Paragraphs and newlines

Paragraphs are separated by two new lines. One new line produces a… new line.

First paragraph. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

Second paragraph. Aenean a libero. Vestibulum adipiscing, felis ac faucibus imperdiet, erat lacus accumsan neque, vitae nonummy lorem pede ac elit.
Just a new line.
Another new line.

First paragraph. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

Comments

A comment is a source block that is not rendered in the compiled version. To add a comment to the source use [!-- ... --] construct, e.g.:

[!--
This text will not be rendered.
--]

Lists

Bulleted Lists

Make a list element by starting a line with an asterisk. To increase indent put extra spaces
before the asterisk.

* Bullet 1
* Bullet 2
 * Bullet 2.1
  • Bullet 1
  • Bullet 2
    • Bullet 2.1

Numbered Lists

Similarly, you can create numbered lists by starting a paragraph with one or more hashes.

# Item 1
# Item 2
 # Item 2.1
  1. Item 1
  2. Item 2
    1. Item 2.1

You can mix bulleted lists and number lists.

Definition Lists

You can create a definition (description) list with the following syntax:

: Item 1 : Something
: Item 2 : Something else
Item 1
Something
Item 2
Something else

Block Quotes

You can mark a blockquote by starting a line with one or more '>' characters, followed by a space and the text to be quoted.

This is normal text here.

> Indent me! The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. \
Now this the time for all good men to come to the aid of \
their country. Notice how we can continue the block-quote \
in the same "paragraph" by using a backslash at the end of \
the line.
>
> Another block, leading to...
>> Second level of indenting. This second is indented even \
more than the previous one.

Back to normal text.

Indent me! The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Now this the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. Notice how we can continue the block-quote in the same "paragraph" by using a backslash at the end of the line.
Another block, leading to…

Second level of indenting. This second is indented even more than the previous one.

Back to normal text.

Links

Internal links

Unlike some other wiki engines wikibox.net does not process SqusherAndCapitalized words as page links. Instead any link should be marked with 3 nesting square brackets.

If a page address contains disallowed characters the address will be "unixified" to contain only allowed chars. The displayed name however will maintain original form.

what you type what you get comments
[[[link-to-a-page]]] link-to-a-page using raw page name
[[[link "TO" ą pagE]]] link "TO" ą pagE automatic purification of destination page
[[[category: sample page]]] sample page linked to a page with category
[[[some page| custom text]]] [[[some page| custom text]] using custom text
[[[doc|Documentation]]] Ducumentation linking to an existing page (different color)
[[[doc#toc1|Section 1]]] Section 1 linking to an anchor (first section)
[[[doc#toc1]]] doc linking to an anchor (first section)

URLs

what you type what you get comments

[# empty link] empty link link with href="javascript:;" i.e. not leading anywhere. usefull when constructing pull-down menus

Emails

support@example.com moc.elpmaxe|troppus#moc.elpmaxe|troppus simple inline email
[support@example.com email me!] moc.elpmaxe|troppus#!em liame custom anchor

Although we discourage anyone from putting his/her email address on the web, WikiDot engine provides a simple scrambling mechanism to prevent automated bots from reading emails. Each email is scrambled and it is decoded in the client's browser. So it is not 100% spam-safe, but much safer than plain-text emails.

Tables

Simple tables

You can create simple tables using pairs of vertical bars:

||~ head 1 ||~ head 2 ||~ head 3 ||
|| cell 1 || cell 2 || cell 3 ||
|||| long cell 4 || cell 5 ||
||cell 6 |||| long cell 7 ||
|||||| looong cell 8||
head 1 head 2 head 3
cell 1 cell 2 cell 3
long cell 4 cell 5
cell 6 long cell 7
looong cell 8
|| lines must start and end || with double vertical bars || nothing ||
|| cells are separated by || double vertical bars || nothing ||
|||| you can span multiple columns by || starting each cell ||
|| with extra cell |||| separators ||
|||||| but perhaps an example is _
the easiest way to see ||

For a newline inside the table cell use _ (underscore) at the end of the line (see the example above).

Footnotes

To make footnotes in the text use [[footnote]] block. To force the list of footnotes
to appear not at the end of the page, use [[footnoteblock]].

Some text[[footnote]]And a small footnote.[[/footnote]]. Here we go
with another footnote[[footnote]]Content of another footnote.[[/footnote]].

[[footnoteblock]]

Some text1. Here we go with another footnote2.

If you are not satisfied with the default title ("Footnotes") you can force your own title by using [[footnoteblock title="Custom title"]] or even do not use title at all (title="").
