Although there are tons of different wiki formatting approaches (traditional wikis, various enterprise systems etc) - we focused on use the most widespread formatting provided by
MediaWiki and adopted by the most popular wiki-based resource
WikiPedia. Our WYSIWYG editor is being constantly improved, though sometimes it’s useful to know some basic wiki markups. So in a series of posts i'll give you tips how to use wiki formatting if you find that the WYSIWYG editor does not yet satisfies all your needs :)
Including images
To insert an image on a page,
- upload it to filesystem
- use {{\\Path\To\YourImage.jpg}} (Note the 2 slashes before actual location)
- TIP: if you've uploaded file with spaces in name, please refer to it, replacing spaces with %20
Including pages
To insert an page:
- use {{PROJECT/PAGENAME}}
- TIP: If you're referring to a page that starts with user/default/ you may use {{:PAGENAME}}
- TIP: To hide a part of the page when including, use
::
<noinclude> this text will be hidden </noinclude> Switching off Wiki formatting
You may need to switch off Wiki formatting for some block of text. You can do it using the following syntax:
::
<nowiki>Strange code is here</nowiki>For some of the users this might seem a little hard to understand, but like I said we want to make it as simple as possible to use all the features of our
online project management tool, this is why we are streaming to improve our built in WYSIWYG editor. Expect some more posts how to use wiki soon. Meanwhile keep Comindworking :)
