WikiLinks are formed by two or more words in camel-case.
WikiLinks are formed by two or more words in /camel-case/.
External links begin with http://, like http://www.freepan.org
External links begin with http://, like http://www.freepan.org
On some cases links can appear as http://. This means that you entered an address that is not whitelisted. Wait for an admin to whitelist it.
Forced wiki links are a alphanumeric string surrounded by square brackets.
Forced wiki [links] are a alphanumeric string surrounded by square brackets.
Named http links have text with an http: link inside, like FreePAN Site
Named http links have text with an http:// link inside, like [FreePAN http://www.freepan.org Site]
Sometimes WordsShouldNotMakeAWikiLink so put a '!' beforehand.
Sometimes !WordsShouldNotMakeAWikiLink so put a '!' beforehand.
Same thing with http://foobar.com
Same thing with !http://foobar.com
Mailto links are just email addresses like foo@bar.com.
Mailto links are just email addresses like foo@bar.com.

Links to images display the image:

.
Unordered lists begin with a '* '. The number of asterisks determines the level:
* foo
* bar
** boom
** bam
* baz
.
Ordered lists begin with a '0 ' (zero):
- foo
- bar
- boom
- bam
- baz
0 foo
0 bar
00 boom
00 bam
0 baz
.
You can mix lists too:
- Today:
- Eat icecream
- Buy a pony
- Tomorrow:
- Eat more icecream
- Buy another pony
* Today:
00 Eat icecream
00 Buy a pony
* Tomorrow:
00 Eat more icecream
00 Buy another pony
.
This feature no longer works correctly in Kwiki >0.31. Notice that this produces two unordered lists at the top level, instead of one. –MattHoward
Any text that does not begin in the first column is rendered as preformatted text.
foo bar
x y
1 2
.
You can comment out wiki-text with '# ' at the beginning of a line. This will make the text an html comment:
# These lines have been
# commented out
.
Simple Tables:
| | Dick | Jane |
| height | 72" | 65" |
| weight | 130lbs | 150lbs |
NOTE - Do not leave any trailing whitespaces - they cause all kinds of strange formatting errors (RajendraGokhale).
Inline HTML is escaped.
<hr> <bold>No?</bold> <i>Yes?</i> <hr/>
Renders as: <hr> <bold>No?</bold> <i>Yes?<i> <hr>
Notice the '/' character in the tags is being rendered as italic markers.
To prevent IE6 from rendering pages that contain preformatted text wrong, add a dot after each preformatted text block like I have done in this page. This is a temporary work-around, until the bug reported by MichaelIvey at BugReports is fixed. – DennieReniers
