all you read here won't make much sense to you.
Paragraphs
- separate paragraphs inside the text with empty lines
- use three percent signs %%% to enforce a line break
- if you prepend text with spaces or tabs it will get indented
!! Headlines
- use an exclamation mark ! at the beginning of a line to create a small headline
- !! for medium
- !!! for large headlines
text style
- if you want to emphasize text enclose it in two single-quotes '' (usually looks italic)
- text gets bold with two underscores __ (or if enclosed with two asterisks **)
- to make text big enclose it in hash characters ##
- you can get smaller text using "µµ" likewise
- a typewrite like font will be used if you enclose text in two equal == signs
Lists
- start a line with an asterisk * to begin a list
- use # instead for numerated lists
- you can create sublists
- subsequent list points should start with the same mix of * and #
HyperLinks
- just enter a ?WikiWord inside your text to create a new ?HyperLink
- enclose some ?words in square brackets to create a HyperLink inside the ?WikiWikiWeb which is not made up of a valid ?WikiWord
- any valid internet address (starting with http://) like http://www.example.com/ inside the text will be made clickable automagically
- enclose a www address or a WikiLink inside square brackets [freshmeat] and assign it a neat title using quotation marks or the | character
- [title | http://example.com]
- [WikiWord "title"] or ["title for" WikiLink]
- if you don't want a WikiWord or a http://www-address (or [anything] inside square brackets) to become a HyperLink then just prepend it with a exclamation mark or a tilde
- !NoHyperLink, ~NoHyperLink
- ![no hyperlink], !http://nolink.org/
Tables with |
just enclose |
things with the dash |
character |
to build a |
table structure |
browsers usually |
leave out the missing |
cells |
Please always put an empty line before and after a table, so it stands out from other text in its own paragraph.
Pictures
- to include an image into a page enclose its absolute www-address in square brackets, like ![]
- alternatively you could use the ?ImageUploading function, see ?EditThisPage
