(:Summary: PmWiki's basic edit syntax:) (:Title Basic PmWiki editing rules:)

authors (basic)

The pages on this site are WikiWikiWeb pages, which means that pages can be created and edited by multiple authors. To edit a page, click the Edit link that exists somewhere on the page, usually in the header or footer. Some pages may be password-protected, depending on the system's security policies, but many systems allow open editing of pages.

When editing a page, you see the markup text that describes the content of the page. The basic rules for page markup are simple:

  1. Put a blank line between paragraphs.
  2. To make a list, start each line with # for numbered (ordered) lists or * for bulleted (unordered) lists.
  3. To make a heading, start a line with two or more ! marks; !! is a subheading, and !!! is a sub-subheading.
  4. To emphasize text, enclose it in 2 or 3 single quotes; ''text'' for italics or '''text''' for bold.
  5. To make a link to another page, enclose the page's name in double brackets; for example [[basic editing]] links to this page. Links to nonexistent pages are displayed specially, to invite others to create the page.
  6. To make a link to another site, type its address, such as http://www.example.com/ .

If you want to experiment with editing a page, try it on the WikiSandbox. You can edit the WikiSandbox without affecting anything important on this site. If you do edit other pages, it's courteous to sign your contribution; using ~~~ effectively 'signs' the name that you provide in the Author field on the Page Edit form.

Example

The table below demonstrates many of the common markups used to format pages. The right column shows the effect of the markup, the left column shows what to write to achieve the effect. More details are available from the text formatting rules and other documentation pages. An exhaustive list of default markup is available as the markup master index

General Usage

(:table class='markup horiz' align='center':) (:cellnr class='markup1':) What to type (:cell class='markup2':) What it looks like (:tableend:)

(:markup class=horiz:) An empty line

starts a new paragraph. (:markupend:)

(:markup class=horiz:) A single newline usually doesn't affect the layout. Use two backslashes
to break a line.
Use three backslashes

for two line breaks. (:markupend:)

(:markup class=horiz:) A single backslash joins the next line to the previous one. (:markupend:)

Lists

(:markup class=horiz:)

  • lists are created by using asterisks
    • more asterisks produce deeper lists
      • the list is terminated

by the first line that is not a list (:markupend:)

(:markup class=horiz:)

  1. Numbered lists
  2. are also possible
    1. more hashes produced deeper lists
      • and lists can nest
use list styles to maintain numbering
  1. Text between list items can cause numbering to restart
  2. this can be dealt with

(:markupend:)

(:markup class=horiz:)

An arrow (->) indents content.
Line up text to continue the indent.
Longer arrows (-->) indent further.
A reverse arrow (-<) creates a hanging indent, the first line is outdented and remaining lines are indented.
Longer reverse arrows (--<) indent further.

(:markupend:)

(:markup class=horiz:)

Definition list
list of definitions
item
the item's definition
another item
that item's definition
indentation
more leading colons produce deeper lists

(:markupend:)

(:markup class=horiz:)

 Lines that begin with
 a space are formatted exactly
 as typed, in a fixed-width font.

Note that very long lines of preformatted text can cause the whole page to be wide. (:markupend:)

(:markup class=horiz:) This text floats to the right

This text floats to the right with a frame

This text is centered.

This text is right justified. (:markupend:)

(:markup class=horiz:) Four or more dashes at the beginning of a line


produce a horizontal line. (:markupend:)

Links

(:table class='markup horiz' align='center':) (:cellnr class='markup1':) What to type (:cell class='markup2':) What it looks like (:tableend:)

(:markup class=horiz:)

  • Text in double brackets become links to other pages.
  • Words are automatically capitalized in page titles.

Practice editing in the wiki sandbox. (:markupend:)

  • When linking to a page in a different wikigroup, provide the group name, followed by a separator, and then the page name.
  • If the separator you use is a slash, only the page name will appear.
  • If the separator you use is a dot, the full string (group name and page name) will appear.

(:markup class=horiz:) Practice editing in the WikiSandbox.

Which one? Oh, in the Main.WikiSandbox. (:markupend:)

  • Text after a pipe (|) is used as the link text, or use the alternate (and perhaps more understandable) arrow (text -> link) notation.
  • PmWiki adds capitalisation to links

(:markup class=horiz:) WikiStyles allow text to be in different colors. (:markupend:)

Headings and blocks

(:table class='markup horiz' align='center':) (:cellnr class='markup1':) What to type (:cell class='markup2':) What it looks like (:tableend:)

Page titles

  • The (:title:) directive sets the page's title to something other than its page name.

Block styles

  • blocks allow styles to be applied across a number of lines and paragraphs of text and images.

(:markup class=horiz:)

All of the text in this block is purple.

  • Purple cows and purple flowers
  • Purple people eater
  • Now this list is red
  • and this text is centered
  • and this text is green and right justified

(:markupend:)

<< | Documentation Index | Creating new pages >>

I'm new to PmWiki, where can I find some basic help for getting started?

The Basic Editing page is a good start. From there, you can just follow the navigational links at the bottom of the page (they are called WikiTrails) to the next pages, or to the Documentation Index page, which provides an outline style index of essential documentation pages, organized from basic to advanced.

How do I include special characters on my wiki pages?

Use character codes to insert special characters, such as Copyright (©) and Trademark (® or ™) symbols, that don't appear on your keyboard.

Why are separate lines of text in the markup combined into a single line on output?

PmWiki normally treats consecutive lines of text as being a paragraph, and merges and wraps lines together on output. This is consistent with most other wiki packages. However, an author can use the (:linebreaks:) directive to cause separate lines of markup text to be kept as separate lines in the output.

Can I just enter HTML directly?

By default (and by design), PmWiki does not support the use of HTML elements in the editable markup for wiki pages. There are a number of reasons for this described in the PmWikiPhilosophy and PmWiki:Audiences. Basically, Pm feels that enabling HTML markup within wiki pages in a collaborative environment has the effect of excluding some potential authors from being able to edit pages, as well as posing a number of display and security issues. However, a site administrator can use the Cookbook:EnableHTML recipe to enable the use of HTML markup directly in pages.
