Slot_Calculator_Demo 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 be automatically 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, or as inline images if they have the extension .gif or .jpg

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:

  • Use 6 equals signs (=) on a line by itself to begin a block of text which is taken literally - no recognition of urls, etc. and end the block by another line of 6 equals signs.
  • Use 3 equals signs (=) on a line by itself to begin a block of text which is shown in fixed font, but which still provides recognition of urls, etc. ; end the block by another line of 3 equals signs.

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

  • See formatting rules for table declaration, headers, option/value blocks, and more.

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.

It usually works (for non-pathological cases) just fine if you put everything on a single line. Experiment on the Graffiti page if you want to check whether anything in particular will work.


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