Wiki Formatting Rule Summary
- Blank lines are paragraph breaks
- Bullets are "*" surrounded by two spaces at the beginning of a line
- Enumeration items are "#" or a digit and a "." surrounded by two spaces at the beginning of a line
- Indented paragraphs begin with a tab or two spaces
- Hyperlinks are contained within square brackets: "[target]" or "[target|label]"
- Most ordinary HTML works
- <verbatim> and <nowiki>
We call the first five rules above the "wiki" formatting rules. The last two rules are the HTML formatting rules.
Formatting Rule Details
- Paragraphs. Any sequence of one or more blank lines forms a paragraph break. Centered or right-justified paragraphs are not supported by wiki markup, but you can do these things if you need them using HTML.
- Bullet Lists. A bullet list item is a line that begins with a single "*" character surrounded on both sides by two or more spaces or by a tab. Only a single level of bullet list is supported by wiki. For nested lists, use HTML.
- Enumeration Lists. An enumeration list item is a line that begins with a single "#" character surrounded on both sides by two or more spaces or by a tab. Or it can be a number and a "." (ex: "5.") surrounded on both sides by two spaces or a tab. Only a single level of enumeration list is supported by wiki. For nested lists or for enumerations that count using letters or roman numerals, use HTML.
- Indented Paragraphs. Any paragraph that begins with two or more spaces or a tab and which is not a bullet or enumeration list item is rendered indented. Only a single level of indentation is supported by wiki. Use HTML for deeper indentation.
- Hyperlinks. Text within square brackets ("[...]") becomes a hyperlink. The target can be a wiki page name, the artifact ID of a check-in or ticket, the name of an image, a URL, or an interwiki link of the form "Tag:PageName". By default, the target is displayed as the text of the hyperlink. But you can specify alternative text after the target name separated by a "|" character. You can also link to internal anchor names using [#anchor-name], providing you have added the necessary "<a name='anchor-name'></a>" tag to your wiki page.
- HTML. The following standard HTML elements may be used: <a> <address> <article> <aside> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br> <center> <cite> <code> <col> <colgroup> <dd> <del> <dfn> <div> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <footer> <ins> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <header> <hr> <i> <img> <kbd> <li> <nav> <nobr> <nowiki> <ol> <p> <pre> <s> <samp> <section> <small> <span> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <tbody> <td> <tfoot> <th> <thead> <title> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul> <var> <verbatim>. There are two non-standard elements available: <verbatim> and <nowiki>. No other elements are allowed. All attributes are checked and only a few benign attributes are allowed on each element. In particular, any attributes that specify javascript or CSS are elided.
- Special Markup. The <nowiki> tag disables all wiki formatting rules through the matching </nowiki> element. The <verbatim> tag works like <pre> with the addition that it also disables all wiki and HTML markup through the matching </verbatim>. Text within <verbatim type="pikchr">...</verbatim> is formatted using Pikchr.
