Editing/Formatting a Wikki Document

The first character entered on a line often controls the formatting of the text on that line (shades of Fortran), in brief (see below and sub pages for details). Expanded list These are the basics:

Section Headings

• = Section Heading 1 =
• == Section Heading 2 ==
• === Section Heading Three ===
• ==== Section Heading Four ====
• ===== Section Heading 5 =====
• ====== Section Heading 6 ======

Lists, Tables and Spacing=

• ":" colon causes text to be indented
• "=" equals - followed by a space - creates a heading, a trailing "=" - preceded by a space - is required
• "*" asterisk creates a bulleted list
• "#" hash creates a numbered list
• ";" semicolon creates a definition list, a ":" colon is required subsequently on the same line
• "----" four hyphens creates a horizontal line
• "||" vertical bar creates a table
• " " space causes text to appear in a monospaced font where spaces are significant

Text Formatting

1. Two quotes together ' ' make things italic
2. Three quotes together ' ' ' make things bold
3. Four or more quotes give bold italic

Indented :/ Bulleted */ Numbered # Text:

1.  : Text to be indented (quote-block)
2.  :: Text indented more
3.  ::: Text indented to third level

Paragraphs

• A single blank line separates paragraphs
• A single line containing 4 or more dashes (-) makes a page break
• > indents
• > > indents more
