D1.3: Manual of the Extended Wiki System (dr_wiki)

Markup  

Description  

Paragraphs <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 ).

An empty line starts a new paragraph. 

* item 1

Creates a bulleted list such as:

1. item 1 

   1. a 

   2. b 

      1. c 

      2. d 

2. item 2 

3. item 3 

# item 1

Creates a numbered list such as:

1. item 1 

   1. a 

   2. b 

      1. c 

      2. d 

2. item 2 

3. item 3 

* item 1

Both types of lists can also be combined:

1. item 1 

1. 1. a 

   2. b 

1. 1. 1. c 

1. item 2 

2. item 3 

: text

A colon indents a line or paragraph. Works similar to the bulleted and numbered lists:

     even more text

{{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.
