WikiText is a concise, expressive way of typing a wide range of text formatting, hypertext and interactive features. It allows you to focus on writing without a complex user interface getting in the way. It is somewhat similar to [[MarkDown|http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/]], but with more of a focus on linking and the interactive features.
|
|
|
|
! Linking in WikiText
|
|
|
|
A key capability of WikiText is the ability to make links to other tiddlers or to external websites. There are several ways of doing this:
|
|
|
|
* To link to a tiddler by title: `[[Tiddler Title]]`
|
|
* To link to a tiddler and specify the text of the link: `[[Tiddler Title|Displayed Link Title]]`
|
|
* For tiddler titles that match the CamelCase rules, just typing the title will automatically create a link
|
|
* To link to an external website, type the full URL of the site: `http://five.tiddlywiki.com/`
|
|
|
|
You can suppress a link from being recognised by preceding it with `~`. For example:
|
|
|
|
{{{
|
|
* ~HelloThere is not a link
|
|
* ~http://google.com/ is not a link
|
|
}}}
|
|
|
|
Renders as:
|
|
|
|
* ~HelloThere is not a link
|
|
* ~http://google.com/ is not a link
|
|
|
|
! Paragraphs
|
|
|
|
To mark the end of a paragraph in TiddlyWiki you need to type `enter` twice to create a double line break:
|
|
|
|
{{{
|
|
This is the first paragraph.
|
|
|
|
And this is the second paragraph.
|
|
}}}
|
|
|
|
Single line breaks are ignored within paragraphs. For example:
|
|
|
|
{{{
|
|
This is a
|
|
paragraph made
|
|
up of
|
|
short lines
|
|
|
|
|
|
}}}
|
|
|
|
Renders as:
|
|
|
|
This is a
|
|
paragraph made
|
|
up of
|
|
short lines
|
|
|
|
! Formatting
|
|
|
|
Available character formatting includes:
|
|
|
|
* {{{`backticks`}}} for `code`
|
|
* `''bold''` for ''bold text''
|
|
* `//italic//` for //italic text//
|
|
* `__underscore__` for __underscored text__
|
|
* `^^superscript^^` for ^^superscript^^ text
|
|
* `~~subscript~~` for ~~subscripted~~ text
|
|
* `--strikethrough--` for --strikethrough-- text
|
|
|
|
You can also use `{{{` to mark code blocks:
|
|
|
|
{{{
|
|
{{{
|
|
This will be monospaced
|
|
}}}
|
|
}}}
|
|
|
|
! Transclusion
|
|
|
|
You can incorporate the content of one tiddler within another using the transclusion notation:
|
|
|
|
* `((JeremyRuston))` transcludes a single tiddler
|
|
* `((( [tag[docs]] )))`, with triple parenthesis, transcludes all the tiddlers that match a [[TiddlerFilter|TiddlerFilters]]
|
|
|
|
A template can also be specified, in which case the tiddler(s) are rendered through that [[TiddlerTemplate|TiddlerTemplates]]. Templates can either be specified directly or instead a tiddler can be specified from which the template is extracted.
|
|
|
|
* `((MyTiddler) <<view title>> by <<view modified>>)` renders the tiddler `MyTiddler` through a template that will yield `MyTiddler by JeremyRuston`, if the `modified` field is set to "JeremyRuston"
|
|
* `((MyTiddler)(MyTemplate))` renders the tiddler `MyTiddler` through the template `MyTemplate`
|
|
|
|
! Lists
|
|
|
|
You can create unordered lists with `*` characters:
|
|
|
|
{{{
|
|
* First list item
|
|
* Second list item
|
|
** A subitem
|
|
* Third list item
|
|
}}}
|
|
|
|
Renders as:
|
|
|
|
* First list item
|
|
* Second list item
|
|
** A subitem
|
|
* Third list item
|
|
|
|
Ordered lists use `#` instead of `*`:
|
|
|
|
# First item
|
|
# Second item
|
|
# Third item
|
|
|
|
You can also mix ordered and unordered list items:
|
|
|
|
{{{
|
|
* To do today
|
|
*# Eat
|
|
* To get someone else to do
|
|
*# This
|
|
*# That
|
|
*## And the other
|
|
}}}
|
|
|
|
Renders as:
|
|
|
|
* To do today
|
|
*# Eat
|
|
* To get someone else to do
|
|
*# This
|
|
*# That
|
|
*## And the other
|
|
|
|
You can also create HTML definition lists:
|
|
|
|
{{{
|
|
; Term being defined
|
|
: Definition of that term
|
|
; Another term
|
|
: Another definition
|
|
}}}
|
|
|
|
Renders as:
|
|
|
|
; Term being defined
|
|
: Definition of that term
|
|
; Another term
|
|
: Another definition
|
|
|
|
! Cascading Stylesheets
|
|
|
|
You can use this construction to cause the wrapped content to be assigned a specified CSS class:
|
|
|
|
{{{
|
|
{{myStyle{
|
|
* List One
|
|
* List Two
|
|
}}}
|
|
}}}
|
|
|
|
The resulting HTML looks like this:
|
|
|
|
{{{
|
|
<ul class="myStyle">
|
|
<li>List One</li>
|
|
<li>List Two</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
}}}
|
|
|
|
You can also assign a CSS class to an individual member of a list with this notation:
|
|
|
|
{{{
|
|
* List One
|
|
*{{MyClass}} List Two
|
|
* List Three
|
|
}}}
|
|
|
|
The resulting HTML looks like this:
|
|
|
|
{{{
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>List One</li>
|
|
<li class="MyClass">List Two</li>
|
|
<li> List Three</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
}}}
|
|
|
|
The same syntax can be used with headings:
|
|
|
|
{{{
|
|
!{{myStyle}} This heading has the class `myStyle`
|
|
}}}
|
|
|
|
! Typographic Features
|
|
|
|
You can create an n-dash with a double hyphen `--` and an m-dash with a triple hyphen `---`. For example -- this is an example --- and so is this
|
|
|
|
You can include a horizontal rule with three or more dashes on their own on a line:
|
|
|
|
{{{
|
|
---
|
|
}}}
|
|
|
|
Renders as:
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
! Images
|
|
|
|
To display an image stored in a tiddler:
|
|
|
|
{{{
|
|
[img[Motovun Jack.jpg]]
|
|
}}}
|
|
|
|
Displays as:
|
|
|
|
[img[Motovun Jack.jpg]]
|
|
|
|
See ImageWikiText for more details.
|
|
|
|
! HTML in WikiText
|
|
|
|
HTML tags and comments can be used directly in WikiText. For example:
|
|
|
|
{{{
|
|
<article class="hello">
|
|
This is my nice and simple block of text. HelloThere
|
|
<!-- This comment will not appear in the wikified output -->
|
|
</article>
|
|
}}}
|
|
|
|
! Macros
|
|
|
|
Macros provide rich functionality within WikiText. For example, the `<<video>>` macro can be used to embed videos from YouTube, Vimeo or the Internet Archive:
|
|
|
|
{{{
|
|
<<video src:32001208 type:vimeo>>
|
|
}}}
|
|
|
|
For full details of the available macros, see the [[Docs]].
|
|
|
|
! Headings
|
|
|
|
Headings are specified with one or more leading `!` characters:
|
|
|
|
{{{
|
|
! This is a level 1 heading
|
|
|
|
!! This is a level 2 heading
|
|
|
|
!!! This is a level 3 heading
|
|
}}}
|
|
|
|
! Other WikiText features
|
|
|
|
!! Typed Blocks
|
|
|
|
You can incorporate text of a different type within blocks of WikiText. For example:
|
|
|
|
{{{
|
|
$$$.js
|
|
return 2 + "string";
|
|
$$$
|
|
}}}
|
|
|
|
Renders as:
|
|
|
|
$$$.js
|
|
return 2 + "string";
|
|
$$$
|
|
|
|
See TypedBlockWikiText for more details
|
|
|
|
!! Style Blocks
|
|
|
|
You can apply HTML attributes to blocks of content with this syntax:
|
|
|
|
{{{
|
|
@@color:#f00;
|
|
@@text-decoration:underline;
|
|
This is in red!
|
|
@@
|
|
}}}
|
|
|
|
Generates the results:
|
|
|
|
@@color:#f00;
|
|
@@text-decoration:underline;
|
|
This is in red!
|
|
@@
