---

Paragraphs

• Don't indent paragraphs
• Words wrap and fill as needed
• Use blank lines as separators
• Four or more minus signs make a horizontal rule
• %%% or <br> makes a linebreak (in headings and lists too)

Lists

• asterisk for first level

  • indented asterisk (indent at least two spaces) for second level, etc.
• Use *, -, + or o for bullet lists, # for numbered lists (mix at will)

• Definition lists:

  Term:
    definition

  gives

  Term

  definition

  as in the <DL><DT><DD> list

• Items may contain multiple paragraphs and other multi-lined content, just indent the items

Headings

• '!' at the start of a line makes a small heading
• '!!' at the start of a line makes a medium heading
• '!!!' at the start of a line makes a large heading

Preformatted text

• Place preformatted lines inside <pre>:

  <pre>
  Preformatted text. WikiLinks still work.
  </pre>

  gives

  Preformatted text. WikiLinks still work.

• If you want text with no Wiki interaction, use the <verbatim> tag:

  <verbatim>
  Preformatted text. WikiLinks do not work.
  </verbatim>

  gives

  Preformatted text. WikiLinks do not work.

Indented Paragraphs

• Two or more whitespaces signal indented text. Indents may be nested.

  This is an indented block of text.

  This block is even more indented.

• E-mail style block-quoting is supported as well:

  > This is block-quoted text.

  renders as

  This is block-quoted text.

Emphasis

• Use an underscore (_) for emphasis (usually italics)
• Use an asterisk (*) for strong emphasis (usually bold)
• Mix them at will: bold italics

• Emphasis can be used multiple times within a paragraph, but cannot cross paragraph boundaries:

  _this

  will not work_

References

• Hyperlinks to other pages within the Wiki are made by placing the page name in square brackets: this is a page link or UsingWikiWords (preferred)
• Hyperlinks to external pages are done like this: http://www.wcsb.org/
• You can name the links by providing a name, a bar (|) and then the hyperlink or pagename: PhpWiki home page --- the front page
• You can suppress linking to old-style references and URIs by preceding the word with a '~', e.g. NotLinkedAsWikiName, http://not.linked.to/
• Also, the old way of linking URL's is still supported: precede URLs with "http:", "ftp:" or "mailto:" to create links automatically as in: http://c2.com/
• URLs ending with .png, .gif, or .jpg are inlined if in square brackets, by themselves:

• In-page hyperlinks are made by placing a named anchor and referring to the anchor in a hyperlink:

  • Named anchors:

    • #[foo]: An anchor around the text "foo" with id "foo".
    • #[|foo]: An empty anchor with id "foo".
    • #[howdy|foo]: An anchor around the text "howdy" with id "foo".
  • References to name anchors are made thusly:
    [##hyperlinks], [OtherPage#foo], [named|OtherPage#foo].

Tables

• Definition list style tables are written just like definition lists, except that you replace the trailing colon on the term with a "pipe" (|).

  Term 1 |
     Definition 1 begins here.
     Term 1.1 |
        Definition 1.1
     Term 1.2 |
        Definition 1.2
     This is part of definition 1.
  Term 2 |
     Here's definition 2.

  Term 1	Definition 1 begins here.
  	Term 1.1	Definition 1.1
  	Term 1.2	Definition 1.2
  	This is part of definition 1.
  Term 2	Here's definition 2.

• Old-style tables are supported through the OldStyleTablePlugin:

HTML Mark-Up Language

• Some in-line markup is allowed through the use of HTML tags: b, big, i, small, tt, em, strong, abbr, acronym, cite, code, dfn, kbd, samp, var, ^sup and _sub
• < and > are themselves
• The & characters will not work

Creating various kinds of special links

• See MagicPhpWikiURLs for gory details on how to write various kind of wiki maintenance and other special links.

Inserting plugins

• Several plugins permit embedding additional functionality to Wiki pages. For example,

  <?plugin BackLinks page=HomePage info=hits ?>

  gives

  320 pages link to HomePage:
