Lash La Rue . TWiki . TextFormattingRules (r1.2)

It is easy to collaborate, just type your text. You don't need to know HTML at all, though you can use it if you prefer. Links to topics will be created automatically as long as you follow these simple Text Formatting Rules. TextFormattingFAQ has answers to frequently asked questions about text formatting.

LINKS

The Collaborative Work Area is a bunch of related links that are editable through your web browser.

The TWiki web has the following types of internal links:

GoodStyle is a topic that is part of the current TWiki web.
NotExistingYet^? is a topic waiting to be written. You could create that topic by clicking on the question mark. (Do not create that topic, you would wreck this example!)
ReadmeFirst is a topic in a different TWiki web. (You write it as Web.TopicName , but it will show up as TopicName )

External links:

http://..., https://..., ftp://... and mailto:...@... are linked automatically.
Email addresses like name@domain.com are linked automatically.

EDITING

CapitalizedWordsWillProduce^? a link automatically.
Blank lines will create new paragraphs.
Words get bold by enclosing them with * asterisks
Words get italic by enclosing them with _ underscores
Words get bold italic by enclosing them with __ two underscores
Words get showns in fixed font by enclosing it with = equal signs
Notes for bold , italic , bold italic and fixed font text:
- Make sure to "stick" the * _ = signs to the characters, e.g.
  - This works
  - _This does not get italic because there is a space between the last word and the underline character _
- Example text to enter:
  - Writing *bold text* , _italic text_ and =fixed== monospaced text
- Example text gets rendered as:
  - Writing bold text , italic text and fixed= monospaced text
Separator: -------- (at the beginning of a line)
List Item: <3spaces>*
Nested Item: <6spaces>*
Ordered List: <3spaces><number>.
Definition: <3spaces><term>:<definition>.
