This page contains all possible syntax you may use when editing the pages. If you want to try something, just use the playground page.

---|---|
bold | **bold** |

monospaced | ''monospaced'' |

Brother's engine | [[http://www.google.com|Brother's engine]] |

Internal links are created by using square brackets. You can either just give a wiki:pagename or use an additional Title Text. Wiki pagenames are converted to lowercase automatically, special characters are not allowed.
Internal links are created by using square brackets. You can either just give a [[pagename]] or use an additional [[pagename|Title Text]]. Wiki pagenames are converted to lowercase automatically, special chars are not allowed.
You can use namespaces by using a colon in the pagename.
You can use [[wiki:namespaces]] by using a colon in the pagename.
For details about namespaces see wiki:namespaces.
Linking to a specific section is possible, too. Just add the sectionname behind a hash character as known from HTML. This links to this Section.
This links to [[syntax#internal|this Section]].
Notes:
You can also use an image to link to another internal or external page by combining the syntax for links and images (see below) like this:
[[http://www.php.net|{{wiki:dokuwiki-128.png}}]]
Please note: The image formatting is the only formatting syntax accepted in link names.
The whole image and link syntax is supported (including image resizing, internal and external images and URLs and interwiki links).
You can add footnotes 1) by using double parenthesises.
You can add footnotes ((This is a footnote)) by using double parenthesises.
You can use up to five different levels of headlines to structure your content. If you have more than three headlines, a table of contents is generated automatically – this can be disabled by including the string ~~NOTOC~~
in the document.
==== Headline Level 3 ==== === Headline Level 4 === == Headline Level 5 ==
By using four or more dashes, you can make a horizontal line:
You can include external and internal images with curly brackets. Optionally you can specify the size of them.
Resize to given width and height:
Real size: {{wiki:dokuwiki-128.png}} Resize to given width: {{wiki:dokuwiki-128.png?50}} Resize to given width and height: {{wiki:dokuwiki-128.png?200x50}} Resized external image: {{http://de3.php.net/images/php.gif?200x50}}
By using left or right whitespaces you can choose the alignment
{{ wiki:dokuwiki-128.png}} {{wiki:dokuwiki-128.png }} {{ wiki:dokuwiki-128.png }}
Of course, you can add a title (displayed as a tooltip by most browsers), too.
{{ wiki:dokuwiki-128.png |This is the caption}}
If you specify a filename (external or internal) that is not an image (gif,jpeg,png
), then it will be displayed as a link instead.
For linking an image to another page see Image Links above.
Dokuwiki supports ordered and unordered lists. To create a list item, indent your text by two spaces and use a *
for unordered lists or a -
for ordered ones.
* This is a list * The second item * You may have different levels * Another item - The same list but ordered - Another item - Just use indention for deeper levels - That's it
DokuWiki can convert simple text characters to their typographically correct entities. Here is an example of recognized characters.
→ ← ↔ ⇒ ⇐ ⇔ » « – — 640×480 © ™ ® “He thought ‘It’s a man’s world’...”
-> <- <-> => <= <=> >> << -- --- 640x480 (c) (tm) (r) "He thought 'It's a man's world'..."
Please note: These conversions can be turned off in the config file.
Some times you want to mark some text to show it’s a reply or comment. You can use the following syntax:
I think we should do it > No we shouldn't >> Well, I say we should > Really? >> Yes! >>> Then lets do it!
I think we should do it
No we shouldn’t
Well, I say we should
Really?
Yes!
Then lets do it!
DokuWiki supports a simple syntax to create tables.
Heading 1 | Heading 2 | Heading 3 |
---|---|---|
Row 1 Col 1 | Row 1 Col 2 | Row 1 Col 3 |
Row 2 Col 1 | some colspan (note the double pipe) | |
Row 3 Col 1 | Row 2 Col 2 | Row 2 Col 3 |
Table rows have to start and end with a |
for normal rows or a ^
for headers.
^ Heading 1 ^ Heading 2 ^ Heading 3 ^ | Row 1 Col 1 | Row 1 Col 2 | Row 1 Col 3 | | Row 2 Col 1 | some colspan (note the double pipe) || | Row 3 Col 1 | Row 2 Col 2 | Row 2 Col 3 |
To connect cells horizontally, just make the next cell completely empty as shown above. Be sure to have always the same amount of cell separators!
Vertical tableheaders are possible, too.
Heading 1 | Heading 2 | |
---|---|---|
Heading 3 | Row 1 Col 2 | Row 1 Col 3 |
Heading 4 | no colspan this time | |
Heading 5 | Row 2 Col 2 | Row 2 Col 3 |
As you can see, it’s the cell separator before a cell which decides about the formatting:
| ^ Heading 1 ^ Heading 2 ^ ^ Heading 3 | Row 1 Col 2 | Row 1 Col 3 | ^ Heading 4 | no colspan this time | | ^ Heading 5 | Row 2 Col 2 | Row 2 Col 3 |
Note: Vertical spans (rowspan) are not possible.
You can align the table contents, too. Just add at least two whitespaces at the opposite end of your text: Add two spaces on the left to align right, two spaces on the right to align left and two spaces at least at both ends for centered text.
Table with alignment | ||
---|---|---|
right | center | left |
left | right | center |
xxxxxxxxxxxx | xxxxxxxxxxxx | xxxxxxxxxxxx |
This is how it looks in the source:
^ Table with alignment ^^^ | right| center |left | |left | right| center | | xxxxxxxxxxxx | xxxxxxxxxxxx | xxxxxxxxxxxx |
You can include non parsed blocks into your documents by either indenting them by at least two spaces (like used for the previous examples) or by using the tags code
or file
.
This is preformatted code all spaces are preserved: like <-this
This is pretty much the same, but you could use it to show that you quoted a file.
To let the parser ignore an area completely (ie. do no formatting on it), enclose the area either with nowiki
tags or even simpler, with double percent signs %%
.
This is some text which contains addresses like this: http://www.splitbrain.org and **formatting**, but nothing is done with it.
See the source of this page to see how to use these blocks.
You can embed raw HTML code into your documents by using the html
tags like this:
<html> This is some <font color="red" size="+1">HTML</font> </html>
This is some HTML
