* Documentation of Using Excise text Documentation on the Excise text function. I propose that the Excise text drop down ( the tiddler: $:/language/Buttons/Excise/Caption/Tag) links to this doc. I don't have permission to (or don't know how to) edit that tiddler in github. I propose the following text for the drop-down tiddler: Tag new tiddler with the title of this tiddler (If the title is changed you have to [[save and re-edit|Using Excise]] to use the new title as tag). see the issue: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/2531 * Update Using Excise.tid changed headings in response to discussion * Doc for editor toolbar buttons (wikitext) Documentation for buttons special to the editor toolbar (wikitext) * Update Using Excise.tid placed it under the new [[Editor toolbar]] * Update Using Stamp.tid placed it under the new [[Editor toolbar]] tiddler * Update WikiText.tid added reference to [[Editor toolbar]] * Update Formatting text in TiddlyWiki.tid added reference to the [[Editor toolbar]] * Update WikiText.tid * Update Editor toolbar.tid * Update Editor toolbar.tid * Update Editor toolbar.tid * Update Editor toolbar.tid typo

title: Formatting text in TiddlyWiki
|
|
type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki
|
|
|
|
Within the text of a tiddler you can use special formatting called WikiText to control how the text is displayed.
|
|
|
|
WikiText can be typed by using the [[Editor toolbar]] or by typing by hand. While the first is convenient the later can be faster when you know the WikiText markup code.
|
|
|
|
! Simple Formatting
|
|
|
|
At its simplest, WikiText lets you use familiar word-processing features like bold, italic, lists and tables. For example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
The ''quick'' brown ~~flea~~ fox //jumps// over the `lazy` dog
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
… displays as:
|
|
|
|
The ''quick'' brown ~~flea~~ fox //jumps// over the `lazy` dog
|
|
|
|
! Working with Tiddlers
|
|
|
|
In WikiText, you can link to tiddlers using double square brackets, or by taking advantage of the automatic linking of CamelCase words:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
This is a link to HelloThere, and one to [[History of TiddlyWiki]]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
… displays as:
|
|
|
|
This is a link to HelloThere, and one to [[History of TiddlyWiki]]
|
|
|
|
! Macros
|
|
|
|
Macros let you package repetitive fragments of WikiText so that you can easily reuse them.
|
|
|
|
For example, here is the definition of a macro that generates a ~YouTube video URL from its unique identifier:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
\define youtube(video)
|
|
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=$video$
|
|
\end
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With that definition in place, `<<youtube 1g66s7UbyuU>>` generates the URL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1g66s7UbyuU
|
|
|
|
! Advanced WikiText
|
|
|
|
Advanced WikiText features allow you to produce automated lists and interactive features like dropdown menus. In fact, the entire user interface of TiddlyWiki itself is written in WikiText, so any feature that you see in TiddlyWiki can be adapted for use in your own wikis.
|
|
|
|
Some of the advanced features require complex coding. TiddlyWiki includes several built-in macros that simplify common user interface tasks, like tabs, tables of content, and lists of tiddlers.
