The InfoHub(TM) wiki content can be formatted using the following markups:
(NOTE: More information about DR_Wiki, the InfoHub(TM) can be found at www.myasterisk.de/wiki/dr_wiki/)
| Markup | Description |
|---|---|
| paragraph <p> | A single newline generally has no effect on the layout. These can however be used to separate sentences within a paragraph. Some editors find that this aids editing and improves clarity when utilising the ‘diff-tool’ (used by the editors to compare different versions of a page, see section 4.3). An empty line starts a new paragraph. |
* item 1 |
Creates a bulleted list such as:
|
# item 1 |
Creates a numbered list such as:
|
# item 1 |
Both types of lists can also be combined:
|
:text |
A colon indents a line or paragraph. Works similar to the bulleted and numbered lists:
|
| [[word]] | A word between double square brackets creates a new internal link to a Wiki page, in this case for the term “word”. Links appear as bold text when the article is viewed. (See section 4.1 of the “D1.3: Manual of the Extended Wiki System" for more information.) |
| [[HomePage]] | Creates a link specifically to the starting page of the Wiki. |
| [[word|alternative text]] | Creates a new internal link to a Wiki page called ‘word’, but using the ‘alternative text’ as link title. |
| [[word]]trail | Creates a new internal link to a Wiki page, using the combination wordtrail as link title.
Eg. [[machine]]s will result in a link called machines linking to a page called "machine" |
| [[namespace:word]] | Creates a new internal link to a Wiki page called ‘word’ in the namespace ‘ns’. Currently the following namespaces are available:
|
| =Header= | Creates a heading (level 1 - H1-tag). |
| ==Header== | Creates a heading (level 2 - H2-tag). |
| ===Header=== | Creates a heading (level 3 - H3-tag). |
| ====Header==== | Creates a heading (level 4 - H4-tag). |
| =====Header===== | Creates a heading (level 5 - H5-tag). |
| ======Header====== | Creates a heading (level 6 - H6-tag). |
| imageURL | Inserts an image from ‘imageURL’ into the Wiki page. Currently only gif, jpeg, jpg, and png images are allowed.
Example:
|
| URL | URLs and email addresses are automatically converted to real HTML links. Currently ftp, http(s), mailto, irc, gopher, and news URLs are recognised.
Example: mailto: someone@theirdomain.com http://www.somedomain.com |
| [URL link-text] | Creates a link using the name as link-text. Currently ftp, http(s), mailto, irc, gopher, and news URLs are recognised.
Example: [mailto: someone@theirdomain.com my email] [http://www.somedomain.com some domain] |
| [URL] | Creates an enumerated link. Currently ftp and http(s) URLs are recognised.
Example: [mailto: someone@theirdomain.com ] [http://www.somedomain.com ] |
| ---- | Creates a bar / horizontal line. |
| ''text'' | Sets the text to italic. |
| '''text''' | Sets the text to bold. |
| '''''text''''' | Sets the text to bold & italic |
| { | params | } | Creates a new table. |
| HTML tags | Some HTML tags are allowed inside a Wiki. By default, the the tags below are currently supported:
<br />, <b>, <i>, <p>, <u>, <center>, <hr />. |
| #REDIRECT [[IDM]] | Redirect one article to another by placing a directive like the one shown on the left on the first line of the article (such as at a page titled "IDM" --> “Identity Management”). |
| You can <s>strike out deleted material</s> and <u>underline new material</u>. |
The example on the left would display: You can |
| ~~~ [Discussion only] |
Adds the user’s login name to the article as signature. Only works for the “Discussion” namespaces.
~~~~ will be replaced by “Frank Idis” |
| ~~~~ [Discussion only] |
Adds the user’s login name and date to the article as signature. Only works for the “Discussion” namespaces.
~~~~ will be replaced by “Frank Idis” + date |
| ~~~~~ [Discussion only] |
Adds the current date to the wiki page. |
| {{templatename}} | Templates are an easy way of adding pre fabricated text elements to a Wiki page. This mechanism can be used to insert repeating text elements to a Wiki page, such as notes, pre-formated tables and so on. Generally talking, templates are Wiki pages that reside in the namespace “Template”, such as”Template:templatename”. By adding the name of the template into curled braces without the namespace marker, the content of a template page is added into the Wiki page and rendered into HTML. |
