Wiki syntax reference

The Wiki syntax is a way to enhance your text with a minimal set of tags studied to cover the basic needs (titles, paragraphs, quotes, lists...).

Block elements

• Leave an empty line between two similar blocks.
• Paragraph: Free text, ended by an empty line if another paragraph is to follow.
• Title: !!! title, !! title or ! title, allowing you to use three different levels of heading.
• Horizontal line: ----
• Lists: Start each line with * or # for unnumbered or numbered lists respectively. List imbrication is done by mixing list markers this way:

      * item 1
      ** item 1.1
      * item 2
      *# item 2.1
    ...
    

• Definition lists: Start each line with = for the term to define and with : for the definition of the term.

    = term
    : description of the term
    

• Preformatted text: Each line must start with a space.
• Block quote: Each line must start with a >.
• Side block: Each line must start with a ).

Formatting tags

• Emphasis: Two quotes ''text''
• Strong emphasis: Two underscores __text__
• New line: %%%
• Insertion: Two plusses ++text++
• Deletion: Two minuses --text--
• Link: [url], [name|url], [name|url|language] or [name|url|language|title]
• Image: ((url|alternative text)), ((url|alternative text|position)) or ((url|alternative text|position|long description)).
  The position can be either L (left), R (right) or C (centered).
• Anchor: ~anchor~
• Acronym: ??acronym|title??
• Inline HTML: Two backquotes ``html code``
• Inline quote: {{quote}}, {{quote|language}} or {{quote|language|url}}
• Code: @@code@@
• Footnotes: $$footnote$$
• Superscript : ^superscript^
• Subscript : ,,subscript,,

Unformatted text

If you don't want one formatting character to be interpreted as such, add a \ just before it. For instance: \[Text in brackets without being a link\]

HTML code

Even if you chose the Wiki syntax, you may sometimes need a more powerful formatting, i.e. HTML syntax. Do it the following way:

///html
<p style="color:red">my text in red</p>
///
