Formatting Rules

WikiNames don't automatically turn into links. You must place the link between square brackets (note: to create a new page, simply enter its name in brackets, then save and click on the brackets).

References:

1. You can refer to another page by putting its name in square brackets like this: [PAGE]
2. URLs will be automatically recognized and underlined: http://your.site/contents.html
3. If you put URL's in square brackets, they'll be shown as a tiny reference [1] instead, or as inline images if they have the extension .gif (or .jpeg, I suppose)

Adding highlights:

• Surround text by pairs of single quotes to make it display in italic
• Surround text by triples of single quotes to make it display in bold

Adding structure to your text:

• Lines of text are normally joined, with empty lines used to delineate paragraphs
• Lines starting with three spaces, a "*", and another space are shown as bulleted items. The entire item must be entered as one line (possibly wrapping)
• To create a numbered list, replace the "*" by "1."
• To create a tagged list, use: three spaces, item tag, ":", three spaces, item text

   All other lines starting with white space are shown as is.

• Put four or more dashes on a line to get a horizontal separator, like the "----" below:

Note: there's no way YET to undo or go back in history once changes are saved

To get more than one highlight on a single line, you can use returns to break the line in separate physicial lines. WiKit will concatenate them all into one. So if you do this (without indents):

   I'm going to ''draw''
   your ''attention''.

You'll end up with: I'm going to draw your attention.

It usually works (for non-pathological cases) just fine if you put everything on a single line. Experiment on the Graffiti page if you want to check whether anything in particular will work.

Using brackets in your text can be done by doubling them, so [[ shows as [.
