---++ Text Formatting FAQ

The most frequently asked questions about text formatting are answered. Also, TextFormattingRules contains the complete TWiki shorthand system on one quick reference page.

%TOC%

---
---+++ How do I make a separator?

Create a separator - a horizontal rule - by entering three dashes at the beginning of a blank line: =---=. You can enter more than three if you like, for a more visible separator in edit mode: <br />
=--------------=

--------------
---+++ How do I create a heading?

You can create six sizes of headings - &lt;h1&gt;...&lt;h6&gt; in HTML - by typing, from the beginning of a line, three dashes (-), from one to six plus signs (+), a space, and your heading text. The FAQ questions on this page are created with: =---+++ Have a question?=.
	* You can insert a nested table of contents, generated from headings, by placing =%<nop>TOC%= wherever you like on a page (see %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiVariables for more =%<nop>TOC%= options).

-----
#TextEnclosed
---+++ Text enclosed in angle brackets like &lt;filename&gt; is not displayed. How can I show it as it is?

TWiki interprets text as HTML, and the '&lt;' and '&gt;' characters define where HTML commands start and end. Text _inside_ angle brackets is treated as HTML, and ignored if it doesn't actually do anything - either way, the brackets and its contents are not displayed.

If you want to display angle brackets, enter them as HTML codes instead of typing them in directly:
	* =&amp;lt;= = =&lt;= <br />
	  =&amp;gt;= = =&gt;=

	* __You enter:__ =(a &amp;gt; 0)= <p /> 
	  __Result:__ =(a &gt; 0)=

---
---+++ Some words appear highlighted, with a "?" link at the end. How can I prevent that?

A question mark after a word is a link to a topic that doesn't yet exist - click it to create the new page. This is a TWiki feature - typing a MeaningfulTitle in a comment is an invitation for someone else to add a new branch to the topic.  

To prevent auto-linking - say you want to enter a word like <nop>JavaScript (the proper spelling!) - prefix the WikiStyleWord with an exclamation point: 

	* =!WikiStyleWord= displays as !WikiStyleWord

---
---+++ How can I write fixed font text?

The quickest way is to enclose the text in equal signs:

	* __You enter:__ =Proportional text, <nop>=fixed font=<nop>, proportional again.= <p />
	  __Result:__ Proportional text, =fixed font=, proportional again.

---
#VerbatimText
---+++ Text I enter gets wrapped around. How can I keep the formatting as it is?

TWiki interprets text as HTML, so you can use the =preformatted= HTML option to keep the new line of text as is. Enclose the text in &lt;pre&gt; &lt;/pre&gt;, or in TWiki's own &lt;verbatim&gt; &lt;/verbatim&gt; tag:
<pre>
This text will keep its format as it is:
&lt;verbatim&gt;
  Unit	  Price	Qty  Cost
  -------  ------  ---  ------
  aaa		 12.00	 3	36.00
&lt;/verbatim&gt;
</pre>

The =pre= tag is standard HTML; =verbatim= is a special TWiki tag that forces text to fixed font mode, and also prevents other tags and TWiki shortcuts from being expanded.

*NOTE:* VARIABLES are still Set within verbatim tags (this is a historical peculiarity)

---
---+++ How do I create tables?

There are three possibilities:
	1 Use Wiki rule with "|" vertical bars.
	2 Use HTML tables with &lt;table&gt;, &lt;tr&gt;, &lt;td&gt; tags.
	3 Use preformatted text with &lt;verbatim&gt; tags.

*1. Use Wiki rule with "|" vertical bars*

	* Example text: %BR%
	  =| cell A1 | cell B1 | cell C1 |= %BR%
	  =| cell A2 | cell B2 | cell C2 |=
	* Example output: 
	  | cell A1 | cell B1 | cell C1 |
	  | cell A2 | cell B2 | cell C2 |

*2. Use HTML tables with &lt;table&gt;, &lt;tr&gt;, &lt;td&gt; tags*

This is a manual process using HTML commands. 

__You enter:__

<pre>
&lt;table border="1"&gt;
  &lt;tr&gt;
	 &lt;th&gt; Head A  &lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt; Head B  &lt;/th&gt;
  &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;
	 &lt;td&gt; Cell A2 &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; Cell B2 &lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;
	 &lt;td&gt; Cell A3 &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; Cell B3 &lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
</pre>

__Result:__

<table border="1">
  <tr>
	 <th> Head A  </th> <th> Head B  </th>
  </tr><tr>
	 <td> Cell A2 </td> <td> Cell B2 </td>
  </tr><tr>
	 <td> Cell A3 </td> <td> Cell B3 </td>
  </tr>
</table>

*3. Use preformatted text with &lt;verbatim&gt; tags*

See [[#VerbatimText]["Text I enter gets wrapped around..."]] 


---

---+++ Can I include images on a page?

Yes. The easiest way is to [[FileAttachment][attach]] a GIF, JPG or PNG file to a topic and then to place it with: =%<nop>ATTACHURL%/myImage.gif=. This works only for the topic where the image is attached to.

To place an image on any topic, there are two ways of including inline images.

*1. Using URL ending in .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .png*

This is a simple and automatic way of including inline images. Simply write the URL of the image file, this will create the inline image for you. __NOTE:__ The images must be [[#ImgUpload][accessible]] as a URL.

	* __You enter:__ <code> %<nop>PUBURL%/%TWIKIWEB%/TWikiLogos/T-logo-80x15.gif logo.</code> <br />
	  __Result:__ %PUBURL%/%TWIKIWEB%/TWikiLogos/T-logo-80x15.gif logo.

#ImgUpload
You can upload images directly to your server with FTP access. You can also [[FileAttachment][attach]] image files to a topic - you could even create a dedicated image topic, like =ImageLibrary= - and then link to the images directly:
	* Attach =pic.gif= to =Someweb.SomeTopic= <br />
	  Display with =%<nop>PUBURL%/Someweb/SomeTopic/pic.gif=

*2. Using &lt;img&gt; tag*

This is a manual process where you have more control over the rendering of the image. Use the &lt;img&gt; tag of HTML to include GIF, JPG and PNG files. *Note:* The rendering of the topic is faster if you include the =width= and =height= parameters that have the actual image size. http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/wilbur/special/img.html has more on inline images.

	* __You enter:__ <code> &lt;img src="%<nop>PUBURLPATH%/%TWIKIWEB%/TWikiLogos/T-logo-80x15.gif" width="80" height="15" border="0" alt="logo" /&gt; logo.</code><br />
	 __Result:__ <br /> <img src="%PUBURLPATH%/%TWIKIWEB%/TWikiLogos/T-logo-80x15.gif" width="80" height="15" border="0" alt="logo" /> logo.

-----
---+++ Can I write colored text?

TWikiPreferences defines some commonly used colors: *%YELLOW% %<nop>YELLOW%%ENDCOLOR%, %RED% %<nop>RED%%ENDCOLOR%, %PINK% %<nop>PINK%%ENDCOLOR%, %PURPLE% %<nop>PURPLE%%ENDCOLOR%, %TEAL% %<nop>TEAL%%ENDCOLOR%, %NAVY% %<nop>NAVY%%ENDCOLOR%, %BLUE% %<nop>BLUE%%ENDCOLOR%, %AQUA% %<nop>AQUA%%ENDCOLOR%, %LIME% %<nop>LIME%%ENDCOLOR%, %GREEN% %<nop>GREEN%%ENDCOLOR%, %OLIVE% %<nop>OLIVE%%ENDCOLOR%, %MAROON% %<nop>MAROON%%ENDCOLOR%, %BLACK% %<nop>BLACK%%ENDCOLOR%, %GRAY% %<nop>GRAY%%ENDCOLOR%, %SILVER% %<nop>SILVER%%ENDCOLOR%* and *%<nop>ENDCOLOR%*.

	* __You enter:__ =%<nop>RED% red text %<nop>ENDCOLOR% and %<nop>GREEN% green text %<nop>ENDCOLOR%= <p /> 
	  __Result:__ %RED% red text %ENDCOLOR% and %GREEN% green text %ENDCOLOR%

__Note:__ =%&lt;color&gt;%= text must end with =%<nop>ENDCOLOR%= . If you want to switch from one color to another one you first need to end the active color with =%<nop>ENDCOLOR%=, e.g. write =%<nop>RED% some text %<nop>ENDCOLOR% %<nop>GREEN% more text %<nop>ENDCOLOR%=.

If you need more colors you can use HTML, like =&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt; red text &lt;/font&gt;=. You can also use the up-to-date =style= attribute - ex:  =style="color:#ff0000"= - placed in most HTML tags. =span= is an all-purpose choice: =&lt;span style="color:#ff0000"&gt;CoLoR&lt;/span&gt;=. Only old (like 3.x IE &amp; NS) browsers have a problem with =style=.

The code is the _hexadecimal RGB color code_, which is simply Red, Green and Blue values in hex notation (base 16, 0-F). For pure red, the RGB components are 255-0-0 - full red (255), no green or blue. That's FF-0-0 in hex, or ="#ff0000"= for Web page purposes. StandardColors lists basic colors.

Sure. The quickest way is to go &lt;font color="colorCode"&gt;colorize&lt;/font&gt; - =font= is an HTML tag that works in any browser, although it's been phased out in the latest HTML specs.

You can also use the up-to-date =style= attribute - ex:  =style="color:#ff0000"= - placed in most HTML tags. =span= is an all-purpose choice: "&lt;span style="color:#ff0000"&gt;CoLoR&lt;/span&gt;. Only old (like 3.x IE &amp; NS) browsers have a problem with =style=.

"colorCode" is the _hexadecimal RGB color code_, which is simply Red, Green and Blue values in hex notation (base 16, 0-F). For pure red, the RGB components are 255-0-0 - full red (255), no green or blue. That's FF-0-0 in hex, or ="#ff000=" for Web page purposes. For a basic color selection (you can [[StandardColors][StandardColor]] names instead of hex code in the =font= tag only):

TWiki interprets text as HTML. The '&lt;' and '&gt;' characters are used to define HTML commands. Text contained in angle brackets is interpreted by the browser if it's a valid HTML instruction, or ignored if it isn't - either way, the brackets and its contents are not displayed.
d54 1
a54 1
TWiki interprets text as HTML, so you can use the =preformatted= HTML text option to keep the new line of text as is. Enclose the text in &lt;pre&gt; &lt;/pre&gt;, or in TWiki's own &lt;verbatim&gt; &lt;/verbatim&gt; tags:
d64 1
a64 1
The =pre= tag is standard HTML; =verbatim= is a special TWiki tag that also forces text to fixed font mode, and also prevents other tags and TWiki shortcuts from being expanded.
d118 1
a118 1
---+++ Can I include images and pictures?
d120 1
a120 1
Yes, this is possible. The easiest way of including images is to attach a GIF, JPG or PNG file to a topic and then to include it with text =%<nop>ATTACHURL%/myImage.gif= . FileAttachment has more.
d122 1
a122 1
There are actually two ways of including inline images.
d126 1
a126 1
This is a simple and automatic way of including inline images. Simply write the URL of the image file, this will create the inline image for you. *Note:* The images must be accessible as a URL.
d131 5
d138 1
a138 1
This is a manual process where you have more control over the rendering of the image. Use the &lt;img&gt; tag of HTML to include GIF, JPG and PNG files. *Note:* The display of the topic is faster if you include the WIDTH and HEIGHT parameters that have the actual image size. http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/wilbur/special/img.html has more on inline images.

d146 1
a146 1
Sure. The quickest way is to use the &lt;font color="colorCode"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt; tags - they're HTML tags that work in any browser, (although they've been phased in the latest version). 
d148 1
a148 1
You can also use a =style= attribute: =style="color:#ff0000"=, placed in most HTML tags - =span= is an all-purpose choice: "&lt;span style="color:#ff0000">.

A question mark after a word is a link to a topic that doesn't yet exist - click it to create the new page. This is a TWiki feature - typing a MeaningfulTitle in a comment is an invitation for someone else to add to the topic.  
d38 1

To prevent auto-linking - you may simply want to enter a word like <nop>JavaScript (the proper spelling!) - prefix it with the special TWiki HTML tag =&lt;nop&gt;=:

by specifying the red, green and blue components of the color in

TWiki interprets text as HTML. The '&lt;' and '&gt;' characters are used to define HTML commands. Any valid text within angle brackets gets interpreted by the browser as an HTML command. Invalid text is ignored, that's why it doesn't show up.

There are two work arounds if you want to display angle brackets:
d27 4
a30 6
	* Do an escape sequence in HTML:
		* Write <code>&amp;lt;</code> instead of <code>&lt;</code>
		* Write <code>&amp;gt;</code> instead of <code>&gt;</code>
		* Example: Write <code>(a &amp;gt; 0)</code> instead of <code>(a &gt; 0)</code>
