Paragraphs: Blank lines will create new paragraphs. |
1st paragraph 2nd paragraph | 1st paragraph 2nd paragraph | |||||||||||||||
Headings: At least three dashes at the beginning of a line, followed by plus signs and the heading text. One plus creates a level 1 heading (most important), two pluses a level 2 heading; the maximum is level 6. Note: A Table of Content can be created automatically with the %TOC% variable, see TWikiVariables. Any heading text after !! is excluded from the TOC; for example, write ---+!! text if you do not want to list a header in the TOC.

Note: | spaced | cells are rendered right aligned. Note: | 2 colspan || cells are rendered as multi-span columns. Note: In case you have a long row and you want it to be more readable when you edit the table you can split the row into lines that end with a '\' backslash character. |

WikiWord Links: CapitalizedWordsStuckTogether (or WikiWords) will produce a link automatically. Note: In case you want to link to a topic in a different TWiki web write Webname.TopicName .
|
WebNotify Know.ReadmeFirst | WebNotify ReadmeFirst | |||||||||||||||
Forced Links: You can create a forced internal link by enclosing words in double square brackets. Note: Text within the brackets may contain optional spaces; the topic name is formed by capitalizing the initial letter and by removing the spaces; for example, [[text formatting FAQ]] links to topic TextFormattingFAQ. You can also refer to a different web and use anchors.

[[wiki syntax]] [[Main.TWiki users]] | wiki syntax Main.TWiki users | |||||||||||||||
Specific Links: Create a link where you can specify the link text and the link reference separately, using nested square brackets like [[reference][text]] . Internal link references (e.g. WikiSyntax) and external link references (e.g. http://TWiki.org/) are supported.
Note: The same Forced Links rules apply for internal link references. Note: For external link references, you can simply use a space instead of ][ to separate the link URL from the descriptive text.
Note: Anchor names can be added as well, like [[WebHome#MyAnchor][go home]] and [[http://gnu.org/#Action][GNU Action]] .
|
[[WikiSyntax][syntax]] [[http://gnu.org][GNU]] [[http://xml.org XML]] | syntax GNU XML | |||||||||||||||
Anchors: You can define a link reference inside a TWiki topic (called an anchor name) and link to that. To define an anchor write #AnchorName at the beginning of a line. The anchor name must be a WikiWord. To link to an anchor name use the [[MyTopic#MyAnchor]] syntax. You can omit the topic name if you want to link within the same topic.
|
[[WebHome#NotThere]] [[#MyAnchor][Jump]] #MyAnchor To here | WebHome#NotThere Jump To here | |||||||||||||||
Prevent a Link: Prevent a WikiWord from being linked by prepending it with the <nop> tag.
|
<nop>SunOS | SunOS | |||||||||||||||
Disable Links: You can disable automatic linking of WikiWords by surrounding text with <noautolink> and </noautolink> tags.
Note: Each tag must be on a line by itself. Note: This also works for TWiki tables, but only if you add a blank line between the end of the table and the closing </noautolink> tag (known issue of the TablePlugin).
|
<noautolink> RedHat & SuSE </noautolink> | RedHat & SuSE | |||||||||||||||
Mailto: Links: To create 'mailto:' links that have more descriptive link text, specify subject lines or message bodies, or omit the email address, you can write [[mailto:user@domain descriptive text]] .
|
[[mailto:a@z.com Mail]] [[mailto:?subject=Hi Hi]] | Mail Hi |
