Lists

Bullet Lists

You can create bullet lists by starting a paragraph with one or more asterisks.

* Bullet one
  * Sub-bullet

Numbered Lists

Similarly, you can create numbered lists by starting a paragraph with one or more hashes.

# Number one
# Number two
  # Sub-item
  1. Number one
  2. Number two
    1. Sub-item

Mixing Bullet and Number List Items

You can mix and match bullet and numbered lists:

# Number one
 * Bullet
 * Bullet
# Number two
 * Bullet
 * Bullet
  * Sub-bullet
   # Sub-sub-number
   # Sub-sub-number
# Number three
 * Bullet
 * Bullet
  1. Number one
  2. Number two
  3. Number three

Definition Lists

You can create a definition (description) list with the following syntax:

: Item 1 : Something
: Item 2 : Something else
Item 1
Something
Item 2
Something else

Links and Images

Wiki Links

SmashWordsTogether to create a page link.

You can force a WikiPage name not to be clickable by putting an exclamation mark in front of it.

WikiPage !WikiPage

WikiPage WikiPage

You can create a "described" or "labeled" link to a wiki page by putting the page name in brackets, followed by some text.

[WikiPage Descriptive text for the link.]

Descriptive text for the link.

URLs

Create a remote link simply by typing its URL: http://ciaweb.net.

If you like, enclose it in brackets to create a numbered reference and avoid cluttering the page; [http://ciaweb.net/free/] becomes 1.

Or you can have a described-reference instead of a numbered reference:

[http://pear.php.net PEAR]

PEAR

Images

You can put a picture in a page by typing the URL to the picture (it must end in gif, jpg, or png).

http://c2.com/sig/wiki.gif

You can use the described-reference URL markup to give the image an ALT tag:

[http://phpsavant.com/etc/fester.jpg Fester]

Fester

Code Blocks

Create code blocks by using <code>...</code> tags (each on its own line).

<code>
This is an example code block!
</code>

To create PHP blocks that get automatically colorized when you use PHP tags, simply surround the code with <code type="php"> ... </code> tags (the tags themselves should each be on their own lines, and no need for the <?php ... ?> tags).

<code type="php">

for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
	echo $i . '<br />';
}

</code>
<?php

for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
    echo $i . '<br />';
}

?>

Tables

You can create tables using pairs of vertical bars:

|| cell one || cell two ||
|||| big ol' line ||
|| cell four || cell five ||
|| cell six || here's a very long cell ||
cell one celltwo
big ol' line
cell four cell five
cell six here's a very long cell 
|| lines must start and end || with double vertical bars || nothing ||
|| cells are separated by || double vertical bars || nothing ||
|||| you can span multiple columns by || starting each cell ||
|| with extra cell |||| separators ||
|||||| but perhaps an example is the easiest way to see ||
