Quick Help

Text formatting markup

This is just a short help. Find the full version here.

You can format your text using wiki markup. This consists of normal characters like asterisks, single quotes or equation marks which have a special function in the wiki, sometimes depending on their position. For example, to format a word in italic, you include it in two single quotes like ''this''

Description	You type	You get
applies anywhere
Italic text	''italic''	italic
Bold text	'''bold'''	bold
Bold and italic	'''''bold & italic'''''	bold & italic
Escape wiki markup	<nowiki>no "markup"</nowiki>	no ''markup''
Fixed width text	<tt>Fixed width text</tt>	Fixed width text

Bullet list	* one * two * three ** three and one-third ** three and two-thirds	one two three three and one-third three and two-thirds
Numbered list	# one # two<br>spanning several lines<br>without breaking the numbering # three ## three point one ## three point two	one two spanning several lines without breaking the numbering three three point one three point two
Mixture of bulleted and numbered lists	# one # two #* two point one #* two point two	one two two point one two point two

Paragraphs

MediaWiki ignores normal line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can also start a new line with the HTML tags <br> or <br/>.

HTML & Sourcecode

Some HTML tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <div>, <span> and <font>.

If you want to use <code>, you should definitely use <source> instead! It supports Syntax Coloring. You can also specify a language, eg. <source lang="c" line start="55" highlight="4"> :

// Global variable
int x = 7;

int myFunction(int a) {
    // Local variable
    int b = 8;
    return (a + b);
}

Please see the MediaWiki GeSHi Page for detailed information to use some of the parameters:

• lang="xyz": defines the language, eg. "c", "php", ...
• line: show line numbering
• line start="55": first line is labeled #55
• hilight="4: hilights line #4

Tables

{|	table start
|+	table caption, optional; only between table start and first table row
|-	table row, optional on first row -- wiki engine assumes the first row
!	table header cell, optional. Consecutive table header cells may be added on same line separated by double marks (!!) or start on new lines, each with its own single mark (!).
|	table data cell, required! Consecutive table data cells may be added on same line separated by double marks (||) or start on new lines, each with its own single mark (|).
|}	table end
