Paragraphs
Paragraphs are separated by blank lines.
A single line break inside a paragraph
creates a new line
instead of a new paragraph.
Horizontal rules
Use [hr]
on a line by itself to create a horizontal rule, like this:
Headings
Use h4. text
, h5. text
, or h6. text
to create a heading:
h4. Heading
h5. Heading
h6. Heading
Quotes
[quote] Chiyo-dad said: I wish I were a bird. [/quote]
Becomes:
Chiyo-dad said:
I wish I were a bird.
Quotes can be nested:
[quote] [quote] Hello everyone~! [/quote] Oh my gah! [/quote]
Becomes:
Hello everyone~!
Oh my gah!
Lists
Start a line with an '*' to make a list:
* Item 1 * Item 2 ** Item 2.a ** Item 2.b * Item 3
Becomes:
- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 2.a
- Item 2.b
- Item 3
Expands
Use [expand]
to create collapsible blocks of text:
[expand] Text that is hidden by default. Click the "Show" button to expand the block and make the text visible. [/expand]
Becomes:
Show
This text is hidden by default. Clicking the "Show" button will expand the block.
Use [expand=Custom title]
to add a custom title:
[expand=Custom title] This text is hidden by default. Clicking the "Show" button will expand the block. [/expand]
Becomes:
Custom title
This text is hidden by default. Clicking the "Show" button will expand the block.
