Tags

You can use HTML tags if you really need to. To use < and >, you can either use &lt; and &gt; or << and >>.

Paragraphs

Paragraphs are separated by an empty line

This is a new paragraph.

Headings

Headings can be specified by enclosing them in equal-signs. More signs means a smaller header, with a minimum of two.

Monospace

A line that is prepended with __ (two underscores) will be put in monospace font (ie. between <pre> tags).

monospace example

If you want to monospace multiple lines, you can use _NO_WIKI_ and normal <pre> tags.

</pre>
_NO_WIKI_END_

Links

Links are specified by enclosing them in double square brackets:

http://www.jelte.nlnetlabs.nl

[[http://www.jelte.nlnetlabs.nl]]

You can specify the text for the link like this:

Jelte's Website!

[[http://www.jelte.nlnetlabs.nl][Jelte's Website!]]

If you need additional HTML code in the tag, you can use a third argument for that:

link

[[http://www.jelte.nlnetlabs.nl][link][class="big"]]

Images

Images are specified like links, with square brackets. The URL part looks like this: Image:<url>[|<alt-tag>]

The text of the alt-tag will appear instead of the image in browsers that cannot display images, and in the tooltip for browsers that can. If you do not specify an alt-tag, it will be replaced by the filename.

[[Image:example_image.png|example image]]

You can specify extra options between the url and the alt-tag, separated by |:

• <size>px
  The image will be scaled to a width of <size> pixels.
  
• thumb
  The image will be enclosed by a link to the image itself.
  
• frame
  The image will get a border.
  

[[Image:example_image.png|64px|thumb|frame|example image thumbnail]]

You can nest an image in a link:

[[http://www.jelte.nlnetlabs.nl][[[Image:example_image.png]]]]

You can specify additional html code for the img tag in an optional second field:

[[Image:example_image.png][onclick='alert("you clicked!");']]

Lists

You can specify lists by beginning a line with a *:

• This
• is
• a
• list
  

* This
* is
* a
* list

You can nest lists by using more asterikses:

• This
• is
• a
• nested
• list
  

* This
* is
** a
** nested
* list

You can use # for numbered lists:

1. A
2. numbered
3. list
   

# A
# numbered
# list

And you can nest them both:

• This
1. is
2. a
• nested
• list
1. example
2. !
   

* This
*# is
*# a
* nested
** list
**# example
**# !

In lists, single line breaks are ignored. Single empty lines are translated to a
(linebreak) tag, and a double empty line marks the end of the list.
