Thelemapedia:Wiki Markup

(Revision as of 23:00, 4 Jul 2005)

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.

Text

  • 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.

Bold and italic

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.

  • 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.

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

  • More colons = more indention.
  • 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.

If a line starts with one
 or more spaces then
   it will be formatted exactly
     as typed;
  lines will not    wrap;

  • WARNING: If you make a line too long, it will force the whole page to be wide. Never start ordinary lines with spaces.
  • This technique is good for things like poetry.
  • More spaces = more indention

Lists

What you see What you type Notes
  • Lists are easy to do:
    • Start every line with an asterisk.
      • More asterisks means deeper levels.

A newline in a list marks the end of a list item.

  • An empty line starts a new list.
