QUIKI SYNTAX

Quiki wiki syntax is very similar to other wiki, and especially similar with dokuwiki syntax.

Basics

  • To force a paragraph give a blank line;

  • To refer to another node use: [[NodeName]] or [[NodeName|Node Description]];

  • To link the Internet use just the URL and it should be highlighted

  • You can also create named links with: [[URL|URL Description]]

Basic formatting

  • Bolds: **bold**;

  • Italics: //italic//;

  • Underlines: __underline__;

  • Typewriter: ''typewriter'';

Headings

  • Stronger: ====== title ======

  • Weaker: = title =

Lists

  • Ordered lists as a dash -

  • Unordered lists as an asterisk *

  • Each item with two spaces before the mark

  • Deeper levels have multiples of two spaces indentation

Tables

  • Table headers separated by a carret character ^. Note that no space should exist in the beginning of the line.

  • Table rows separated by a pipe character |. Note that no space should exist in the beginning of the line.

  • Each cell (not header) will be formatted accordingly with the ascii alignment:

    • put the content at the left without spaces, to get left alignment: |foo |

    • put the content at the right without spaces, to get right alignment: | foo|

    • put the content at the center, with spaces both sides, to get center alignment: | foo |

Images

  • Pictures are delimited by a pair or curly braces: {{ http://www.google.com/images/logo.gif }}

  • You can add a description to the image. It will be used as alternative text (and tooltip text): {{ http://www.google.com/images/logo.gif | Google logo }}

  • Alignment can be obtained with spaces:

    Default alignment

    For the default alignment do not add any extra space after the opening pair of curly braces or before the closing pair of curly braces: {{http://www.google.com/images/logo.gif}}

    Centering

    To center the image add spaces both sides, after the opening curly braces and before the closing curly braces: {{ http://www.google.com/images/logo.gif }}

    Float left

    To float the image at the left add spaces before the closing curly braces: {{http://www.google.com/images/logo.gif }}

    Note that if you have a description, spaces will go after the descriptions, right before the closing braces.

    Float right

    To float the image at the right add spaces after the opening curly braces: {{ http://www.google.com/images/logo.gif}}

Attachments

Attachments follow the same philosophy of images but instead of the image URL you should add the attachment name preceded by wiki: as: {{wiki:picture|Picture of a dog}}.

Other

  • Hard rules are obtained with ten or more dashes: ---------------

  • Code/verbatim zones are blocks with all lines indented three spaces.
