These are the rules for the simple markup-language for WiLiKi. Note we have
a patch for scheme code.
- A line begins with ";;" doesn't appear in the output (comment).
- A line begins with "~" is treated as if it is continued from the previous line, except comments. (line continuation).
- Empty line to separating paragraphs (<p>)
- "- ", "-- " and "--- " ... at the beginning of a line for an item of unordered list (<ul>). Put a space after dash(es).
- "# ", "## ", "### " ... at the beginning of a line for an item of ordered list (<ol>). Put a space after #'s.
- A line with only "----" is <hr>.
- ":item:description" at the beginning of a line is <dl>. The item includes all colons but the last one. If you want to include a colon in the description, put it in the next line.
- [[Name]] to make "Name" a WikiName. Note that a simple mixed-case word doesn't become a WikiName. "Name" beginning with "$" has special meanings (e.g. "[[$date]]" is replaced for the time at the editing.)
- A URL-like string beginning with "http:" becomes a link. "[URL name]" becomes a name that linked to URL.
- Surround words by two single quotes (''foo'') to emphasize.
- Surround words by three single quotes ('''foo''') to emphasize more.
- "*", "**" and "***"' ... at the beginning of a line is a header. Put a space after the asterisk(s).
- Whitespace(s) at the beginning of line for preformatted text.
- A line of "{{{" starts verbatim text, which ends with a line of "}}}". No formatting is done in verbatim text. Even comments and line continuation don't have effect.
- A line of "{{{scheme" starts verbatim scheme text, which ends with a line of "}}}". Scheme code formatting is done. It provides a link to each function
in r5rs. Also it colorizes scheme-keywords .
- A line begins with "||" and also ends with "||" becomes a row of a table. Consecutive rows forms a table. Inside a row, "||" delimits columns.
- "~%" is replaced for "<br>".
- A line beginning with three less-than signs immediately followed by a username "<<<USERNAME" will start, and one beginning with ">>>" will close, wiki-comments.
- If you want to use special characters at the beginning of line, or otherwise defeat the normal markup processing (for example, on this page itself), put six consecutive single quotes. It emphasizes a null string, so it's effectively nothing.
