The wiki markup is the syntax system you can use to format a Thelemapedia page. It is designed to be simple and quick to use. You are welcome to experiment with markup in the Temp Zone.

The basics

The following items are the most common used and editors are encouraged to learn them.

Section Headings

What you see What you type Notes

New section

Sub-header 1

Sub-header 2

Sub-header 3

==New section==
===Sub-header 1===
====Sub-header 2====
=====Sub-header 3=====

  • A Table of Contents will automatically be added to an article that has four or more sections.
  • Typing __NOTOC__ anywhere in the article will force the TOC not to appear.

Text formatting

What you see What you type Notes

Bold

Italic

Bold italic

''Italic'' (2 apostrophes)

'''Bold''' (3 apostrophes)

'''''Bold italic''''' (5 apostrophes)

  • Use the apostrophe key, not the quotes key.

Paragraphs

What you see What you type Notes

A single newline (hitting the return/enter key once) generally has no effect on the layout.

But an empty line (hitting the return/enter key twice) starts a new paragraph.

A single newline
(hitting the return/enter key once)
generally has no effect on the layout.
But an empty line (hitting the return/enter key twice) starts a new paragraph.

  • When used in a list, a newline does affect the layout (see below).

You can break lines
without starting a new paragraph.

You can break lines<br/>without starting a new paragraph.

  • Please use this technique sparingly.

Sometimes it is useful to indent an entire paragraph.

A colon at the beginning of the first line will indent the remaining paragraph.

Sometimes it is useful to indent an entire paragraph.
:A colon at the beginning of the first line will indent the remaining paragraph.

  • This will work only with the colon at the beginning of a new line. Otherwise it will show up a regular colon.
  • A new line (single return) will start a new paragraph when using this technique.
