- Until it gets out of hand...
- The more you colon the more you indent
The "pre" command preseves formatting and types in a block (very nice for computer code)
You can do the same by using a leading space
About line breaks
Merely pressing enter does not make line breaks.
Adding the
break command
does.
Double enter
makes paragraph
breaks.
About links
Internal links
Code:
[[Some Wiki Page|My page]]
Results in:
My page : Links to the wiki page "Some Wiki Page" and displays "My page" as the link. If the text after the pipe (|) is ommited, then the page name e.g. "Some Wiki Page" will display as the link.
External links
Code:
[http://www.google.com Google]
Results in:
Google : Links to the external site "http://www.google.com" and displays "Google" as the link. Text after the URL (separated by a space) is handled as plain text for the link. Simply typing an URL e.g. http://www.google.com will shown the full URL as a link.
Happy wiki'ing (by the way, these are lines, use sparingly)
