Wiki syntax reference

The wiki syntax is a way to enhance your text with a minimal set of tags, studied to cover the basic needs (titles, paragraphs, quotes, lists...)

Block elements

Leave an empty line between two similar blocks.
Paragraph: free text, ended by an empty line if another paragraph is to follow.
Title: !!! title, !! title or ! title, allowing you to use three different levels of heading.
Horizontal line: ----
Lists: Start each line with * or # for unnumbered or numbered lists respectively. List imbrication is done by mixing list markers this way:
```
* item 1
** item 1.1
* item 2
*# item 2.1
...
```
Preformatted text: each line must start with a space.
Block quote: each line must start with a semicolon (>).

Formatting tags

Emphasis: two quotes ''text''
Strong emphasis: two underscore __text__
New line: %%%
Insertion: two plusses ++text++
Deletion: two minuses --text--
Link: [url], [name|url], [name|url|language] or [name|url|languagee|title]
Image: ((url|alternative text)), ((url|alternative text|position)) or ((url|alternative text|position|long description)).
The position can be either L or G (left), R or D (right) or C (centered).
Anchor: ~anchor~
Acronym: ??acronym|title??
Inline HTML: two backquotes ``html code``
Inline quote: {{quote}}, {{quote|language}} or {{quote|language|url}}
Code: @@code@@
Footnotes: $$footnote$$

Unformatted text

If you don't want one formatting character to be interpreted as such, add a \ just before it. This way: \[text in brackets without being a link\]

HTML Code

Even if you chose the wiki syntax, you may sometimes need a more powerful formatting, i.e. HTML syntax. Do it the following way:

///html
<p style="color:red">my text in red</p>
///
