Wikka Formatting Guide

Once you have read through this, test your formatting skills in the SandBox.

---

1. Text Formatting

2. Headers

Use between five = (for the biggest header) and two = (for the smallest header) on both sides of a text to render it as a header.

3. Horizontal separator

---

4. Forced line break

5. Lists and indents

You can indent text using a ~, a tab or 4 spaces (which will auto-convert into a tab).

~This text is indented
~~This text is double-indented
    This text is also indented

This text is also indented

To create bulleted/ordered lists, use the following markup (you can always use 4 spaces instead of a ~):

Bulleted lists
~- Line one
~- Line two

- Line one
- Line two

Numbered lists
~1) Line one
~1) Line two

1) Line one
1) Line two

Ordered lists using uppercase characters
~A) Line one
~A) Line two

A) Line one
A) Line two

Ordered lists using lowercase characters
~a) Line one
~a) Line two

a) Line one
a) Line two

Ordered lists using roman numerals
~I) Line one
~I) Line two

I) Line one
I) Line two

Ordered lists using lowercase roman numerals
~i) Line one
~i) Line two

i) Line one
i) Line two

6. Inline comments

To format some text as an inline comment, use an indent ( ~, a tab or 4 spaces) followed by a &.

Example:

~& Comment
~~& Subcomment
~~~& Subsubcomment

• Comment
  • Subcomment
    • Subsubcomment

7. Images

To place images on a Wiki page, you can use the image action.

Example:


Links can be external, or internal Wiki links. You don't need to enter a link at all, and in that case just an image will be inserted. You can use the optional classes left and right to float images left and right. You don't need to use all those attributes, only url is required while alt is recommended for accessibility.

8. Links

To create a link to a wiki page you can use any of the following options:

1. type a WikiName:
   
   FormattingRules
   FormattingRules
   
   
2. add a forced link surrounding the page name by [[ and ]] (everything after the first space will be shown as description):
   
   [[SandBox Test your formatting skills]]
   Test your formatting skills
   
   [[SandBox 沙箱]]
   沙箱
   
   
3. add an image with a link (see instructions above).

To link to external pages, you can do any of the following:

1. type a URL inside the page:
   
   http://www.example.com
   http://www.example.com∞
   
   
2. add a forced link surrounding the URL by [[ and ]] (everything after the first space will be shown as description):
   
   [[http://example.com/jenna/ Jenna's Home Page]]
   Jenna's Home Page∞
   
   [[mail@example.com Write me!]]
   Write me!∞
   
   
3. add an image with a link (see instructions above);
4. add an interwiki link (browse the list of available interwiki tags):
   
   WikiPedia:WikkaWiki
   WikiPedia:WikkaWiki∞
   
   Google:CSS
   Google:CSS∞
   
   Thesaurus:Happy
   Thesaurus:Happy∞
   
   

9. Tables

To create a table, you can use the table action.

Example:



Note that ### must be used to indicate an empty cell.
Complex tables can also be created by embedding HTML code in a wiki page (see instructions below).

10. Colored Text

Colored text can be created using the color action:

Example:


You can also use hex values:

Example:


Alternatively, you can specify a foreground and background color using the fg and bg parameters (they accept both named and hex values):

Examples:

11. Floats

To create a left floated box, use two < characters before and after the block.

Example:


Some more text as a filler. Some more text as a filler. Some more text as a filler. Some more text as a filler. Some more text as a filler. Some more text as a filler. Some more text as a filler. Some more text as a filler.

To create a right floated box, use two > characters before and after the block.

Example:


Some more text as a filler. Some more text as a filler. Some more text as a filler. Some more text as a filler. Some more text as a filler. Some more text as a filler. Some more text as a filler. Some more text as a filler.

Use ::c:: to clear floated blocks.

12. Code formatters

You can easily embed code blocks in a wiki page using a simple markup. Anything within a code block is displayed literally.
To create a generic code block you can use the following markup:

To create a code block with syntax highlighting, you need to specify a code formatter (see below for a list of available code formatters).

You can also specify an optional starting line number.

If you specify a filename, this will be used for downloading the code.

List of available code formatters:

LANGUAGE	FORMATTER	LANGUAGE	FORMATTER	LANGUAGE	FORMATTER
Actionscript	actionscript	ADA	ada	Apache Log	apache
AppleScript	applescript	ASM	asm	ASP	asp
AutoIT	autoit	Bash	bash	BlitzBasic	blitzbasic

13. Mindmaps

Wikka has native support for mindmaps∞. There are two options for embedding a mindmap in a wiki page.

Option 1: Upload a FreeMind file to a webserver, and then place a link to it on a wikka page:
http://yourdomain.com/freemind/freemind.mm
No special formatting is necessary.

Option 2: Paste the FreeMind data directly into a wikka page:

• Open a FreeMind file with a text editor.
• Select all, and copy the data.
• Browse to your Wikka site and paste the Freemind data into a page.

14. Embedded HTML

You can easily paste HTML in a wiki page by wrapping it into two sets of doublequotes.


Examples:



By default, some HTML tags are removed by the SafeHTML parser to protect against potentially dangerous code. The list of tags that are stripped can be found on the Wikka:SafeHTML∞ page.

It is possible to allow all HTML tags to be used, see Wikka:UsingHTML∞ for more information.
