Character Formatting
+==
Character Formatting ==
-* All special non-whitespace HTML characters are displayed as-is. Exceptions below.
-* See [Emphasis|Help:TextFormattingRules#Emphasis].
-* There's no syntax for font tags or color attributes.
-* The tilde '~~' is the _Escape Character_:
-** A single tilde '~~' followed by nothing gets rendered as a single tilde.
=> ~
-** Two tilde '~~~~' get rendered as a single tilde.
=> ~~
-** A single tilde before a link ('~~http~:~/~/foo.bar') prevents linking.
-
=> ~http://foo.bar
-** Two tildes before a link ('~~~~http~:~/~/foo.bar') produce a tilde
- followed by the hyperlinked URL.
- => ~~http://foo.bar
-** A tilde inside an URL gets removed, unless it's formatted inside
- ~[ ~] brackets.
- Two tildes inside an URL (without brackets) become a single tilde.
-
=> [http://foo.bar/~user] or http://foo.bar/~~user
-* Special non-ascii or non-latin characters are printed as-is only if supported
- by the native wiki CHARSET. Add such characters on a non-supported CHARSET with the Help:RawHtmlPlugin if it is enabled by the Admin and e.g. the &#num; syntax. %%%
- E.g. These japanese euc-jp chars 'から 新規ページ' on this
=<?plugin SystemInfo CHARSET?>
= wiki.
- And with the plugin: <?plugin RawHtml から 新規ページ ?> %%%
- And this is how it should look: [http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/demo/images/chars-releasenotes-japanese.png]
+=== Emphasis

+* Mix them at will: **//bold italics//**
+* //Emphasis// can be used //multiple// times within a paragraph, but **cannot** cross paragraph boundaries:
+
+// this
+
+will not work//
+

+The text will be in green by default. You can then change the color.
+
+Allowed colors are:
+* an HTML color number (# followed by 3 or 6 digits),
+* the following predefined color names:
+{| class="bordered"
+|-
+| %color=aqua% aqua %%

-* Hyperlinks to external pages are done like this:
-
[http://www.wcsb.org/]
-* You can name the links by providing a name
, a bar
(|) and then the
- hyperlink or pagename
:
- [PhpWiki home page |
http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/] ---

-
size:-4000.
+* URLs ending with ##
.png##
, ##
.gif##
, or ##
.jpg##
are inlined if in square brackets, by themselves:
+ [
[http://phpwiki.demo

+* You can create footnotes by using ~[1], ~[2], ~[3], ... like this here #[|ftnt
+_ref_1]<sup>~[[1|#ftnt_1]~]</sup>. See footnote for counterpart. (If the ~[ is
+in the first column, it is a footnote <em>definition</em> rather than a footnote
+ <em>reference</em> #[|ftnt_ref_1]<sup>~[[1|#ftnt_1]~]</sup>.)
+* In-page #[
[hyperlinks]
] are made by placing a named anchor and referring to the anchor in a hyperlink:
+*
* Named anchors:
+*** ##
~#~[
~[foo]]##
: An anchor around the text "foo" with id "foo".
+*** ##
~#~[
~[|foo]]##
: An empty anchor with id "foo".
+*** ##
~#~[
~[howdy|foo]]##
: An anchor around the text "howdy" with id "foo".

~[~[~
#hyperlinks]]##
, ##~[
~[~OtherPage#foo]]##
, ##~[
~[~OtherPage#foo|named
]]##
.
+* Semantic links are named links like: {{{
is_a::WikiPage}}}
and attributes like {{{
size:-4000}}}
.
* A pagelink within square brackets starting with ":" is not backlinked.
-!!! Tables
+== Images ==
-* Definition list style tables are written just like definition lists,
- except that you replace the trailing colon on the term with
a "
pipe"
- (<tt>|</tt>)
.
+An inline image is created with curly brackets.
+An alternate text can be put after
a pipe. If there is none, an empty alternate text will be created

- Two tilde '~~' get rendered as a single tilde. => ~
- A single tilde before a link ('~http://foo.bar') prevents linking. => http://foo.bar
- Two tildes before a link ('~~http://foo.bar') produce a tilde followed by the hyperlinked URL. => ~
http://foo.bar - A tilde inside an URL gets removed, unless it's formatted inside square brackets.
- Two tildes inside an URL (without brackets) become a single tilde. => http://foo.bar/~user or http://foo.bar/~user
Special Characters
All special non-whitespace HTML characters are displayed as-is. Exceptions below.
Paragraphs
- Don't indent paragraphs
- Words wrap and fill as needed
- Use blank lines as separators
- Four or more minus signs make a horizontal rule
- "\\", "%%%" or "<br>" makes a linebreak (in headings and lists too)
Lists
Unordered lists
Recommended syntax (Wikicreole):
- asterisk for first level
- double asterisk for second level, etc.
Be sure to put a space after the asterisk.
You can also use indented asterisk for second level (indent at least two spaces).
Ordered lists
Recommended syntax (Wikicreole):
- # for first level
- double # for second level, etc.
Be sure to put a space after the hash sign.
You can also use indented # for second level (indent at least two spaces).
Definition lists
Term: definition
gives
- Term
- definition
Remark
Items may contain multiple paragraphs and other multi-lined content, just indent the items
Headings
Wikicreole syntax (recommended)
- '==' at the start of a line makes a large heading (h2)
- '===' at the start of a line makes a medium heading (h3)
- '====' at the start of a line makes a small heading (h4)
- '=====' at the start of a line makes a smaller heading (h5)
- '======' at the start of a line makes a tiny heading (h6)
Classic Phpwiki syntax
- '!!!' at the start of a line makes a large heading (h2)
- '!!' at the start of a line makes a medium heading (h3)
- '!' at the start of a line makes a small heading (h4)
Preformatted text
Place the preformatted text between three opening curly brackets and three closing curly brackets:
{{{
Preformatted text. ~WikiLinks do not work.
}}}
gives
Preformatted text. WikiLinks do not work.
If you want Wiki interaction, place preformatted lines inside <pre>:
<pre> Preformatted text. WikiLinks still work. </pre>
gives
Preformatted text. WikiLinks still work.
Indented Paragraphs
Two or more whitespaces signal indented text. Indents may be nested.
This is an indented block of text.
This block is even more indented.
E-mail style block-quoting is supported as well:
> This is block-quoted text.
renders as
This is block-quoted text.
References
- Hyperlinks to other pages within the Wiki are made by placing the page name in double square brackets: this is a page link. Single brackets or WikiWords will also work.
- Hyperlinks to external pages are done like this: http://www.wcsb.org/
- You can name the links by providing the hyperlink or pagename, a pipe (|) and then the name:
PhpWiki home page, the front page
- You can suppress linking to URIs by preceding the word with a '~', e.g. NotLinkedAsWikiName, http://not.linked.to/
- Also, the old way of linking URL's is still supported: precede URLs
with "http:", "ftp:" or "mailto:" to
create links automatically as in: http://c2.com/
- URLs ending with .png, .gif, or .jpg are inlined if in square brackets, by themselves:
- You can create footnotes by using [1], [2], [3], ... like this here #[|ftnt
_ref_1][1]. See footnote for counterpart. (If the [ is in the first column, it is a footnote definition rather than a footnote
reference [1].)
In-page hyperlinks are made by placing a named anchor and referring to the anchor in a hyperlink:
Named anchors:
- #[[foo]]: An anchor around the text "foo" with id "foo".
- #[[|foo]]: An empty anchor with id "foo".
- #[[howdy|foo]]: An anchor around the text "howdy" with id "foo".
- References to name anchors are made thusly:
[[#hyperlinks]], [[OtherPage#foo]], [[OtherPage#foo|named]].
- Semantic links are named links like: is_a::WikiPage and attributes like size:-4000.
- A pagelink within square brackets starting with ":" is not backlinked.
Images
An inline image is created with curly brackets. An alternate text can be put after a pipe. If there is none, an empty alternate text will be created.
{{myimage.png}}
{{myimage.png|this is the alt text for my image}}
[[some link|{{myimage.png}}]] - if you click on the image, will goto "some link"
[[some link|{{myimage.png|alt text}}]] - same with alternative
[[http://example.com/|{{myimage.png}}]] - same as above: picture links to url
[[http://example.com/|{{myimage.png|alt text}}]] - same with alternative
Tables
Wikicreole tables
All cells are separated by single pipes. Leading spaces are permitted before the first cell of a row and trailing spaces are permitted at the end of a line. The ending pipe is optional.
You can embed links, bold, italics, line breaks, and nowiki in table cells.
Equal sign directly following pipe defines a header. Headers can be arranged horizontally or vertically.
|=Heading Col 1 |=Heading Col 2 | |Cell 1.1 |Two lines\\in Cell 1.2 | |Cell 2.1 |Cell 2.2 |
will give:
| Heading Col 1 | Heading Col 2 |
|---|---|
| Cell 1.1 | Two lines in Cell 1.2 |
| Cell 2.1 | Cell 2.2 |
Mediawiki tables
See Help:MediawikiTablePlugin.
Definition list style tables
Definition list style tables are written just like definition lists, except that you replace the trailing colon on the term with a "pipe" (|).
Term 1 |
Definition 1 begins here.
Term 1.1 |
Definition 1.1
Term 1.2 |
Definition 1.2
This is part of definition 1.
Term 2 |
Here's definition 2.
will give:
| Term 1 | Definition 1 begins here. |
|
|---|---|---|
| Term 1.1 | Definition 1.1 | |
| Term 1.2 | Definition 1.2 | |
This is part of definition 1. |
||
| Term 2 | Here's definition 2. | |
