To use it, you need to have the Text::WikiFormat perl module +installed, enable the plugin, then files with the extention `.wiki` will be +processed as wiki text. + +Wiki formatting is very simple. An item wrapped in three single quotes is +strong. An item wrapped in two single quotes is emphasized. Any word with +multiple CapitalLetters (e. g., StudlyCaps) will become a link (standard +[[WikiLinks|WikiLink]] work too). Four or more +hyphen characters at the start of a line create a horizontal line. +Newlines turn into the appropriate tags. Headers are matching equals signs +around the header text -- the more signs, the lesser the header. + +Lists are indented text, by one tab or four spaces. In unordered lists, +where each item has its own bullet point, each item needs a leading +asterisk and space. Ordered lists consist of items marked with combination +of one or more alphanumeric characters followed by a period and an optional +space. Any indented text without either marking is code, handled literally. +You can nest lists. + +This plugin is included in ikiwiki, but is not enabled by default. |
