Also see the Wiki Sandbox page in edit mode!

Text starting in column zero (fully up against the left side of the edit box) is formatted using proportional font.

 Text starting in column 1 or more is formatted using fixed font.

Text placed between <pre></pre> tags is treated as "verbatim" and left unformatted.

Links have a variety of syntactical permutations.

A URL coded "bare" becomes a link based on its own text:

http://www.imbe.net/wiki

Becomes http://www.imbe.net/wiki

A bare URL for an image of type gif, png or jpg becomes an inline image:

A URL like:

 [http://www.imbe.net/wiki LIGO SysAdmin Wiki]

Comes out as:

[LIGO SysAdmin Wiki]

And without the text it becomes a reference:

 [http://www.imbe.net/wiki] turns into: [1]

URL's placed inside of [[]] (double square brackets) become references to internal Wiki pages that look like Foo?. Clicking on the ? after saving will present you with a virgin Edit page, so that is how you create new Wiki pages!

Do not use spaces in internal Wiki links, use underscores instead, or the search mechanism might not work on your pages!

The [[]] syntax also supports a "preferred string" form: [[Foo|Foo is the primary metasyntactic variable]], where the string after the | becomes the link text.

"Subpage Links" are supported. If you have a page called "Meetings", you can have subpages with names like [[Meetings/January-01-2008|January 1, 2008 Planning Meeting]] to organize the minutes of all your meetings.

If something in your text is treated as a link and you don't want it to be treated as a link, put it between <nowiki></nowiki> tags!

Bold text is created using the HTML tag OR by using the wiki ''' delimiters.

So, '''foo''' or <b>foo</b>

will show as foo.

Italic text is created using the HTML tag OR by using the wiki '' delimiters.

So, ''foo'' or <i>foo</i>

will show as foo.

And '''''foo''''' or <b><i>foo</i></b>

will show as foo.

This particular wiki also supports the <tt></tt> and <strike></strike> tags for monospaced, underline, and ~~strikeout~~ text.

Indenting is achieved by starting a line with a number of colons (:) equivalent to the indent level:

:foo
::foo
:::foo

becomes

foo

: foo

Lists, ordered and unordered

*one
**two
**three
***four

one
- two
- three
  - four

#one
##two
##three
###four

one
1. two
2. three
  1. four

Named Anchors look like this: [#MyAnchor]

And if you go to http://www.imbe.net/wiki?Formatting_Guide#MyAnchor you will see how it works!

Headings

And Subheadings!

Are defined using the = Heading = syntax, where the number of "='s" defines the heading level, so a level 2 subheading is == Foo ==.

Sections: are defined using a kind of funny syntax involving colons and semi-colons, but the effect is worth the trouble of remembering which goes where! -Phil

;<i><b>Sections</b>: are defined ...</i> -Phil

Colors: I have added color support!.

Colors are defined by matching <color></color> tags. Supported colors are red blue green purple brown orange and yellow.

So this:

<purple>foo!</purple>

Becomes: foo!

Other HTML tags supported

Since I needed them,   and <center></center> are also supported...
as is the color <white></white> for doing visual layout.

A simple table syntax is supported:

This:

||Aaaa Bbbb Cccc||Dddd Eeee||Fffff Ggg||
||A      ||  B         ||            C||
||||Iiiii Jjjjjjj Kkkkk||            C||
||||||Lllllll Mmmmmmm Nnnnnn Ooooo Ppp||

Becomes:

Aaaa Bbbb Cccc Dddd Eeee Fffff Ggg

A B C

Iiiii Jjjjjjj Kkkkk C

Lllllll Mmmmmmm Nnnnnn Ooooo Ppp

And we also support the full html table spec:

NUMBERS 1-5 in VARIOUS LANGUAGES
English Español Français Italiano Deutsch
1 one uno un uno eins

2 two dos deux due zwei

3 three tres trois tre drei

4 four cuatro quatre quattro vier

5 five cinco cinq cinque fünf

**NUMBERS 1-5 in VARIOUS LANGUAGES**
	English	Español	Français	Italiano	Deutsch
1	one	uno	un	uno	eins
2	two	dos	deux	due	zwei
3	three	tres	trois	tre	drei
4	four	cuatro	quatre	quattro	vier
5	five	cinco	cinq	cinque	fünf

UPLOADS

A reference to an uploaded file will become a link for most file types, but if the uploaded file is a supported image format (jpg, gif, or png) it will be rendered in place as a link to it's actual URL. In this example, the upload link text is upload:katamari-prince.gif :

It's The Prince!

WARNING:Uploading a file with the same name as an existing uploaded file will result in the existing file being overwritten by the new file, so choose filenames that are complete, descriptive, and unique!

The uploaded documents directory for the LIGO SysAdmin wiki can be browsed HERE: http://www.imbe.net/Bizen-Uploads

If you create a page and then decide you used the wrong name, create a new page with the name you prefer, cut the content from the bad page and paste it to the good page, and the create a redirect link in the bad page that looks like this:

 #REDIRECT New_Page

Aaaa Bbbb Cccc	Dddd Eeee	Fffff Ggg
A	B	C
Iiiii Jjjjjjj Kkkkk		C
Lllllll Mmmmmmm Nnnnnn Ooooo Ppp
