Paragraphs  

• Lists automatically make up a new paragraph.
• Every block of text (without empty lines) will form a paragraph.
• Right align text by preceding the line with two greater-than signs (>>).
• Center text by preceding the line with two back-wacks (\\).

Indenting Text  

Pre-Formatted Text  

   _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
 /                                                          \
/ If  you  wish  text  to  appear in a mono-spaced font with \
\  no browser formatting, then start that paragraph using    /
 \  the starting code "<pre>" at the line start.  End that  /
  \  paragraph using the ending code "</pre>" at the front /
   \  of the following line.  This is similar to the HTML /
    \  tag of the same name.  Please note that "<pre>"   /
     \  and "</pre>" must be written in all lowercase.  /
      \ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _/

Text Style  

• Super^script text by surrounding it with double carrets (^^)
• The text styles can be combined. For example:
  Bold and Italic, Big,Bold,Monospaced, ^{Small, superscript, italics}
  
  

Images  

Images can be inlined into a page using square brackets around the absolute web address of the image file, like [http://www/image.png].

To have text flow around
to the right of an image,
put a space between the image
url and the closing bracket:
[http://example.com/image.png ]

To have text flow around
to the left of an image,
put a space between the image
url and the opening bracket:
[ http://example.com/image.png]

To center an image put a space both before and after the image url: [ http://example.com/image.png ]. This may not work in some browsers.

Specify an image's size by appending it to the url:

40x30	80x60	120x90

Over the years, browsers have gotten better at placing images within and around text. However, the best solutions still use tables (see below).

Tables  

Simple Tables

Start a table by enclosing the cells with the pipe character. The pipe should be the first and last characters on a line. Additional rows are added as additional lines, each starting and ending with a pipe.

Hyperlinks and Images in Tables

You can include hyperlinks and images in tables using the normal WikiMarkup rules. However, using the square bracket notation (i.e. [Title | http://example.com]) can cause problems since the pipe character is also used as the table delimiter. Instead, use the alternate quoted form of hyperlink (["Title" http://example.com]).

Complex Tables

The addition of curly braces { } just inside the pipe characters allows for attributes to be given to the various parts of the table:

The curly braces have to appear immediately after the pipe character. They may contain any attribute-value pairs valid for HTML tables. Familiarity with HTML, CSS, etc. is recommended before using this scheme.

More Hyperlinks  

Anchors  

Instead of loading a different page, Anchors are hyperlinks that reference places on the same page. Clicking an Anchor-Link will scroll the page to the matching Anchor-Point. Anchors are useful on large pages to move quickly around the page. They are commonly seen in a table of contents. The contents table at the top of this page uses anchor-links and every heading on this page has an anchor-point.

To create an Anchor-Link (the visible link that is clicked on):

To create an Anchor-Point (the invisible mark where the above link will scroll to):

To send the user to an Anchor-Point on a different page:

InterWiki:Links  

Some examples:

• ErfurtWiki:ErfurtWiki
• Wiki:WikiClones
• Wiki:InterWiki

Lists  

• An asterisk (*) at the beginning of a line creates a circle bullet.

1. A hash mark (#) creates a numbered line.

• A dash or minus character (-) creates a square bullet.

Definition lists can be created using :: (colon-colon) or ;: (semicolon-colon) at the line start or in a sublist:

;definition: explanation
:anotherdef: another description
**;Indented Def: Indented Description

Comments  

Comments can be inserted using a <!-- at a line start, but don't add the --> as you would in HTML. Comments can be used to hide information inside a page without it being shown when anyone views it. However, if someone edits the page or views the HTML source, the comment can be seen.
