Experiment with Wiki markup on this page: click the "edit" link at the bottom of the page to start. This page is periodically cleaned up so don't post anything you want to keep.

You may also want to read:

• Wiki Markup: the tags used to write pages. It's not HTML.
• Wiki FAQ: more on Wiki
• Project FAQ: more about this place

• some quick examples... this is a bullet list
• it's just a * at the start of a paragraph. a single return character ends the list item
• this is emphasized text
• this is very emphasized text
• this is extremely emphasized text
• some simple html tags work:², underlined with this <u></u> tag., but it's best to stick to Wiki markup.

this is indented

this is double indented... and so on.

this is a Definition List (DL in HTML) 

this is the definition for the term

1. this is a numbered list
2. next item
3. unfortunately, # and * lists don't mix

• Bullet 1
  1. Number 1 in bullet 1
  2. Number 2 in bullet 1
• Bullet 2

This is a header

• the space on the inside of the == is important
• use more = signs to make lower level headings (h2 up to h5)

Test Links

Yes, all the below are links.

• yeah
• is this a link?

Nuclear Fuzz Grunge would like to know what:

—

is. I see it everywhere. Is this a function that is yet to be coded?

tarquin: "& mdash ;" is a standard HTML entity for the m-dash character. I've since created wiki markup for this so use of it here is obsolete. Type two hyphens together and they'll render as a long dash. (I'm fussy about typography like that, you see!)
See Wiki Markup. There's also wiki development to discuss the system.

Actually "& mdash" syndrome occurs when you view this with good ole netscape 4.7 whether or not the code has double hyphens in it, it all looks much nicer in mozilla and probably that other browser who's name I forget.

You get "mdash" appearing as text in Netscape 4.7? Uh-oh. Upgrade :) Mozilla is in fact my target browser for CSS. I try and make sure it's ok in Opera too. IE can go hang. – Tarquin

Quite right too! :-) actually there's a bonus with 4.7 ... no banner ads! still looks ugly though – Zedsquared

Different monospaced fonts:

 The quick [[Legacy:Brown Fox|brown fox]] jumps over – the ''lazy dog''. (<pre>

)

The quick brown fox jumps over – the lazy dog. (verbatim paragraph, character markup is processed)

 The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. ()

 The quick [[brown fox]] jumps over the ''lazy dog''. (<uscript>)

Wah! I figured it out. Opera seems to fail to switch back to the normal monospaced font after inserting a HTML entity (from a different font, like →), and thus everything following the arrow in the following paragraph is formatted as Lucida Sans Unicode:

 File -> Save -> File Format

I'm filing a bug report to Opera Software at the moment. Here's the test case.

I saw it too, but now (after several crashes and Tweak UI -> Repair Font Folder) it works like it's supposed to. – Wormbo (No wait! That en-dash in front of Wormbo is displayed inside of the W. Another bug of Opera?)

You mean, Opera 6.01 displays "Save -> File Format" in Courier New after the first "->"? →Mychaeel

Yes, but it seems like there's another display error now.

Fooling around with this... testing testing testing link. -Bean

(messages shunted to Bean. Delete on read. :) )

I think bot navigation, pathnoding, and basic bot pathing should all be combined. It would be much cleaner. Just a suggestion. →Bean

Tarquin: Oh, definitely. It's been on my list of "arg, I really don't want to have to deal with this myself" pages for a while. Mention it on Project Discussion, on one of the pages in question, or just dive in & make changes :D. Artificial Intelligence is the main topic page, just make sure anything on the subject is linked to from there.

Mychaeel: Should change the

CSS to have less padding at the bottom. The

margin and the

padding adds up...

Tarquin: will do. Might also remove the border from Textbook style.

Mychaeel: Changed it for Chilled Blue Plain. blockquote { padding:12px 12px 4px 12px; }

Mychaeel: Fixed the behavior of > ... quotation syntax: It supports the \\ paragraph continuation/linebreak sequence now. No need for ... anymore in quotation blocks.

headingLevel -= 7;

Ahhh But can it do this?

can Unreal Wiki do multiple lines in a list item?

• start
  seccond line indented correctly with a line break token
• end

more ='s should mean higher heading level, not lower

(this should be java but oh well)

Tarquin: number of "=" corresponds to H* HTML tag. Welcome to the wiki, whoever you are. :)

And everybody say..... YATTA!

Mychaeel: Although its use is discouraged, you can use the HTML <img> tag now.

<img src="/wiki-ext/zipunr.icon.gif" width=64 height=64>

> a > sign in a table	but here it means right-align
> again	same here

In general, < and > are normal characters

Ok, I'm trying to create a really, really long paragraph here just to mess around with the diff functionality of the Wiki. I'll try to make it as long as possible, but it seems like i'm running out of ideas pretty fast. :( OK, maybe it's already enough.

---

What happens if I do this?

Mychaeel: Somebody sees it, frowns, and restores the original text.
