<ow:link name="OpenWiki" href="ow.asp?OpenWiki" date="2005-05-02T12:00:00+01:00">Open Wiki</ow:link>
offers many system options to the administrator of an
<ow:link name="OpenWiki" href="ow.asp?OpenWiki" date="2005-05-02T12:00:00+01:00">Open Wiki</ow:link>
site, so the formatting rules may differ between various
<ow:link name="OpenWiki" href="ow.asp?OpenWiki" date="2005-05-02T12:00:00+01:00">Open Wiki</ow:link>
sites.
This particular wiki has every system option turned on except the one that would give editors the ability to enter raw HTML into a page (with some minor exceptions to that exception
<img src="ow/images/icons/emoticon-wink.gif" width="14" height="12" alt="" />
).

<ow:link name="WikiName" href="ow.asp?WikiName" date="2005-05-02T12:00:00+01:00">Wiki Name</ow:link>
conforms to the
<ow:link name="LinkPattern" href="ow.asp?LinkPattern" date="2005-05-02T12:00:00+01:00">Link Pattern</ow:link>
, which basically is a word containing more than one capital letter where the capitals aren't right next to each other. In other words, simply

.
</li>
</ul>
That's basically all you need to know to get started. Following are more basic rules. For advanced formatting rules see

.
<h3>Bold, Italic, Underscore, Strikethrough</h3>
To mark text as
enclose text by two asterisks (*) characters on both sides.
To mark text as
enclose text by two slash (/) characters on both sides.
To mark text
enclose text by two underscore (_) characters on both sides.
To mark text
<strike>strikethrough</strike>
enclose text by two dash (-) characters on both sides.
<pre class="code">
**Some bold text**, //some italic text//, and **//some bold and italic text//**
__Some underlined text__ --Some strikethrough text--
</pre>
will appear as:
,
, and
<i>some bold and italic text</i>
</b>
<u>Some underlined text</u>
<strike>Some strikethrough text</strike>
OpenWiki also supports the "old" style of placing emphasis on text which is used by several original wikis.
<pre class="code">
''2 quotes are italic'', '''3 quotes are bold''', and '''''5 quotes are bold and italic'''''
</pre>
will appear as:
<em>2 quotes are italic</em>
,
<strong>3 quotes are bold</strong>
, and
<strong>5 quotes are bold and italic</strong>
</em>
Note: whether the "new" and/or "old" style of placing emphasis on text is in effect depends on the system options as configured by the administrator of this site.

All lists start with 2 spaces at the beginning of a line. Sublists are created by adding an additional 2 spaces for every level that you want to add. See also

<pre class="code">
* Bulleted Item

* And another one
* Last one
</pre>
will appear as:
<li>Subbulleted item</li>

</ul>
<pre class="code">
1. First item

<h4>Dictionary Lists</h4>
Terms with indented definitions: [without a blank line between term and definition]
<pre class="code">
; Term One : Definition for One (indented)
; Term Two : Definition for Two (indented)
; Term Three : Definition for Three (indented)
; Term (indented) : Definition (indented two levels)
; Term (indented twice) : Definition (indented to third level)
</pre>
will appear as:
<dd> Definition for One (indented)</dd>
<dd> Definition for Two (indented)</dd>
<dd> Definition for Three (indented)</dd>
<dt> Term (indented)</dt>
<dd> Definition (indented two levels)</dd>
<dt> Term (indented twice)</dt>
<dd> Definition (indented to third level)</dd>
</dl>
</dl>
</dl>
You can also mix lists, for example:
<pre class="code">
* First bulleted item
* Second bulleted item
1. First subitem of **second item**
Some more text about first subitem....
End of this subitem.
2. Second subitem of **second item**
* Last bulleted item
</pre>
will appear as:
<li>First bulleted item</li>
<li>Second bulleted item</li>
Some more text about first subitem....
End of this subitem.
</ol>
<li>Last bulleted item</li>
</ul>
<pre class="code">
: Paragraph to be indented (quote-block)
: Paragraph indented more
: Paragraph indented to third level
</pre>
will appear as:
<dd>Paragraph to be indented (quote-block)</dd>
<dd>Paragraph indented more</dd>
<dd>Paragraph indented to third level</dd>
</dl>
</dl>
</dl>
<h3>Preformatted text</h3>
If you want to display sourcecode use the
tag or enclose the source by three acolades (e.g. {{{some code}}}).
Singleline example:
<pre class="code">
The command {{{foo := bar + 1;}}} will add 1 to bar and assign it to foo.
</pre>
will appear as:
The command
will add 1 to bar and assign it to foo.
Multiline example:
<pre class="code">
{{{
begin
foo := bar + 1;
end;
}}}
</pre>
will appear as:
<pre class="code">
begin
foo := bar + 1;
end;
</pre>
Note that within sourcecode most features won't work, such as: automatic hyperlinking of URLs,
<ow:link name="WikiName" href="ow.asp?WikiName" date="2005-05-02T12:00:00+01:00">Wiki Name</ow:link>
s, making text italic, etc. What still does work within sourcecode is the ability to highlight text by using three single quotes and the ability to use the
tag.
Example:
<pre class="code">
<code>
begin
'''foo := bar + 1;'''
foo := foo << 1;
return foo;
end;
</code>
</pre>
will appear as:
begin
foo := foo << 1;
return foo;
end;
</pre>
<pre class="code">
|| **ID** || **Name** || **Description** ||
|| 123 || John Foo || Some foo user ||
|| 456 || Mary Richardson || Contact person from Foo Corp. ||
</pre>
will appear as:
-<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" border="1" class="wiki"> <td class="wiki"> 123 </td>
<td class="wiki"> John Foo </td>
<td class="wiki"> Some foo user </td>
</tr>
<td class="wiki"> 456 </td>
<td class="wiki"> Mary Richardson </td>
<td class="wiki"> Contact person from Foo Corp. </td>
</tr>
</table>
