Wiki-Code

This table contains a short description of the tags that can be used in the Wiki and several other servlets of YaCy. For a more detailed description visit the YaCy Wiki.

Code	Description
==headline1== ===headline2=== ====headline3====	These tags create headlines. If a page has three or more headlines, a directory will be created automaticly.
''text'' '''text''' '''''text'''''	These tags create stressed texts. The first pair emphasizes the text (most browsers will display it in italics), the second one emphazises it more strongly (i.e. bold) and the last tags create a combination of both.
:text ::text	Lines will be indented. This tag is supposed to mark citations, but may as well be used for styling purposes.
#point1 ##point1.1 ##point1.2 #point2	These tags create a numbered list.
*something **another thing ***and yet another *something else	These tags create a unnumbered list.
;word 1:definition 1 ;word 2:definition 2 ;;word 3:definition 3 ;word 4:definition 4	These tags create a definition list.
----	This tag creates a horizontal line.
[[pagename]] [[pagename|description]]	This tag creates links to other pages of the wiki.
[url] [url description]	This tag creates links to external websites.
[[Image:url]] [[Image:url|alt text]] [[Image:url|align|alt text]]	This tag displays an image, it can be aligned left, right or center.
{| |- ||row 1, col 1||row 1, col 2 |- ||row 2, col 1||row 2, col 2 |}	These tags create a table, whereas the first marks the beginning of the table, the second starts a new line, the third and fourth each create a new cell in the line. The last displayed tag closes the table.
[= text =]	The escape tags will cause all tags in the text between the starting and the closing tag to not be treated as wiki-code.
<pre> text </pre>	A text between these tags will keep all the spaces and linebreaks in it. Great for ASCII-art and program code.
text  text text	If a line starts with a space, it will be displayed in a non-proportional font.
