Creating new pages

There are two ways of creating new pages: • edit an existing page and add a CamelCase name pointing (virtually) to the new page, than Preview or Save the page, click on the newly created link to the page and edit it. • open a new browser window, pointing to the new page, and edit it: http://ndg.nerc.ac.uk/cgi-bin/kwiki/ndg/index.cgi?NewPageName

Heading (a new = for each level down)

-&#8212; <HR> Paragraphs are separated by a blank line. Bold text, italic text, and underscore text. Combination of bold and italics Inline code like /etc/passwd or CGI::KwikiStrikethroughWikiLinks are formed by two or more words in camel-case. External links begin with http://, like http://www.freepan.org Forced wiki links are a alphanumeric string surrounded by square brackets. Named http links have text with an http: link inside, like FreePAN Site Sometimes WordsShouldNotMakeAWikiLink so put a '!' beforehand. Same thing with http://foobar.com Mailto links are just email addresses like foo@bar.com. Links to images display the image:

Unordered lists begin with a '* '. The number of asterisks determines the level: • foo • bar ◦ boom ◦ bam • baz

• foo
• bar
  • boom
  • bam
• baz

.

Ordered lists begin with a '0 ' (zero):

1. foo
2. bar
   1. boom
   2. bam
3. baz

.

You can mix lists too:

• Today:
  1. Eat icecream
  2. Buy a pony

• Tomorrow:
  1. Eat more icecream
  2. Buy another pony

.

This feature no longer works correctly in Kwiki >0.31. Notice that this produces two unordered lists at the top level, instead of one. –MattHoward 

Any text that does not begin in the first column is rendered as preformatted text. foo bar

x     y
1     2

.

You can comment out wiki-text with '# ' at the beginning of a line. This will make the text an html comment:
# These lines have been # commented out

.

This feature no longer works correctly in Kwiki >0.31. Not much to say, it just doesn't work. –MattHoward
