== Bold and italic text == | |||
To mark text as '''bold''' or ''italic'' put inverted commata (') before and after those parts – two for italic and three for bold. For example: | |||
<nowiki>''italic''</nowiki>, | |||
<nowiki>'''bold'''</nowiki>, | |||
<nowiki>'''''bold+italic'''''</nowiki>. | |||
Note that MediaWiki (like most Wikis) processes wiki syntax line-by-line, so if, for example, you want three bold lines of text, so you will have to format every line separately. | |||
== Headings == | |||
Headings are delimited by 1–6 equal signs (=). They basically correspond to HTML's <nowiki><h1></nowiki> through <nowiki><h6></nowiki> tags. | |||
<pre>= Headline of first order = | |||
== Headline of second order == | |||
=== Headline of third order === | |||
==== Headline of fourth order ==== | |||
===== Headline of fifth order ===== | |||
====== Headline of sixth order ======</pre> | |||
== Lists == | |||
Lists are made by preceding list items by asterisk signs (*) for bulleted lists or number signs (#) for numbered lists. | |||
Simple lists: | |||
<pre> | |||
* Text for a bulleted list item. | |||
** Text for second-level list. | |||
*** Text for third level, etc. | |||
</pre> | |||
...which looks like: | |||
* Text for a bulleted list item. | |||
** Text for second-level list. | |||
*** Text for third level, etc. | |||
Numbered lists: | |||
<pre> | |||
# Text for a numbered list item. | |||
## Text for second-level list. | |||
### Text for third level, etc. | |||
## Another Text for the second level. | |||
</pre> | |||
...which looks like: | |||
# Text for a numbered list item. | |||
## Text for second-level list. | |||
### Text for third level, etc. | |||
## Another Text for the second level. | |||
== Indented text == | |||
To indent paragraphs preceed them with colon signs (:); use several colons to obtain several levels of indentation. | |||
Simple indented text: | |||
<pre> | |||
: Text to be indented (quote-block) | |||
:: Text indented more | |||
::: Text indented to third level | |||
</pre> | |||
...which looks like: | |||
: Text to be indented (quote-block) | |||
:: Text indented more | |||
::: Text indented to third level | |||
== Preformatted text == | |||
Individual lines can be displayed as preformatted (with fixed-width or "typewriter"-font) text by placing one or more spaces at the start of the line. Other wiki formatting (like links) will be applied to this kind of preformatted text. | |||
<nowiki>Additionally, multi-line sections can be marked as pre-formatted text using lines starting with <pre> (to start pre-formatted text), and </pre> (to end preformatted text). The <pre> and </pre> tags are not displayed. Wiki links and other formatting is not done within a preformatted section. (If you want wiki formatting, use spaces at the start of the line instead of the <pre> and </pre> tags.)</nowiki> | |||
For instance: | |||
<pre> | |||
Pre-formatted section here. No other link | |||
or format processing | |||
is done on pre-formatted sections. | |||
For instance, [[Gazelle]] is not a link here. | |||
</pre> | |||
and: | |||
This is the starting-spaces version of | |||
preformatted text. Note that links like | |||
[[Gazelle]] still work. | |||
