EditPageFormattingRules

Text Formatting Rules:

• Carriage returns (ie pressing the Enter key) are significant in formatting a wiki page
• Multiple spaces and tabs are ignored
• Use tags <b>bold</b> and <i>italic</i>
• Use tag <tt>for monospace text</tt>
• The first character entered on a line often controls the formatting of the text on that line, in brief:
  • " " space causes text to appear in a monospaced font where spaces are significant
  • ":" colon causes text to be indented
  • "=" equals - followed by a space - creates a heading, a trailing "=" - preceeded by a space - is required
  • "*" asterisk creates a bulleted list
  • "#" hash creates a numbered list
  • ";" semicolon creates a definition list, a ":" colon is required subsequently on the same line
  • "----" four hyphens creates a horizontal line
• Repetition of the first character on the line generally increases the indentation or emphasis
• "||" vertical bar creates a table, eg ||column1 || centred || right||
• Leave a single blank line between paragraphs.
• Suppress wiki formatting and linking through escaped WikiWiki text -- WikiWiki
• Insert an external image using a full URL, eg https://www.usemod.org/wiki.gif
• Special commands
  • <blog FredDagg? -5> for inserting a blog listing, -ve is for reverse order, number limits entries.
