Lists
To make a bullet list:
- Begin a list line
- With an asterisk (*)
** etc.)
* In front of sub-list items
To make a numbered list:
- Begin a list line
- With a number-sign (#)
## etc.)
* 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)
Local Links and Anchors
To create a local anchor named "Label" write [:Label]. This anchor can then be the target of a link to the page via the page's URL followed by "#Label", e.g., http://zhurnaly.com/cgi-bin/wiki/JFK_50_Miler_2008#Ken etc.
To create a wiki link to an anchor on the same page, e.g. "Top", write [[#Top]] = Top. Change the link text using a "|", e.g. [[#Top|go to the top]] = go to the top. To link to a local anchor on another page proceed similarly, e.g. [[JFK 50 Miler 2008#Ken]] = JFK 50 Miler 2008#Ken, and likewise change the link label with "|" as in [[JFK 50 Miler 2008#Ken|Ken's Report]] = Ken's Report.
Images
- To insert an image, write its URL, as in
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:
- 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]]
