=== Bold, italic, and fixed-width text === | |||
To mark text as <b>bold</b>, <i>italic</i> or <code>fixed-width</code>, you can use the HTML <nowiki><b></nowiki>, <nowiki><i></nowiki> and code tags. For example: | |||
<nowiki><b> bold </b></nowiki>, | |||
<nowiki><i> italic </i></nowiki>, | |||
<nowiki><b> <i> bold+italic </i> </b></nowiki>. | |||
Note that MediaWiki (like most Wikis) processes pages line-by-line, so if you want three bold lines of text, you will need to use three separate <nowiki><b>...</b></nowiki> tags. Also note that unclosed or unmatched tags are not removed from the page. | |||
MediaWiki also implements the old "quote style" of text formatting, which is used on several wikis. Briefly: | |||
<pre> | |||
''Two single quotes are italics'', | |||
'''three single quotes are bold''', | |||
'''''five single quotes are bold and italic.''''' | |||
</pre> | |||
looks like: | |||
''Two single quotes are italics'', | |||
'''three single quotes are bold''', | |||
'''''five single quotes are bold and italic.''''' | |||
== Headings == | |||
Headings are delimited by 1-6 equal signs (=). They basically correspond to HTML's <h1> through <h6> tags. | |||
<pre>= Headline size 1 = | |||
== Headline size 2 == | |||
=== Headline size 3 === | |||
==== Headline size 4 ==== | |||
===== Headline size 5 ===== | |||
====== Headline size 6 ======</pre> | |||
== 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 == | |||
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 (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. | |||
