Introduction

Paragraphs

• Words wrap and fill as needed. Do not bother with line lengths.
• Separate paragraphs with blank lines.

Lists

• Lists are like this.
• In order to create a list, put * at the start of each line.
• If you need to make a list with deeper hierarchy,
  • you can do it by placing ** for second level, etc.
• Use * for bullet lists, # for numbered lists (mix at will)
• ;Term:def Definition for definition lists
• One line for each item; list items can not span multiple lines (but you can use %%%).

Line breaking

Headings

• ‘! ’ at the start of a line makes a small heading.
• ‘!!’ at the start of a line makes a medium heading.
• ‘!!!’ at the start of a line makes a large heading.
• ‘!!!!’ at the start of a line makes a main heading. Because the system automatically creates a main heading for normal pages, this markup is only usable for system pages.
• Usage of headings for structuring the document is recommended. Headings also constitute the table of contents (%%TOC%%).

Emphasis

• Use doubled single-quotes ('') for emphasis (italics).
• Use doubled underscore (__) for strong emphasis (bold).
• Use doubled parentheses (( and )) for smaller text. (Can be nested)
• Use doubled braces {{ and }} for teletype text.
• Use triple dashes (---) for overstrike effect (when you wish to emphasize that something has been changed/removed from the page).
• Use double square quotes «« and »» for inline quotations (Can be nested).
• Emphasis can cross line boundaries, so be careful – a rogue “---” for example can cause the entire page appear in strike-over.

Preformatted text

This is preformatted text using a monospace font (space as first character).
Here is an action scene:
   +__-+-       “One image says more than a thousand words.”
 --   \__|                                    _____ _:
              _____             ____    - -- |     | |_
     - - --- /  |__\__    --  _/ |__\|_    - O  ~  |   \
   _  -   __ `-o----o-'__    `-o-----o-'  __ `-oo--^--o-'

References (Links)

• Hyperlinks to other pages can be made by enclosing them in brackets: [RecentChanges] or [recent changes].
• Also, precede URLs with “http:”, “ftp:” or “mailto:” to create links automatically as in: http://www.google.com/ .
• You can suppress automatical hyperlink parsing by preceding the link with a ‘!’, e.g. !http://not.linked.to/.
• It is possible to give your link a different name by using square brackets and ‘|’ like this: [FAQ|Questions and answers] produces: Questions and answers.
• To output brackets as-is, put them in doubles: [[ and ]]
• URLs ending with .png, .gif, .jpg are inlined if put in square brackets (embedded images).
  (But when you embed images, please make sure that you have the permission to do so from the server where the image is being loaded from!)
• To left- or right-align an embedded picture, the link text can be “left” or “right” respectively.

• Footnotes: create links to footnotes with [#1] or any other number (i.e. square brackets + hash + number), and precede the footnote itself with [1] (i.e. square brackets + number). Example: ^[1]

Tables

||header1||header2||header3||header4||
|field1a|field2a| |field4a|
|field1b|field2b with [|] vertical bar|field3b with%%%a few words|field4b|

Mark-Up Language (HTML)

• Do not try to use HTML. HTML markup does not work.
• < and > and & are themselves.

Table of contents

• You can insert a table of contents to the page with the %%TOC%% macro. (See the top of this page for an example of its use.)
• The table of contents must come before any headers or else it will not work.

Tabs

%%TAB header_text1%%
entry1
%%TAB header_text2%%
entry2
...
%%TAB header_textn%%
entryn
%%TAB_END%%

%%TAB Table of Pokémon%%
Bulbasaur, Venusaur, Ivysaur, and hundreds of others.
%%TAB Minimize tab%%
%%TAB_END%%

• %%TAB_END%% is important. If it is missing, the tab will not show up.
• Tabs cannot be nested.

Comments and if macros

• To write something in the source without having it show up in the page, surround the comment with [if:0]...[endif].
• Surrounding anything with [if:1]...[endif] does nothing to the text.
• The wiki reserves some variables which evaluate to 1 if true and 0 if false:
  • UserIsLoggedOn
  • CanEditPages (1 if user is an editor)
  • UserHasHomepage
  • CanViewSubmissions (as for now, always 1)
  • CanSubmitMovies (as for now, same as UserIsLoggedOn)
  • CanJudgeMovies
  • CanPublishMovies
  • CanRateMovies (as for now, same as UserIsLoggedOn)

• [expr:UserGetWikiName] returns the reader's wiki username (if logged on).
• [user:user_name] links to the homepage of user_name (if there is one).

Character set

• This server uses unicode with UTF-8 encoding. This means that you can use all characters supported by unicode, including the Japanese characters. But please note that not everyone can read them.
