Headings: Three or more dashes at the beginning of a line, followed by plus signs and the heading text. One plus creates a top level heading, two pluses a second level heading, etc. The maximum heading depth is 6. You can create a table of contents with the %TOC% macro. If you want to exclude a heading from the TOC, put !! after the ---+ .
Empty headings are allowed, but won't appear in the table of contents.
See the <ho> tag below for how to adjust heading levels dynamically.

WikiWord Links: CapitalizedWordsStuckTogether (or WikiWords) will produce a link automatically if preceded by whitespace or parenthesis.
'.' are used to separate webs and subwebs from topic names and therefore cannot be used in topic names.
It's generally a good idea to use the macros %SYSTEMWEB%, %SANDBOXWEB% and %USERSWEB% instead of System, Sandbox and Main.
To prevent a word from linking, prefix it with the exclaimation mark (!) or <nop>
|
%STATISTICSTOPIC% %SANDBOXWEB%.WebNotify %SANDBOXWEB%.%HOMETOPIC% %SANDBOXWEB%.Subweb.TopicName | WebStatistics WebNotify Sandbox TopicName | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Acronym Links: Words that are all capitals will produce a link automatically only if the topic already exists!. |
ACRONYM %SYSTEMWEB%.ACRONYM | ACRONYM ACRONYM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Anchors: You can define a reference inside a topic (called an anchor name) and link to that. To define an anchor write #AnchorName at the beginning of a line. The anchor name must be a WikiWord of no more than 32 characters. To link to an anchor name use the [[MyTopic#MyAnchor]] syntax. You can omit the topic name if you want to link within the same topic.
|
[[WikiWord#NotThere]] [[#MyAnchor][Jump]] #MyAnchor To here | WikiWord Jump To here | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Forced Links: You can create a forced internal link by enclosing words in double square brackets. Text within the brackets may contain optional spaces; the topic name is formed by capitalizing the initial letter and by removing the spaces; for example, [[wiki word]] links to topic WikiWord. You can also refer to a different web and use anchors.
To "escape" double square brackets that would otherwise make a link, prefix the leading left square bracket with an exclamation point. |
[[wiki syntax]] [[Main.Wiki groups]] escaped: ![[wiki syntax]] | WikiSyntax WikiGroups escaped: [[wiki syntax]] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Renamed Links: You can create a link where you specify the link text and the URL separately using nested square brackets [[reference][text]] . Internal link references (e.g. WikiWord) and URLs (e.g. https://foswiki.org/) are both supported.
The rules described under Forced Links apply for internal link references.
Anchor names can be added as well, to create a link to a specific place in a topic. |

Automatic links: Typed-in URLs are linked automatically. Most standard protocols are supported; if yours is missing, it can be added by the site administrator. URLs for images are automatically inserted inline. Email addresses are also linked automatically, see further details below. automatic linking of URLs and email addresses is not blocked by thenoautolink setting.
|

|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Prevent an Automatic Link: Prevent a WikiWord, URL, email address or image from being linked by prepending it with an exclamation point (!) or <nop> tag.
Note that you can use the <nop> tag, but any leading markup directly adjacent to a wikiword will prevent automatic linking because the word is no longer space delimitied.

Disable Automatic Linking: You can disable automatic linking of WikiWords by surrounding text with <noautolink> and </noautolink> tags.You can also turn off WikiWord auto-linking with the NOAUTOLINK preference setting. The noautolink feature only applies to WikiWords. It does not stop linking of URLs, or email addresses.

Mailto Links: E-mail addresses are linked automatically. To create e-mail links that have more descriptive link text, specify subject lines or message bodies, or omit the e-mail address, you can write [[mailto:user@domain][descriptive text]] .
automatic linking of email addresses is not blocked by <noautolink> , Escape with a ! to prevent auto linking.

Escapes Escapes are used to prevent a "default action" from occuring. They are used in many places when composing topics and writing Foswiki macros.

Controlling how content is rendered: There are 3 ways to control how your topic content is rendered. This is done with three HTML or pseudo-HTML tags: <literal>, <verbatim> and <pre> They
control whether or not:
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Literal content: Foswiki generates HTML code from TML shorthand. Experts surround anything that must be output literally in the HTML code, without the application of shorthand rules, with <literal>..</literal> tags.
Any HTML within literal tags must be well formed i.e. all tags must be properly closed before the end of the literal block. Macros are expanded within literal blocks. |
<literal> | Not | A | Table | </literal> |
| Not | A | Table | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Verbatim (Literal) Text: Surround code excerpts and other formatted text with <verbatim> and </verbatim> tags.verbatim tags disable HTML code. Use <pre> and </pre> tags instead if you want the HTML code within the tags to be interpreted.Preferences settings (* Set NAME = value) are set within verbatim tags. |
<verbatim> class CatAnimal { void purr() { <code here> } } </verbatim> |
class CatAnimal { void purr() { <code here> } } |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Verbatim (Literal) Code Highlighting: Surround code excerpts and other formatted text e.g. with <verbatim class="bash"> and </verbatim> tags.This type of code highlighting is based on Chili - the jQuery code highlighter plugin. Please find supported class attributes in JQueryChili. verbatim tags disable HTML code. Use <pre class="bash"> and </pre> tags instead if you want the HTML code within the tags to be interpreted.Preferences settings (* Set NAME = value) are set within verbatim tags. |
<verbatim class="bash"> #!/bin/bash while [ -n "$(ls . ~/ \ ~/pub* /var/www 2>/dev/null \ | fgrep foswiki )" ] ; do clear printf "\nFoswiki rules!\n" sleep 10 clear printf "\nFoswiki still rules!\n" sleep 10 done; exit 0 </verbatim> |
#!/bin/bash while [ -n "$(ls . ~/ \ ~/pub* /var/www 2>/dev/null \ | fgrep foswiki )" ] ; do clear printf "\nFoswiki rules!\n" sleep 10 clear printf "\nFoswiki still rules!\n" sleep 10 done; exit 0 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Protected content: Experts protect text from mangling by WYSIWYG editors using <sticky>..</sticky> tags. Sticky tags don't have any effect on normal
topic display; they are only relevant when content has to be
protected from a WYSIWYG editor (usually because it isn't well-formed HTML, or because it
is HTML that WYSIWYG would normally filter out or modify). Protected
content appears as plain text in the WYSIWYG editor.
Any HTML within sticky tags must be well formed i.e. all tags must be properly closed before the end of the sticky block. Macros are expanded within sticky blocks. |
<sticky> <div> This div %RED%is%ENDCOLOR% required </div> </sticky> |

Adjust heading levels: You can adjust heading levels for headings generated using ---+ markup and also HTML <h> tags using the <ho> tag.The %INCLUDE and %SEARCH macros also have a headingoffset parameter to do this for you in included content.Heading levels are limited to the range 1..6 after any offset is applied. |
---++ offset is 0 <ho off="1"> ---++ H2 becomes H3 <ho off="-1"> ---++ offset was 1, so offset is now 0 |
offset is 0H2 becomes H3offset was 1, so offset is now 0 |
