Since AntiWiki runs on your desktop and nobody else can edit your wiki, you can simply use HTML to format pages. That said, a lighter syntax is also included, to make the job easier. For one thing, simply leave a blank line to start a new paragraph. Other helpers include:
Links
Three type of links are included:
[[wiki links]] (in double square brackets) => https://other.site/ Rocket links (on their own line) ~> screenshot.png Image links, with alt text
Wiki links always point to pages on the wiki. They can also have a label, after a vertical bar. Other link types always take up a whole line (no spaces in front).
More about rocket links, by the way
Blocks
These make up the bulk of AntiWiki markup:
[center] Any text and markup here. [back] [left] Same as above. [back] [right] You can nest them too. [back] <<< This is a block quote. -- with a citation >>>
Lists were added in version 1.0:
((( - this is a list + with various types * of bullets ))) [[[ - and also a numbered list ]]]
Block markup must start and end on a line of its own to be picked up. You can make blocks of literal text like this:
{{{ (without a space in front) }}}
You can also have literal text inline, between double curly braces.
It looks {{like this}}.
Last but not least, a line made only of 3-5 dashes like this: ---
becomes a horizontal rule.
Tables
As of version 1.1, AntiWiki supports MediaWiki-style tables (vertical layout only):
{| |+ Caption |- ! Header A ! Header B |- | Cell A1 | Cell B1 |}
Which renders as:
Header A | Header B |
---|---|
Cell A1 | Cell B1 |
Unlike with most other wiki syntax, a leading space is required on lines within a table: the vertical bars must align! See also the
Wikipedia help on tables.
Headings and metadata
Not much to say here:
## Second-level heading ### Third-level heading #title Display title for the page #desc Meta description field #keywords meta, keywords
That's pretty much it!
