= Wiki Formatting =
2 +
3 +
Wiki markup is a core feature for Wiki pages, tightly integrating all the other parts of Trac into a flexible and powerful whole.
4 +
5 +
The HUB development team has a built in small and powerful wiki rendering engine. This wiki engine implements an ever growing subset of the commands from other popular Wikis, especially [http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/ MoinMoin].
6 +
7 +
This page demonstrates the formatting syntax available anywhere [Help:WikiFormatting Wiki Formatting] is allowed.
8 +
9 +
== Font Styles ==
10 +
11 +
The pages supports the following font styles:
12 +
13 +
{{{
14 +
* '''bold''', '''!''' can be bold too''', and '''! '''
15 +
* ''italic''
16 +
* '''''bold italic'''''
17 +
* __underline__
18 +
* {{{monospace}}} or `monospace`
19 +
* ~~strike-through~~
20 +
* ^superscript^
21 +
* ,,subscript,,
22 +
}}}
23 +
24 +
Display:
25 +
26 +
* '''bold''', '''!''' can be bold too''', and '''! '''
27 +
* ''italic''
28 +
* '''''bold italic'''''
29 +
* __underline__
30 +
* {{{monospace}}} or `monospace`
31 +
* ~~strike-through~~
32 +
* ^superscript^
33 +
* ,,subscript,,
34 +
35 +
Notes:
36 +
37 +
* `{{{...}}}` and {{{`...`}}} commands not only select a monospace font, but also treat their content as verbatim text, meaning that no further wiki processing is done on this text.
38 +
* ` ! ` tells wiki parser to not take the following characters as wiki format, so pay attention to put a space after !, e.g. when ending bold.
39 +
40 +
== Headings ==
41 +
42 +
You can create heading by starting a line with one up to five ''equal'' characters ("=") followed by a single space and the headline text. The line should end with a space followed by the same number of ''='' characters. The heading might optionally be followed by an explicit id. If not, an implicit but nevertheless readable id will be generated.
43 +
44 +
Example:
45 +
46 +
{{{
47 +
= Heading =
48 +
== Subheading ==
49 +
=== About ''this'' ===
50 +
=== Explicit id === #using-explicit-id-in-heading
51 +
}}}
52 +
53 +
Display:
54 +
55 +
= Heading =
56 +
== Subheading ==
57 +
=== About ''this'' ===
58 +
=== Explicit id === #using-explicit-id-in-heading
59 +
60 +
== Paragraphs ==
61 +
62 +
A new text paragraph is created whenever two blocks of text are separated by one or more empty lines.
63 +
64 +
A forced line break can also be inserted, using:
65 +
66 +
{{{
67 +
Line 1[[BR]]Line 2
68 +
}}}
69 +
70 +
Display:
71 +
72 +
Line 1[[BR]]Line 2
73 +
74 +
== Lists ==
75 +
76 +
The wiki supports both ordered/numbered and unordered lists.
77 +
78 +
Example:
79 +
80 +
{{{
81 +
* Item 1
82 +
* Item 1.1
83 +
* Item 2
84 +
85 +
# Item 1
86 +
# Item 1.a
87 +
# Item 1.b
88 +
# Item 1.b.i
89 +
# Item 1.b.ii
90 +
# Item 2
91 +
}}}
92 +
93 +
Display:
94 +
95 +
* Item 1
96 +
* Item 1.1
97 +
* Item 2
98 +
99 +
# Item 1
100 +
# Item 1.a
101 +
# Item 1.b
102 +
# Item 1.b.i
103 +
# Item 1.b.ii
104 +
# Item 2
105 +
106 +
Note that there must be one or more spaces preceding the list item markers, otherwise the list will be treated as a normal paragraph.
107 +
108 +
== Definition Lists ==
109 +
110 +
The wiki also supports definition lists.
111 +
112 +
Example:
113 +
114 +
{{{
115 +
llama::
116 +
some kind of mammal, with hair
117 +
ppython::
118 +
some kind of reptile, without hair
119 +
(can you spot the typo?)
120 +
}}}
121 +
122 +
Display:
123 +
124 +
llama::
125 +
some kind of mammal, with hair
126 +
ppython::
127 +
some kind of reptile, without hair
128 +
(can you spot the typo?)
129 +
130 +
131 +
Note that you need a space in front of the defined term.
132 +
133 +
== Preformatted Text ==
134 +
135 +
Block containing preformatted text are suitable for source code snippets, notes and examples. Use three ''curly braces'' wrapped around the text to define a block quote. The curly braces need to be on a separate line.
136 +
137 +
Example:
138 +
139 +
{{{
140 +
{{{
141 +
def HelloWorld():
142 +
print "Hello World"
143 +
}}}
144 +
}}}
145 +
146 +
Display:
147 +
148 +
{{{
149 +
def HelloWorld():
150 +
print "Hello World"
151 +
}}}
152 +
153 +
Note that this type of formatting can also be used to display html with minor changes in the syntax.
154 +
See [Help:WikiHtml] for details.
155 +
156 +
== Tables ==
157 +
158 +
Simple tables can be created like this:
159 +
160 +
{{{
161 +
||Cell 1||Cell 2||Cell 3||
162 +
||Cell 4||Cell 5||Cell 6||
163 +
}}}
164 +
165 +
Display:
166 +
167 +
||Cell 1||Cell 2||Cell 3||
168 +
||Cell 4||Cell 5||Cell 6||
169 +
170 +
171 +
== Links ==
172 +
173 +
Hyperlinks are automatically created for WikiPageNames and URLs. !WikiPageLinks can be disabled by prepending an exclamation mark "!" character, such as {{{!WikiPageLink}}}.
174 +
175 +
Example:
176 +
177 +
{{{
178 +
MainPage, http://www.edgewall.com/, !NotAlink
179 +
}}}
180 +
181 +
Display:
182 +
183 +
MainPage, http://www.edgewall.com/, !NotAlink
184 +
185 +
Links can be given a more descriptive title by writing the link followed by a space and a title and all this inside square brackets. If the descriptive title is omitted, then the explicit prefix is discarded, unless the link is an external link. This can be useful for wiki pages not adhering to the WikiPageNames convention.
186 +
187 +
Example:
188 +
189 +
{{{
190 +
* [http://www.edgewall.com/ Edgewall Software]
191 +
* [MainPage Main Page]
192 +
* [Help:WikiMacros]
193 +
}}}
194 +
195 +
Display:
196 +
197 +
* [http://www.edgewall.com/ Edgewall Software]
198 +
* [MainPage Main Page]
199 +
* [Help:WikiMacros]
200 +
201 +
== Escaping Links and WikiPageNames ==
202 +
203 +
You may avoid making hyperlinks out of TracLinks by preceding an expression with a single "!" (exclamation mark).
204 +
205 +
Example:
206 +
207 +
{{{
208 +
!NoHyperLink
209 +
}}}
210 +
211 +
Display:
212 +
213 +
!NoHyperLink
214 +
215 +
== Images ==
216 +
217 +
The simplest way to include an image is to upload it as attachment to the current page, and put the filename in a macro call like `[[Image(picture.gif)]]`.
218 +
219 +
In addition to the current page, it is possible to refer to other resources:
220 +
221 +
* `[[Image(picture.gif)]]` (simplest)
222 +
* `[[Image(picture.gif, 120px)]]` (give it a specific width)
223 +
* `[[Image(picture.gif, align-right)]]` (add the CSS class "align-right" to the image)
224 +
* `[[Image(picture.gif, nolink)]]` (unlinked)
225 +
* `[[Image(picture.gif, align=right)]]` (align by attribute)
226 +
227 +
See [Help:WikiMacros Help: Wiki Macros] for further documentation on the `[[Image()]]` macro.
228 +
229 +
== Macros ==
230 +
231 +
Macros are ''custom functions'' to insert dynamic content in a page.
232 +
233 +
Example:
234 +
235 +
{{{
236 +
[[Timestamp]]
237 +
}}}
238 +
239 +
Display:
240 +
241 +
[[Timestamp]]
242 +
243 +
See [Help:WikiMacros Wiki Macros] for more information, and a list of installed macros.
244 +
245 +
== Miscellaneous ==
246 +
247 +
Four or more dashes will be replaced by a horizontal line.
248 +
249 +
Example:
250 +
251 +
{{{
252 +
----
253 +
}}}
254 +
255 +
Display:
256 +
257 +
