JC: Yes, a funny title. There's a mixup with the Formatting Rules page. At least it has the same info for now... (if you make a change, please change both pages)


References:

  1. You can refer to another page by putting its name in square brackets like this: [PAGE]
  2. URLs will automatically be recognized and underlined: http://your.site/contents.html
  3. If you put URL's in square brackets, they'll be shown as a tiny reference [L1 ] instead

Adding highlights:

  • Surround text by pairs of single quotes to make it display in italic
  • Surround text by triples of single quotes to make it display in bold

Adding structure to your text:

  • Lines of text are normally joined, with empty lines used to delineate paragraphs
  • Lines starting with three spaces, a "*", and another space are shown as bulleted items. The entire item must be entered as one line (possibly wrapping)
  • To create a numbered list, replace the "*" by "1."
  • To create a tagged list, use: three spaces, item tag, ":", three spaces, item text
   All other lines starting with white space are shown as is.
  • Put four or more dashes on a line to get a horizontal separator, like the "----" below:

Note: there's no way YET to undo or go back in history once changes are saved


To get more than one highlight on a single line, you can use returns to break the line in separate physicial lines. WiKit will concatenate them all into one. So if you do this (without indents):

   I'm going to ''draw''
   your ''attention''.

You'll end up with: I'm going to draw your attention.


Using brackets in your text can be done by doubling them, so [[ shows as [.
