Editing a Wiki Page in ScrewTurn Wiki is really simple. You can insert WikiMarkup, standard XHTML or use the integrated Format Helper Toolbar. In all the cases, you can format the text and insert links, images and many other items in a simple and quick fashion.

The WikiMarkup is a particular set of prefixes and suffixes that allow to format the text and insert items, such as links and images. In this section you'll learn how to use the WikiMarkup.

Edit

1.1 Basic Text Formatting

  • Writing bold produces bold
  • Writing italic produces italic
  • Writing underlined produces underlined
  • Writing striked produces striked
  • You can use any combination, for example striked bold and italic'' produces striked bold and italic

Edit

1.2 - Links

Links are identified with [ and .
Note: since version 1.0.10, links also work with 2 brackets, for example Link.
You can upload files using the File Management interface.

Edit

1.2.1 - Notes

Links and Images share the same general syntax, but the number of fields changes.

Edit

1.2.2 - Categories

You can link a Category by using the following syntax:

CategoryName

For example, you can link the Help category or all the uncategorized Pages (uncategorized Pages).

Edit

1.2.3 - Page Attachments

You can attach a file to a Page using the following syntax:


Attachment are listed at the bottom of the Page. Please note that this function is still quite "raw", and the attached files are not real attachments, but just links to some uploaded files.

Edit
1.3 - Headings
You can create headings using a sequence of equal (=) signs:

  • ==Biggest Heading (H1)==
  • ===Big Heading (H2)===
  • ====Small Heading (H3)====
  • =====Smallest Heading (H4)=====
  • The first 3 Headings work as separators, the latter is only a small heading (use it sparingly)
  • H1 is not recommended because it's used for the Page Title and therefore may cause confusion

Note: headings must be placed at the beginning of lines.

Edit
1.3.1 - Horizontal Line
You can place a horizontal line using four hyphens .

Edit
1.4 - Images
Images use  and  as delimiters.

Note: since version 1.0.10, images also work with 2 brackets, for example Title.

There are several types of images:

  • Title inserts an inline image, without borders nor legend
  • Title
    Title
     and 
    Title
    Title
     insert images aligned respectively on the left and on the right, displaying borders and a description
  • Title
    Title
     inserts an image with automatic alignment, displaying borders and description
  • In all the cases, Big Url/Link Url is optional; when specified, it links the image with its big version or with any another document

You can upload images and files using the File Management interface.

Edit
1.4.1 - Notes
Links and Images share the same general syntax, but the number of fields changes.

Edit
1.5 - Lists
A list is made by a sequence of lines starting with one or more asterisks (*) and/or diesis (#). You can create nested list using more than one asterisk or diesis.





* Element 1
* Element 2

produces

  • Element 1
  • Element 2






# Element 1
# Element 2

produces

  1. Element 1
  2. Element 2






# Element 1
# Element 2
#* Element 2.1
#* Element 2.2
# Element 3

produces

  1. Element 1
  2. Element 2
    • Element 2.1
    • Element 2.2
  3. Element 3






# Element 1
# Element 2
#* Element 2.1
#*# Element 2.1.1
#*#* Element 2.1.1.1
# Element 3

produces

  1. Element 1
  2. Element 2
    • Element 2.1
      1. Element 2.1.1
        • Element 2.1.1.1
  3. Element 3






Edit
1.6 - Code and the NoWiki Tag
If you want to insert an inline piece of code, wrap it with  and ; for example This is code produces This is code.

If you want to insert a block of code, for example a C# class, wrap it with 
 and 
, as in

using System;

namespace MyNamespace {
   public class HelloWorld {
      public static void Main(string[] args) {
         Console.WriteLine("Hello World");
      }
   }
}


If you want to exclude a block of text from the WikiMarkup formatting, wrap it with <nowiki> and </nowiki>, for example <nowiki>MyPage</nowiki> produces MyPage.

Edit
1.6.1 - The @@ Tag
If you need to place some code that contains, for example, XML and even WikiMarkup and you want it to be displayed exactly as is, wrap with with two @:

@ @
<xml>
   Bold
   <bla z="b" />
</xml>
@ @


Removing the space between the @ signs, the result is:

<xml>
   Bold
   <bla z="b" />
</xml>


Edit
1.7 - Line Breaks
Two line breaks are treated as they are. A single line break is ignored. If you want to insert a single line break, you can use the standard XHTML tag <br /> or its WikiMarkup alias 
 (letter casing is ignored). It's not recommended to abuse single line breaks because they tend to create confusion in the page.

Edit
1.8 - Special Tags
The ScrewTurn Wiki engine provides a few special markers that are replaced automatically with specific content. All these tags ignore the letter casing.

  • 401st Bomb Group (H) Association produces ScrewTurn Software (the title of the Wiki)
  • GetFile.aspx?File= produces GetFile.aspx?File= (the file upload path)
  • Top produces Top (link to the top of the current Page)
  • Table of Contents [Hide/Show]
     produces the Table of Contents of the Page, using Hx headers as titles
  • Themes/bg401st/ produces Themes/Default/ (the current theme path)
  • RSS produces RSS (the link to the current Page's RSS feed, available only in Pages)
  • 3.2.0.0 produces 2.0.31 (the version of the Wiki engine)
  • https://401bg.org/ produces http://www.screwturn.eu/ (the Main URL of the Wiki)
  • 8 produces 51 (the # of Pages in the Wiki)
  • Guest inserts the Username of the current user
  •  inserts a Categories Cloud
  •  » inserts a Search Box, with full-text search disabled by default (only one Search Box can be used at a time)
  • {ftsearchbox} inserts a Search Box, with full-text search enabled by default
  •  to use when inserting images at the bottom of a Page

Edit
1.9 - Boxes
If you want to wrap some content inside a box, use triple brackets 
 and 
. For example, 
My box
 produces 
My box

Edit
1.10 - Text Indentation
The text can be indented using one or more colons, at the beginning of a line.

: Single indentation

Double indentation



results in

Single indentation


Double indentation

Edit
1.11 - Tables
The WikiMarkup also supports tables. Since the tables offer many options, they are described in the dedicated section Tables.

Edit
1.12 - User Signature
Users can sign their edits using four tildes: Administrator, 2024/04/06 01:46. The result is the following:
Dario Solera, Thu, 15 Feb 2007 11:39

Edit
1.13 - Snippets and Page Transclusion
To use the special features called Snippets and Page Transclusion, please go to the dedicated pages:

Edit
1.14 - Page Redirection
You can redirect a user automatically to another Page when he visits a Page. You can just add the following code at the beginning of the Page:

>>> PageName

or

>>> PageName

When the user visits a Page containing a Redirection tag, the engine will display the destination Page. At the top of the destination Page Page, a message will be displayed, containing a link for visiting the origin Page without being redirected.

Edit
1.15 - XHTML Support and Escaping
ScrewTurn Wiki supports standard XHTML content. You can use any tag, except for <script> that might be disabled by the administrators.

XHTML comments are also supported (<! ... -->), but they are removed from the page output.

If you want to insert a block of HTML or XML displaying the tags, you can use the <esc></esc>  tag. This tags escapes all the angular brackes making them visible.

<esc><strong>Your tag</strong></esc>

produces

<strong>Your tag</strong>
