Summary of All Markup#

• All Markup - lists all markup on one page for easy viewing.

Basic elements of Creole discussed at Wikisym 06#

Creole Wiki discussion has focussed on developing a small set of elements rather than a comprehensive vocabulary.

• Lists - Ordered and unordered lists
• Bold And Italics - Text emphasis
• Headings
• Links - Internal and external
• Paragraphs
• Linebreaks - How to handle linebreaks, forced line breaks...
• Preformatted And Nowiki - For inserting text with a lot of special characters, like sourcecode
• Placeholder - Markup for unsupported syntax
• Images - in-line images and in-line image links
• Horizontal Line - often used as divider in discussions -> potential conflict with dashes for lists

Added in later versions#

• Tables - Simple tables included since Creole 0.3

Not discussed yet#

• Escape - Do we need escape characters?
• Underlined - Similar to bold or italic, so we should include it
• Strike - Same as underlined
• Quoting - Maybe like in e-mails? Example
• Superscript - A markup usefull for displaying a range of things correctly like dates
• Subscript - Companion to superscript
