- Bold: Add three single quotation marks before and after the text. Example: bold text
- Italic: Add two single quotation marks before and after the text. Example: italic text
Subtitles and Headings
Headings are created using the equal sign (=). The number of equal signs determines the heading level:
- Heading level 1: = Heading 1 =
- Heading level 2: == Heading 2 ==
- Heading level 3: === Heading 3 ===
Lists
Lists can be ordered or unordered:
- Unordered list: Use asterisks (*) before items. Example:
* Item 1 * Item 2 * Subitem 2.1
- Ordered list: Use numbers followed by a period. Example:
# First item # Second item # Subitem 2.1
Links
To create internal and external links, use the following syntax:
- Internal link: Article Name or Link Text
- External link: [www.example.com Link Text]
Advanced Formats
Tables
To create tables, use the following syntax:
Header 1 | Header 2 |
---|---|
Row 1, Column 1 | Row 1, Column 2 |
Row 2, Column 1 | Row 2, Column 2 |
Citations and References
- Citation: Use the greater-than sign (>) for citations. Example: > Citation
- Reference: Use the syntax <ref>Reference text</ref> and, at the end of the article, add == References == to list the references.
Code and Templates
To include code blocks, use triple backticks:
Code
Templates are included with double curly braces:
Images and Files
To add images and files, use the following syntax:
- Image:
- File: File:File name.extension
Conclusion and Additional Tips
Learning to format text in wiki code allows you to create well-structured and easy-to-read content. Explore the advanced features of your wiki platform to further enhance your edits.
