Wacko text formatting is slightly different from other wikis, so you should read the examples below.

You can experiment with the Wiki Markup in the Sandbox.
Text enclosed in pairs of double quotes is not formatted and remains unchanged when displayed.

1. Table of contents

2. Basic Formatting

int main(int arc,char **argv)
{
    printf("Hello, %s!\n", (argc>1) ? argv[1] : "World");
    return 0;
}	

3. Alignment

The alignment is carried out with the help of such a complex structure:

wrapper_align can be center, right or justify.

4. Links

As character markup for creating links, you can use round ((, )) or square [[, ]] brackets. Both characters are equal. Square brackets can be useful if the page text already contains simple round brackets, which may be mistakenly considered markup.

4.1. External Links

mailto:address@example.com ((address@example.com)) email.	mailto:address@example.com address@example.com
xmpp:addresse@example.com Jabber.	xmpp:addresse@example.com
((https://example.com/archive.zip Archive (zip) )) https://example.com/archive.zip	Archive (zip) https://example.com/archive.zip

4.2. Internal Links

((/HomePage https://wackowiki.org/wacko_logo.png)) Image with a link.
{{anchor href="test"}} anchor declaration.
((#test)) or ((/HomePage#TOC_1)) anchor reference.	test or /HomePage#TOC_1

Notes

1. For internal links, relative or absolute addressing can be used.
2. Mixed case words (LikeThis) do not need to be enclosed in brackets, when wikilinks are not disabled. For internal links (inside this Wiki), the complete URL should not be written (otherwise the link will not work). Add "https://" only for external links.
3. To prevent a WordLikeThis from becoming a link, place a ~ (tilde) in front of it.
4. How do you use a link to a local file with spaces in it? (e.g.: S:\Network Drive\File 1.txt or //server1\file name.txt)
   To link to local files on a server with spaces like that, use file:/// and switch all backslashes to forward slashes. Also, replace any spaces with %20, so your link would become file://///server1/file%20name.txt Also, there is an issue with linking to local files on Firefox: Solution
   
5. To resize and align images from external sources you can use the following syntax: ((http://example.com/image.png width=500 align=center)), available parameters width, height and align=[left, center, right].

5. Including uploaded files

file:/mammut_mascot.jpg checks for global file file:mammut_mascot.jpg checks for local file, that is only available to readers of this page file:/Subpage/archive.zip absolute path for local file, necessary for local files to be included in another page The file must already be uploaded. detailed description...

file:/Subpage/archive.zip

5.1. Media Parameters

Parameters are added to the file syntax by appending a question mark ? and adding additional parameters by an ampersand &.
e.g. file:/lotus_flower.jpg?right&caption&400

• linking
  • direct - to file
  • nolink - shows only the image
  • linkonly - shows only link
  • meta - to filemeta handler (default)
• alignment
  • right
  • left
  • center
• resizing
  • 400x300 - width × height
  • 0x700 - height
  • 600 - width
• others
  • caption - shows caption
  • clear - clears float

Lists:
  first line
    indented line
----
  * bullet list

8. Cite and definitions

9. Footnotes

10. Quoting

Hi!
> Yes, it is.
>> Are you sure?
> Of course, yes!
>> Really?
>>> Now what?	

11. Tables

Table with border
#|
*|header 1|header 2|header 3|*
||cell11|cell12|cell13||
||cell21|cell22||
|#

Table without border, 100% width
#||
||cell11|cell12|cell13||
||cell21|cell22||
||#

Note: Complex tables can be created by using inline HTML, if available.
To include a pipe | as content within your cell, enclosed the pipe by a pair of double quotes: ""|"".

12. Miscellaneous

Horizontal rule (separator):
----

Forced line break:
test---new line
test
new line

Forced empty line:
---"" ""---

Text output "as-is" -- ignoring markup
Text should be enclosed by a pair of double quotes, e.g. ""test---new line"". You can look at the source of this page for numerous examples.
Furthermore, for the screening of any form of marking, it is possible to use ~ (tilde).

13. Inline HTML

HTML output "as-is"
This works only if the site admin allows it.

If you see <input type="text"> instead of the input field, the site admin don't turn up this function (config parameter: allow_rawhtml).
NB: It is very dangerous option, avoid XSS!.

14. Special Character

The automatic proofreader built into the wiki automatically adjusts the saved text to the formatting norms, saving the authors from excessively detailed editing. Here are the changes he makes:

15. Macros

Macros are little shortcuts which automatically update the document you're writing with relevant variables such as your name and wikiname, the date of writing etc. Basically, they're just little text shortcuts.

To automatically insert your name, use:
::::
RomanIvanov

Auto name and date:
::@::
RomanIvanov /20.06.2003 18:13/

Date:
::+::
20.06.2003 18:13

16. Code and Syntax highlighting

WackoWiki is easily extended with text formatters. They are called using syntax %%(name) text%%.

As character markup for text formatters, you can use percent signs %%, %% or grave accents ``, ``. Both characters are equal. Grave accents can be useful if the text already contains percent signs, which may be mistakenly considered markup.
Beyond that this allows you to wrap a formatter in a formatter, e.g. wrapping a CSS highlighter in a details formatter.

There are several formatters included in Wacko package:

<?php
phpinfo();
$s = "Hello, World!\n";
echo $s;

	

zypper dup --no-recommends

RI>> Yes, it is.
>Are you sure?

Of course, yes!

Roman.	

SELECT * FROM sometable 
WHERE a = '12' and b = 2 
ORDER BY c DESC;

<a href="http://example.com">test</a>

END.	

body {margin: 0; padding: 5px;}

var a = document.getElementById("test");
a.value = new Array(15, 31);
function echo (msg) {alert(msg)};

$s = "Hello, World!\n";
echo $s;

<config>
<section name="test">

  <val><![CDATA[..text...]]></val>
</section>
</config>
