# Simple Wiki

The simplified Wiki markup is mostly similar to «MediaWiki», but differs in some nuances from MediaWiki.

Making links to other locations on the web works by inserting
bla [http://www.bla.org|description] bla

[mailto:et@cewebs.org|description]

## Other basics

/*WIKI syntax expression*/
A comment. The expression inside is not processed by the WIKI markup parser.

/**Invisible Comment**/
A comment. This comment can only be seen by screen readers or when editing the page.

// invisible comment which needs no white space

''emphasis''
Two single quotes. Tells the parser to print the content in italic letters

'''strong'''
Three single quotes. Tells the parser to print the content in bold letters

___underline___
Three underscores. Tells the parser to print the content in underline letters

---strike through---
Three dashes. Tells the parser to print the content in strike through

%%monospaced%%
to print text monospaced (typewriter).

!!annotation!!
This element is excluded from export. With this element the users can put comments in the text, to further ease collaboration. This should not be used as versioning instrument.

## Lists

Lists basically work like in MediaWiki with the exception that a newline is possible. A list is terminated when two newlines (a paragraph) occur.

A star at the beginning of a line starts a normal bullet-list. The list continues until a paragraph or a heading is found.
* a star

Two stars at the beginning of a line start a sub-list. It can only exist inside a bullet-list or numbered list.
** two stars

Three stars at the beginning of a line start a sub-sub-list. It can only exist inside a bullet-sub-list or numbered sub-list.
*** three stars

A hash symbol at the beginning of a line starts a numbered list. The list continues until a paragraph or a heading is found.
# a hash

Two hash symbols at the beginning of a line start a numbered sub-list. It can only exist inside a bullet-list or numbered list.
## two hashes

Three hash symbols at the beginning of a line start a numbered sub-sub-list. It can only exist inside a bullet-sub-list or numbered sub-list.
### three hashes

As already obvious these two list types can also be interspersed. The last list type is a definition-list. It is used by writing
;definition: description
starting at the beginning of a line. This type comes in very handy when defining concepts or terms.

A difference to MediaWiki markup is introduced by making it possible to create indented text blocks. This is especially useful when adding long quotes to documents. An indented paragraph is denoted by two leading > characters (>>).

## Images

Images can be used inside the page by writing

[image:name|formating|description]

Valid Examples:

[image:http://bla.org/test.png]
[image:http://bla.org/test.png|Ich bin ein schönes Bild]
[image:http://bla.org/test.png|width:10em; height:10em|Ich bin ein schönes Bild]

## Monospaced Text

There is also the ability to add text that is printed in monospaced letters. This is especially useful when one wants to add source code to a document. Every line with a space as the first letter is printed monospaced, multiple successive lines following this rule are interpreted as block. Example:
people.each do |person|
puts person + ' has an IQ of ' + rand(200)
end

## Mathematical Formulas

$\Delta\iota\delta\alpha\kappa\tau\iota\kappa\eta$ has support for mathematical formulas through LaTeX syntax. There is support for both, inline (denoted by $) Use a formula ($R_{2}=(\left\lbrace A,B,C,D,E,F,G \right\rbrace, F_{2})\$) inside a sentence.
and block formulas (denoted by $and$)
$\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n} \infty$

It is also possible to reference block formulas by giving them a label, like in the following example:
$my sum:\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n} \infty$
You can now reference it in the text by writing
