Quick Reference

Text Formatting Rules:

• Emphasis: for italics, for bold, for both
• Lists: * for bullet lists, # for numbered lists, ;term:definition for definition lists
• Wiki References: JoinCapitalizedWords or use page? or desc? for wiki references SomeName prevents referencing
• External links: use square brackets for an external link: URL or link_description or description (that last form prevents the local Wiki from caching the page; please use that form for large pages!). For an external Wiki, use ExternalWikiName: PageName or External Wiki Name: Page Name?
• Multi-page pages: use ...page... to separate pages.
• Misc: "!", "!!", "!!!" make_headings, "----" makes a horizontal rule "text" underlines text *__Title bar:__ "
  title
  " creates a title bar.
• Wiki File Attachments: No such attachment on this page Creates a link to the named file. If page is not given, the file must be attached to the current page. If desc is not given, the file name is used for the link text, unless showdesc is used, which makes the file description be used for the link text.
• Images: "

  foo

  " displays an image height width desc link and align are optional
• Non cacheable images: "

  foo

  " displays an image height width desc link and align are optional
• Drawings: {draw name=foo} creates an editable drawing named "foo".
• Tables: "

  row1-col1	row1-col2	row1-col3
  row2-col1	row2-col2col3

  " creates a table
• RSS feeds: "{rss id=n max=m}" displays rss feed with id=n maximum=m items
• Simple box: "
  Box content
  " Creates a box with the data
• Dynamic content: "{content id=n}" Will be replaced by the actual value of the dynamic content block with id=n
• Colored text: "some text" Will display using the indicated HTML color
• Center: "
  some text
  " Will display the text centered
• Non parsed sections: " data " Prevents wiki parsing of the enclosed data.
• Preformated sections: "

   data 

  " Displays preformated text/code; no Wiki processing is done inside these sections (as with np), and the spacing is fixed (no word wrapping is done).
• Square Brackets: Use [foo] to show foo (in the latest CVS version only).
• Block Preformatting: Indent text with any number of spaces to turn it into a monospaced block that still follows other Wiki formatting instructions. It will be indended with the same number of spaces that you used. Note that this mode does not preserve exact spacing and line breaks; use "

   data 

  " for that.
• Dynamic variables: "NaV" Inserts an editable variable
• Insert Module Output:
  Sorry no such module
  some_module
  text can be used to insert the output of module "some_module" into your Wiki page. See PluginModule for more information.
• Rendering Program Code:

  some code

  will render "some code" as program code. This plugin has other options; see PluginCode.
• Direction: "
  ", "

  ", "‏", "‎" — Insert resp. right-to-left and left-to-right text direction DIV (up to end of text) and markers for langages as arabic or hebrew.
• Misc:

• Parameter Accepted values Effect Since
• order asc, desc If set to desc, the table is printed in reverse order
• showdesc 0, 1 If set to 1, the page description is used for the link and the page name for the tooltip 1.9*
• shownum 0, 1 If set to 1, a numbered list is used
• type plain, fancy If set to fancy, TikiWiki attempts to build a sentence and (in most themes) uses the footprint bullet 1.9
