See HelpPage for more help. <a name="4" /><a name="stxrules" />Structured Text rules See ZWiki:StructuredText for full details. Zwiki adds linking and some fixes to standard STX. 0. don't bother trying to learn all the text formatting rules and their interactions. Mimic the text around you; when STX doesn't do what you want, tweak it until it looks right. Note STX usually does not support non-latin characters. Go to the "docs":http://zwiki.org/TextFormattingRules or "ask for help":http://zwiki.org/GeneralDiscussion#bottom when you get really stuck or curious. 0. text emphasis:: italic bold _underlined_ 'monospaced' 0. linking (see Link types below):: WikiName [bracketed free-form name] ZWiki:RemoteWikiLink http://bare/url <a href="http://some/where">html link</a> "Structured Text link":http://some/where [1] (structured text footnote) 0. separate paragraphs with blank lines 0. a one-line paragraph becomes a heading when followed by a more-indented paragraph (all indented, or just the first line). A more-indented heading becomes a subheading. 0. a paragraph beginning with - or * or a number followed by a space makes a bullet or numbered list item. A more-indented list item starts a sub-list. 0. HTML tags may be used if necessary; on sites which permit it, DTML (server-side code) may also be used 0. to quote text, avoiding all the above: indent it after a paragraph ending with a double colon:: parent paragraph:: This is the only reliable way to quote WikiLinks, <HTML tags> and &dtml-code; or preserve fixed-width formatting. Use this eg when posting zope tracebacks. <a name="2" /><a name="pagetypes" />Page types See ZWiki:TextFormattingRules for more about these. Structured Text -- The default & most popular Zwiki page type, despite its quirks. Applies Zope's StructuredText (STX) formatting rules, which also permit HTML. If enabled, DTML is also allowed and this appears as 'Structured Text + DTML'. reStructured Text -- Applies the ReStructuredText (RST) formatting rules. These are more strict than STX. !WikiWikiWeb markup -- Applies the original WikiWikiWebMarkup (WWML) rules, or something very like them. For wikizens who have those rules hard-wired in their brain. HTML -- Allows standard HTML, does not apply any text formatting rules. Useful for pasting in HTML or editing with a real HTML editor. Ignores any HTML head section for convenience. If enabled, DTML is also allowed and this appears as 'HTML + DTML'. Plain text -- Does no text formatting or linking at all. Note all of the above except plain text also do zwiki-style linking, unless disabled. <a name="3" /><a name="linktypes" />Link types Here are (almost) all the ways you can make a hyperlink in a zwiki page. Wiki links -- The classic wiki link that started it all. Zwiki's allow one-letter words and digits on the end. :: WikiName AName WikiNamePlus001 Bracket links -- A simple syntax for linking to free-form page names, now used on many wikis. Zwiki's bracket links are fuzzy - they ignore capitalization, whitespace and punctuation. :: [free-form name] Double-bracket links -- As used by wikipedia. Less likely to be triggered accidentally than single-bracket links. :: [[free-form name]] URL links -- Bare urls :: http://some/where ftp://some/where mailto:someone@there etc. HTML links -- Standard HTML hyperlinks, on pages which allow it. :: <a href="http://some/where">link text</a> STX links -- Structured Text hyperlink syntax. Will not accept all characters. :: "link text":http://some/where STX footnotes -- Structured Text footnote links. :: [1] (any number) .. [1] footnote text.. something like that RST links -- reStructured Text has a plethora of linking methods. See the ReStructuredText docs. :: _[hard-to-remember stuff] Remote wiki links -- See RemoteWikiLinks. The local page defines a partial url for a remote wiki or other site. :: LocalWikiPage:RemoteWikiPage LocalWikiPage:someotherthing
