Basic Formatting

Typing in text will usually result in a pretty decent output.

Just skip a line to create a new paragraph.

Text can be bold. It can be in italics. Other HTML formats are, ~~of course~~, ^possible.

Automatic code highlighting

Wikimedia also includes automatic code highlighting.

declare
    type t_address is  record (
        name address.name%type,
        street address.street%type,
        street_number address.street_number%type,
        postcode address.postcode%type);
    v_address t_address;
begin
    select name, street, street_number, postcode into v_address from address where rownum = 1;
end;

All that is needed is to include the code within a <syntaxhighlight lang="PLSQL"></syntaxhighlight> tag.

Organization

Sub-headers

Sub-header can help keep the page organized. They also automatically trigger the creation of a table of contents at the top of an article once it has enough of them.

Unordered Lists

As can unordered lists:

First Level
- Second Level A
- Second Level B
  - Third Level
Multiple paragraphs can also be under the same item.
Second Level C

Ordered Lists

Ordered list are also an option:

First Level A
1. Second Level
  1. Third Level A
  2. Third Level B
Still with multiple paragraphs
First Level B

Indentation

Indentation is also possible

First Level

Second Level

Third Level

Tables

While a little more complex, wiki table mark-up is still pretty simple:

top-left	top-middle	top-right
middle-left	middle	middle-right
bottom-left	bottom-middle	bottom-right

The HTML table syntax also works.

Links

I almost forgot to include this and yet it is probably one of the most important feature of any website.

As illustrated above, internal links to the wiki are created using [[double square-brackets]]. Capitalization doesn't matter. If the link should show different text than the article title, include a vertical line after the article title; what comes after will be the link text.

If an internal link points to a page that does not yet exist, it will be highlighted in red. Clinking on the link will take the user to an edit page where they can create the content associated with that page. For example: jfie92-743j.

External links just use single square-brackets. (i.e. [1]) Since URLs can't contain spaces, a single space is used to separate the link URL from its text. (i.e. Google)
