Text formatting


Wiki pages allow you to customize the appearance of your note text using various syntax constructs. When developing the wiki notation, the syntax was largely borrowed from the pmWiki engine. The following table lists the main syntax constructs.

Line continuation

There are commands related to line handling. For example, the \ character at the end of a line indicates that the text continues on the next line and no line break should be made at this point. For example, the following text will not be split into two lines:

This is a long string, \
which continues on the next line


Result:

This is a long string, which continues on the next line

Line break

The [[<<]] command indicates that a line break should be added at this position. This command is especially useful in lists and tables, as in these cases, a regular line break usually signifies the creation of a new list item or a new table row.

Example of a line break command in a list:

# First list item.
# Second list item [[<<]]Second line of the second list item.
# Third list item [[<<]][[<<]] Second line of the third list item after two indents.
# Fourth list item.


Result:

  1. First list item.
  2. Second list item
    Second line of the second list item.
  3. Third list item

    Second line of the third list item after two indents.
  4. Fourth list item.

Example of a line break command in a table:

|| border=1
||First row|| bla-bla-bla ||
||Second row [[<<]]continuation of the second row|| bla-bla-bla ||
||Third row [[<<]][[<<]] Continuation of the third row || bla-bla-bla ||
||Fourth \
row || bla-bla-bla ||


Result:

First row bla-bla-bla
Second row
continuation of the second row
bla-bla-bla
Third row

Continuation of the third row
bla-bla-bla
Fourth row bla-bla-bla
