This is various notes on wiki syntax and examples as well as links to better documentation. You may be able to find what you want here, edit and copy, and then go to the page that you want to use that format on.

Editing pages

Line breaks while editing (just 1 line break)

apparantly line breaks don't matter when editing your text.

Line breaks while editing (more than 1 line break)

If you want a line break, use 2 line breaks.

Or...
an html br tag

Start new line with a semicolon if you want it bold too

semicolons also

do something.

Like start new

lines and

bold

Indenting with colons

colons do something

as well.

which seems

to be indent

and new lines.

one : indents once

two : indents twice

three...

Block quoting

The blockquote command will indent both margins when needed instead of the left margin only as the colon does. However I need to write lots of words to make it to the right edge and wrap the text to the left again. Perhaps even make it onto three lines.

Center text with center tags

Centered text.

Centered text.
with a html break tag

Lists of all sorts

• Unordered lists are easy to do: *
  • Start every line with a star. **
    • More stars indicate a deeper level. ***

  Previous item continues. *

  • A new line **
• in a list *

marks the end of the list.

• Of course you can start again. *
• start with start
• to make a
• bulleted list
• of whatever

1. Numbered lists are: #
   1. Very organized ##
   2. Easy to follow ##

   Previous item continues #

A new line marks the end of the list.

1. New numbering starts with 1. #
2. Probably the list you want
3. this one here
4. where things
5. are numbered in order
   1. and occasionally have short
   2. numbered sublists
   3. about something small
6. then resume after that
7. short sublist

1. list item A1
   1. list item B1
   2. list item B2

   continuing list item A1

2. list item A2

1. list item A1
   1. list item B1
   2. list item B2
   continuing list item A1
2. list item A2

1. list item A1
   1. list item B1
      1. list item C1

      continuing list item B1

   2. list item B2
2. list item A2

1. One
2. Two
   1. Two point one
3. Three

Italics by 2 '

You can italicize text by putting 2 apostrophes on each side.

Bold by 3 '

3 apostrophes will bold the text.

Bold italics by 5 '

5 apostrophes will bold and italicize the text.

Computer code

Computer code has a colored background and more stringent formatting. Suppose we want to define int main():

<source lang=cpp>#include <iostream> int main ( int argc, char **argv ) {

   std::cout << "Hello World!";
   return 0;

}</source>

<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">#include <iostream> int main ( int argc, char **argv ) {

   std::cout << "Hello World!";
   return 0;

}</syntaxhighlight>

code tags are good for code too. C:\Documents and Settings\gis\Desktop\surveys\Work>ogr2ogr -f "PostgreSQL" PG:"host=localhost user=postgres dbname=mydatabase password=mypassword" Surveys.shp -nln surveys -overwrite -skipfailures -nlt MULTIPOLYGON -a_srs "EPSG:2913"

Small text

You can use small text for captions.

Big text

Better stay away from big text, unless it's within small text.

Strikout with tags

You can strike out deleted material

Underline with tags

and underline new material.

Lots of other editing markup and misc

You can also mark deleted material and inserted material using logical markup. For backwards compatibility better combine this potentially ignored new logical with the old physical markup.

Mr. Smith or 400 km/h want to stay together and not get separated over multiple lines using an html non-breaking space nbsp.

Preserve formatting

Leading spaces are another way to preserve formatting.

Putting a space at the beginning of each line
stops the text   from being reformatted. 
It still interprets Wiki markup and
special characters: →

Templates still need better understanding by me

This template takes two parameters, and creates underlined text with a hover box for many modern browsers supporting CSS:

Template:H:title

Go to this page to see the H:title template itself: Template:Tl

Creating links to other internal wiki pages

Creating a link to a new page by putting the name in 2 sets of brackets Reference an existing page with the same syntax of 2 sets of brackets: Installation

Inserting images (and links to parts of other- or the same pages)

Right now, the upload directory is not public so this doesn't work. Down below are some examples that probably need more work.

Tables

Example 1

Multiplication table

×	1	2	3
1	1	2	3
2	2	4	6
3	3	6	9
4	4	8	12

Example 2

d	20	2008-11-24	This
b	8	2004-03-01	column
a	6	1979-07-23	cannot
c	4	1492-12-08	be
e	0	1601-08-13	sorted.

Printers

Sortable table
