1
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
heading 1
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
heading 2
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
heading 2
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
To create a horizontal rule, just write three or more dashes or stars on
|
|
their own line:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
To quote someone, prefix the quote with ">":
|
|
|
|
> To be or not to be,
|
|
> that is the question.
|
|
|
|
To write a code block, indent each line with a tab or 4 spaces:
|
|
|
|
10 PRINT "Hello, world!"
|
|
20 GOTO 10
|
|
|
|
To link to another page on the wiki, place the page's name inside double
|
|
square brackets, so you would use `\[[WikiLink]]` to link to [[WikiLink]].
|
|
|
|
To link to any other web page, or to an email address, you can just put the url in angle brackets: <<http://ikiwiki.kitenet.net>>, or you can use the form
|
|
\[link text\]\(url\)
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
You can also use [[PreProcessorDirective]]s to do additional cool stuff.
|
|
|
|
Also, if the smiley plugin is enabled in your wiki, you can insert
|
|
[[smileys]] and some other useful symbols.
