Text Formatting Rules

Leave blank lines between paragraphs. Use [[BR]] to insert linebreaks into paragraphs.

• To write italics, enclose the text in ''double single quotes''.

• To write bold, enclose the text in '''triple single quotes'''.

• Underlined text needs a __double underscore__ on each side.

• You get ^{superscripted text} by enclosing it into ^caret characters^, and _subscripts have to be embedded into ,,double commas,,.

• If you need something smaller or larger you can get that by writing ~-smaller-~ or ~+larger+~.

• Write “[[Strike(under erasure)]]” like [[Strike(this)]]. (Note: This is an extension that I added to the MoinMoin system here, which explains the dodgy syntax. The word Strike, the name of a macro, must be capitalized.)

To insert program source in a monospace font without reformatting, use three curly braces:

10 PRINT "ゴ主人様、ゴ命令ヲ!"
20 GOTO 10

Note that within code sections, both inline and display ones, any wiki markup is ignored. An alternative and shorter syntax for inlined code is to use backtick characters (note that this can be disabled by the site's configuration, but is enabled by default).

For more information on the possible markup, see HelpOnEditing.

Example

'''Balk''':  I'm above '''death'''.  At the top of the human race.  Now I don't have to endure unjust treatment by you aristocrats!!  I've won true '''freedom'''!  I'm a true ''human being''!  I will be treated ''equally'' now!!

from ''Final Fantasy Tactics''.

'''Ramza''': Stop spouting bullshit.

You might recall ''a''^2^ `+` ''b''^2^ `=` ''c''^2^ from your math lessons, unless your head is filled with H,,2,,O.

An { { {inline code sequence} } } has the start and end markers on the same line. Or you use `backticks`.

A code display has them on different lines: { { {
'''No''' markup here!
} } }

In the above example, we "escaped" the markers for source code sequences by inserting spaces between the curly braces.

Display

Balk: I'm above death. At the top of the human race. Now I don't have to endure unjust treatment by you aristocrats!! I've won true freedom! I'm a true human being! I will be treated equally now!!

from Final Fantasy Tactics.

Ramza: Stop spouting bullshit.

You might recall a² + b² = c² from your math lessons, unless your head is filled with H₂O.

An inline code sequence has the start and end markers on the same line. Or you use backticks.

A code display has them on different lines:

'''No''' markup here!

Colorized code displays

There are several ways to get colorized formatting of code¹:

1. start a code display with a line only containing "#!PARSERNAME"
2. embed a file attachment bearing a ".py" extension via "inline:"
3. start a page with a format processing instruction ("#format PARSERNAME")

Example:

   1 from colors import palette
   2 palette.colorize('python')
