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




no "markup"



no ''markup''

Fixed width text


<tt>Fixed width text</tt>

Fixed width text
only at the beginning of the line
Indent text


:Single indent


::Double indent


:::::Multiple indent

Single indent

Comment


<!--This is comment-->

  1. ↑ An article with four or more headings will automatically create a table of contents.
  2. ↑ Use of a level 1 heading is highly discouraged as it appears with the same formatting and size as the page title, which can be confusing.



Categories, References, Templates

References, Cites

Add Reference/Annotation:
Show all references so far:


Cite<ref>Annotation</ref> (see above @Headline)


<references/> (See above)

Categories

Add Page to Category:
Link to Category:


[[Category:MyCategory]]


[[:Category:MyCategory]]

Templates

Import Template:


{{Template:MyTemplate}}



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 (!).

|| ) or start on new lines, each with its own single mark (


| ).
