This page describes the wiki syntax used by JSPWiki, the Wiki Engine being used here.
---- = make a horizontal ruler. Extra '-' is ignored. \\ = force a line break [link] = create a hyperlink to an internal WikiPage called 'Link'. [this is also a link] = create a hyperlink to an internal WikiPage called 'ThisIsAlsoALink' but show the link as typed with spaces. [a sample|link] = create a hyperlink to an internal WikiPage called 'Link', but display the text 'a sample' to the user instead of 'Link'. ~NoLink = disable link creation for the word in CamelCase. [1] = make a reference to a footnote numbered 1. [#1] = mark the footnote number 1. [link] = create text '[link]'. !heading = small heading with text 'heading' !!heading = medium heading with text 'heading' !!!heading = large heading with text 'heading' ''text'' = print 'text' in italic. __text__ = print 'text' in bold. {{text}} = print 'text' in monospaced (fixed pitch) font. [text|] = print 'text' underscored (dummy hyperlink) - the link with a pipe, but no page to go to * text = make a bulleted list item with 'text' # text = make a numbered list item with 'text' ;term:ex = make a definition for 'term' with the explanation 'ex'
Links to external sites can be made by indicating the UTL starting with a "protocol" like http:, ftp:, mailto:, https:, or news:. (i.e., to point at the java.sun.com home page, use [http://java.sun.com], which becomes http://java.sun.com/ or [Java home page|http://java.sun.com], which becomes Java home page).
Note that a link to another page will open in the same browser window/tab unless you indicate a different "target" (i.e. [from Adobe|http://get.adobe.com/|target='_blank'] becomes from Adobe which opens in a different page)
If you do not start the link with one of the above "protocols", the wiki assumes a normal link to another page in the wiki space, you need to use a letter as the first character of the page, purely numeric page names are not allowed. If you want to use square brackets ([]) in the page without creating a hyperlink, use two opening square brackets. So the text [[Example Non-Link]] will appear as [Example Non-Link].
To add a new page you just create a link to it from somewhere else. After all, there isn't much point in having a page if you can't access it! You'll then see a the link to the page name underscored in RED when you return to that page. Then click on it and you have created a new page!
You can also make a named footnote, just as if you were doing a normal hyperlink, such as [Footnote name|1] as another way of referring to the first footnote[Footnote name]. Or you can put the custom name at the footnote itself[2].
* One \\ one and a half * Two * Three ** Three.Onecreates
# One \\ one and a half # Two # Three ## Three.Onecreates
* This is a single-line item. * This is actually a multi-line item. We continue the second sentence on a line on a line of its own. We might as well do a third line while we're at it... Notice, however, as all these sentences get put inside a single item! * The third line is again a single-line item for your convenience.produces:
;Construct:Something you use to do something withis rendered as:
;:''Comment here.''Which would be seen as
|| Heading 1 || Heading 2 | ''Gobble'' | Bar \\ foo | [Main] | [SandBox]gives you the following table. Note how you can use links also inside tables.
Heading 1 | Heading 2 |
---|---|
Gobble | Bar foo |
Main | SandBox |
tables can also be "striped" by prefixing it with the special style %%zebra-table and ending the table with %%
For example, referencing a file attached to another wiki page :
[wikipagename/attachment.pdf]
Or, if the file is attached to the current wiki page you can use :
[attachment.pdf]
A word of warning: If you use the Back button of your browser to go into the Edit page, you will almost certainly get a conflict. This is because the browser thinks it's still editing an earlier copy of the page.
[{InsertPage page='News'}]will include the page referenced at this point.
Put the following on the "PageAliases" -page:
[{SET alias='PageAlias'}]
Every time someone views the page "PageAliases", they will be automatically redirected to this page. This is very useful if you want to be able to use the irregular plural forms, for example. Normally, The WikiEngine does properly recognize English language plural forms of page names (i.e. if the page is called Concept, you can link to it as concept or concepts, but it's not smart enough to recognize certain forms, such as "aliases".
Obviously you cannot click on the "Edit this page" -link, because you are redirected every time you try to view a page. You can, however, edit the page directly by just writing Edit.jsp?page=pagename after the base URL.
Screen captures are meant to be indicative of the concept being presented and may not reflect the current screen design.
