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. |
