Right, this is attempt #2 at a basic guide to some syntax stuffs for the TTwiki. Look at the page in the edit view to see how bits of it are done.

Headings

Come in several flavours

Intended to be used for different levels of subheadings

Fourth level is about the smallest one that's practical for use

---

Text Formatting

There is support for both bold text and italic text.

''One thing to note is that if you put a hard linebreak in the middle of bold or italic text, the formatting won't work''

---

Indentation and lists

Paragraphs can be indented, but be aware that it again only works up to the next hard linebreak, so don't press enter until you've finished the full paragraph.

In addition to this, there are two forms of list:

• Bullet
• points

1. And
2. Enumerated
3. Lists

They can be nested:

• Bullet
  • Points
    • Nest
      • And
        • Look
          • Pretty

And mixed, although note that if you put a bullet pointed list between two items in an enumerated list, it will split it into two lists.:

1. The first item in a list
   1. A sub-item
   2. And a second sub-item
2. The second item in this list

• With a bullet-pointed sub-item

1. And the third item, which you'll note is now a new list, so numbered from 1 again.

Horizontal lines

Categories

There is a system of categories for tagging pages and making finding certain types of page easier.

To navigate by categories, start out with CategoryCategory and follow the instructions there.

To put a page into a category, type CategoryX? on the last line of the page. So if you are categorising a character page, put CategoryCharacter onto the last line. The wiki will then work magic.

Tables

The wiki has support for tables. Tables are relatively simple when you understand them, and quite complex otherwise.

A	small
example	table

A table is entered across a series of lines. Each line represents one row of the table. You must start each line with ||

The smallest table, only one cell

This is also how you divide up columns in a table. You must end each line with ||, because the table must have at least one column, and every || you put inbetween the start and the end of the line will create a new column.

A

one

line

table

with

lots

of

columns

Then you just put a number of these lines next to each other. The page will automatically display a table set up in columns. It's generally sensible to make sure the lengths of all lines match, but if you don't, the wiki will pad out the table with empty cells in order to make it the size of the longest row.

A	table
with	odd	line	sizes
don't	do	this

You can use formatting, links, and so on in table cells as usual. You cannot use lists or headings, because a heading needs to be on a line by itself, and a list needs to be split across multiple lines
