Text formatting markup

This is just a short help. Find the full version here.

You can format your text using wiki markup. This consists of normal characters like asterisks, single quotes or equation marks which have a special function in the wiki, sometimes depending on their position. For example, to format a word in italic, you include it in two single quotes like ''this''

Description You type You get
applies anywhere
Italic text ''italic'' italic
Bold text '''bold''' bold
Bold and italic '''''bold & italic''''' bold & italic
Escape wiki markup <nowiki>no "markup"</nowiki> no ''markup''
Fixed width text <tt>Fixed width text</tt> Fixed width text
only at the beginning of the line

Notes:

  1. An article with four or more headings will automatically create a table of contents.
  2. Use of a level 1 heading is highly discouraged as it appears with the same formatting and size as the page title, which can be confusing.

Paragraphs

MediaWiki ignores normal line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can also start a new line with the HTML tags <br> or <br/>.

HTML & Sourcecode

Some HTML tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <div>, <span> and <font>.

If you want to use <code>, you should definitely use <source> instead! It supports Syntax Coloring. You can also specify a language, eg. <source lang="c" line start="55" highlight="4" enclose="div"> :

// Global variable
int x = 7;

int myFunction(int a) {
    // Local variable
    int b = 8;
    return (a + b);
}


Please see the MediaWiki GeSHi Page for detailed information to use some of the parameters:

  • lang="xyz": defines the language, eg. "c", "php", ...
  • line: show line numbering
  • line start="55": first line is labeled #55
  • hilight="4: hilights line #4
