Wiki Management

This page explains how you can use the Wiki Markup language to create headings and lists, and to format text and paragraphs for your pages. One can automatically generate a Table of Contents for a page by creating a heading. Please note that in the STNE-Wiki both Wiki-code and HTML commands may be used. However, they should be used sparingly to avoid conflicts with alternative skins. This particularly applies to the use of different colors.


Text Formatting

What it looks like What you write
italic

bold
italic and bold 

''italic''
'''bold'''
'''''italic and bold'''''

(There are several apostrophe options [exactly taken, signs for code, no

quotes, and no accent - Press Shift+#.)

You can strikethrough or strikethrough words, and underline them. 

You can <strike>strikethrough</strike> or
<s>strikethrough</s> words, 
and <u>underline</u> them.

(Text should be formatted normally, so these are preferably not used!)

Text subscript <sub>subscript</sub>

  • Unordered lists are easy to do:
    • Start every line with a star.
      • More stars indicate a deeper level.
    • A new line in a list

marks the end of the list.

  • A single bullet can also be used to denote an important point.

A new line marks the end of the list.

If a line begins with a space,
 it is formatted
  just as it was written.
 The default character set and 
 character width are used.  The
         lines are not wrapped.

This is useful for:
 * Displaying preformatted text,
 * Show programming code or algorithms,
 * Diagrams designed using symbols,
 * Making simple tables.

CAUTION: If you make your lines too long,
you will generate a very broad display
making it difficult to read.
