Welcome to my journal, the ^zhurnal! There's plenty of room for more, so don't be shy about adding your own contributions—within the bounds of good taste and civility. No advertisements, link spam, etc. are allowed here. Thank you!

You can edit most items via the "Edit this page" link at the bottom. See below for the Markup Syntax that lets you do bold, italics, tables, images, headers, lists, etc. See Spam Patrol for instructions on how to easily remove garbage pages and clean up messes that others may have inadvertently made.

Contact me via z (at) his (dot) com or zhurnaly (at) gmail (dot) com to report bugs, suggest new thoughts, and comment on items if you prefer to do that via email rather than edit things directly.

Markup Syntax

Markup in the ZhurnalyWiki follows the Creole standard, plus a few simple extensions for sub- and super-scripts, blockquotes, etc.

(tilde = "escape character")

Lists

To make a bullet list:

  • Begin a list line
  • With an asterisk (*)
    • Put multiple asterisks (** etc.)
    • In front of sub-list items

To make a numbered list:

  1. Begin a list line
  2. With a number-sign (#)
    1. Put multiple number-signs (## etc.)
    2. In front of sub-list items

Rules, Headers, Tables

  • To make a horizontal rule, type four dashes (----) on a line alone, like:

  • To make a big header, type two equal signs at the beginning of a line in front of the header text, like ==Big Header .

Smaller Headers

To make smaller headers, type three to six equal signs at the beginning of a line in front of the header text, like ===Smaller Header, ====Still Smaller Header, etc.

Tables

To make a table:

Put pipe symbols Like " | "
Between table elements On each row
And at the beginning
and the end
Of every row

To make header lines on tables, use "|=" in front of each header element:

Like This Header Line
Above A Regular Table

Blockquotes

To make a blockquote:

put three double-quotes (""") on lines by themselves above and below the section

to be blockquoted

Redirection and Transclusion

  • To forward hits to a different ZhurnalyWiki page, put #REDIRECT [[New Page Name]] on the first line of the old page
  • To include (aka "transclude") the contents of another page, use <include "Page Name">

Definition Lists

To make a Definition List
begin a line with ; followed by the word(s) to be defined, and on the next line put : followed by the definition(s)

Images

  • To insert an image, write its URL, as in http://zhurnaly.com/images/zh.gif = http://zhurnaly.com/images/zh.gif
  • To handle image labels and links, as per the Oddmuse Image Extension use pipes to separate image URL, label, and link URL, as in [[image:http://zhurnaly.com/images/Birds_Kennedy_Center_Terrace_Sunset.jpg_t.jpg|Birdy Sunset|http://zhurnaly.com/images/Birds_Kennedy_Center_Terrace_Sunset.jpg]] which results in the small thumbnail-image with label "Birdy Sunset" as a clickable link to the corresponding big image:

Birdy Sunset

  • Administrators can upload images or other materials to ZhurnalWiki pages via a "Replace this page with file" link during page editing; image files can then be displayed via something like [[image:Image_Page_Name_Here]]
