Help: Editing Rules

This WIKI website is based on the idea that Less Is More, so don't get too fancy. Just typing normal text with blank lines between paragraphs is often sufficient. You should learn the first few markups below, especially so you can link to other pages.

These marks may appear anywhere on a single line, but do not nest:

  • [[Title Of Page]] --link to page in same Wiki

  • ``words to be italics''

  • ```words to be bold'''

  • ````words to be typewriter''''

    These must start in the first column, and affect the entire line:

  • * Item in a bullet list

  • /section Primary Section Title

  • /subsection Secondary Section Title

  • /b words to be bold

  • /i words to be italics

  • /tt words to be typewriter

  • /bar --draws a horizontal rule (also used to separate blurb from body in Weblog and Calendar postings)

  • / -- (lone slash then space) forces a line break

    The second word on the following is the URL or filename; remaining words are optional, and are ALT text or name displayed on link:

  • /link URL label... --link to external site

  • /file NAME label... --link to attached file

  • /image URL alt-text... --embedded image

  • /imagefile NAME.jpg alt-text... --embedded attached file image

    You may use HTML entity names for non-ASCII characters if you use both & before and ; after it. Example:

  • ΨΥ -- ΨΥ

    You may not use HTML tags; the characters < and > render as themselves.
