Cheat Sheet

Creole markup should be easy to remember. A measurement for this is the Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two rule. If you group the markup into functional areas, we almost achieved that goal (If you count nowiki and preformatted as "advanced", and group horizontal rule to paragraphs we indeed did ;-) ):

1. Emphasis,
2. Lists,
3. Links,
4. Headings,
5. Paragraphs,
6. Images,
7. Tables

Advanced: Nowiki, Placeholder

Text Formatting Rules #

You can use Creole markup format when editing pages on this site.

Paragraphs are created by simply typing the text. To separate paragraphs, just leave an empty line between them. Line ends will be preserved inside paragraphs. You can use "\\" to force a line break most everywhere.

Emphasis can be marked //like this// or **like this**, to produce italic text or bold text.

Link to a [[wiki page]] will render as wiki page. You can also use [[wiki page|different text]] that will show different text. Web page addresses, like [[http://wikicreole.org|WikiCreole]] can be also used and will display as WikiCreole.

Images are included with {{http://www.wikicreole.org/templates/creole/images/viki.png|WikiCreole Logo}} , the text is displayed when the image cannot be shown. You can put images inside links: [[http://wikicreole.org|{{http://www.wikicreole.org/templates/creole/images/viki.png|WikiCreole Logo}}]].

No markup is in effect if you type text {{{like this}}}, or — when you need several lines — like this:

{{{
line 1
line 2
line 3
}}}

Headings are created like this:

== Section heading ==
=== Subsection heading ===
==== Subsubsection heading ====

Bullet lists are created like this:

* first item
* second item
** first subitem of second item
* third item

Numbered lists are made like this:

# first item
# second item
## first subitem of second item
# third item

Tables can be made easily:

| first row first column | first row second column |
| second row first column | second row second column |

Horizontal line, like this one
