Help/Wikicreole
Phpwiki allows you to use the Wikicreole syntax to edit your wiki pages.
We have implemented most of Wikicreole 1.0 and Wikicreole 1.0 additions. What is implemented is described below.
Complete information about Wikicreole can be found at:

3 - Headers
Headers start on a new line with two or more equal signs (up to six) followed the header text.
Optional equal signs can be put at the end of the line (to be compatible with Mediawiki syntax). They are ignored.
The content of the headers is parsed, allowing for instance to use subscript and superscript text. (The header content parsing is optional in Wikicreole.)

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.
