Getting Started with Wiki Editing
Text formatting markup
There are a few different ways to format your text on the Wiki pages.
- You can use the formatting bar options at the top of the edit window
- You can use straight wiki code
- You can use allowed HTML code
Below you'll find examples of the different formatting options available and what they will look like on your page.
Wiki Code
| character (inline) formatting – applies anywhere |
| Italic text | ''italic'' | italic |
| Bold text | '''bold''' | bold |
| Bold and italic | '''''bold & italic''''' | bold & italic |
| Strikethrough Text | Strikethrough Text | Strikethrough Text |
| Escape wiki markup |
no ''markup''
| no ''markup'' |
| | section formatting – only at the beginning of the line |
| Headings of different levels |
=level 1=
==level 2==
===level 3===
====level 4====
=====level 5=====
======level 6======
| level 1
level 2
level 3
level 4
level 5
level 6
An article with 4 or more headings automatically creates a Table of Contents (TOC). |
| Horizontal rule | ---- | ---- |
| Bullet list |
* one
* two
* three
** three point one
** three point two
Inserting a blank line will end the first list and start another. |
- one
- two
- three
- three point one
- three point two
|
| Numbered list |
- one
- two
spanning more lines
doesn't break numbering
- three
- three point one
- three point two
|
- one
- two
spanning more lines
doesn't break numbering
- three
- three point one
- three point two
|
| Definition list |
- item 1
- definition 1
- item 2
- definition 2-1
- definition 2-2
|
- item 1
- definition 1
- item 2
- definition 2-1
- definition 2-2
|
| Adopting definition list to indent text | : Single indent
- : Double indent
- :::: Multiple indent
This workaround may be controversial from the viewpoint of accessibility. |
