%STARTINCLUDE%
---# TWiki Text Formatting

Working in TWiki is as easy as typing in text. You don't need to know HTML, though you can use it if you prefer. Links to topics are created automatically when you enter WikiWords. And TWiki shorthand gives you all the power of HTML with a simple coding system that takes no time to learn. It's all laid out below.

#TWikiShorthand
---++ TWiki Editing Shorthand

%INCLUDE{"TWikiEditingShorthand"}%

---++ Using HTML

%INCLUDE{"UsingHTML"}%

---+++ Script tags

You can use HTML =&lt;script>= tags for your TWiki applications. However note that your TWiki administrator can disable =&lt;script>= in topics, and may have chosen to do so for security considerations. TWiki markup and TWikiVariables are *not* expanded inside script tags.

---++ Hyperlinks

Being able to create links without any special formatting is a core TWiki feature, made possible with WikiWords and inline URLs.

---+++ Internal Links

   * GoodStyle is a WikiWord that links to the <nop>GoodStyle topic located in the current web.

   * NotExistingYet is a topic waiting to be written. Create the topic by clicking on the *?*. (Try clicking, but then, *Cancel* - creating the topic would wreck this example!)

---+++ External Links

   * =http://...=, =https://...=, =ftp://...=, =gopher://...=, =news://...=, =file://...=, =telnet://...=
     and =mailto:...@@...= are linked automatically.

   * E-mail addresses like =name@@domain.com= are linked automatically.

   * =[<nop>[Square bracket rules]]= let you easily create [[#SquareBrackets][non-WikiWord links]].
      * You can also write =[<nop>[http://yahoo.com Yahoo home page]]= as an easier way of doing external links with descriptive text for the link, such as [[http://yahoo.com/ Yahoo home page]].

---++ TWiki Variables

%INCLUDE{"TWikiVariablesQuickStart"}%

---++ <nop>TWikiPlugin Formatting Extensions

Plugins can extend the functionality of TWiki into many other areas. There are a huge number of TWiki plugins available from the [[http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins][Plugins]] web on TWiki.org.

Currently enabled plugins on this TWiki installation, as listed by =%<nop>PLUGINDESCRIPTIONS%=:
%PLUGINDESCRIPTIONS%

Check on current Plugin status and settings for this site in TWikiPreferences.

---++ Common Editing Errors

TWiki formatting rules are fairly simple to use and quick to type. However, there are some things to watch out for, taken from the TextFormattingFAQ:

   * *Q:* Text enclosed in angle brackets like =&lt;filename&gt;= is not displayed. How can I show it as it is?
      * *A:* The ='&lt;'= and ='&gt;'= characters have a special meaning in HTML, they define HTML tags. You need to escape them, so write ='&amp;lt;'= instead of ='&lt;'=, and ='&amp;gt;'= instead of ='&gt;'=. <br /> Example: Type ='prog &amp;lt;filename&amp;gt;'= to get ='prog &lt;filename&gt;'=.

   * *Q:* Why is the ='&'= character sometimes not displayed?
      * *A:* The ='&'= character has a special meaning in HTML, it starts a so called character entity, i.e. ='&amp;copy;'= is the =&copy;= copyright character. You need to escape ='&amp;'= to see it as it is, so write ='&amp;amp;'= instead of ='&amp;'=. <br /> Example: Type ='This &amp;amp; that'= to get ='This &amp; that'=.

You can use just about any HTML tag without a problem. You can add HTML if there is no TWiki equivalent, for example, write =&lt;strike&gt;deleted text&lt;/strike&gt;= to get <strike>deleted text</strike>.

%X% There are a few usability and technical considerations to keep in mind:
	* On collaboration pages, it's better *not* to use HTML, but to use [[#TWikiShorthand][TWiki shorthand]] instead - this keeps the text uncluttered and easy to edit.
	* If you use HTML use [[http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/][XHTML 1.0 Transitional]] syntax.
	* %X% Script tags may be filtered out, at the discretion of your TWiki administrator.

Recommendations when pasting HTML from other sources:
	* Copy only text between =&lt;body&gt;= and =&lt;/body&gt;= tags.
	* Remove all empty lines. TWiki inserts =&lt;p /&gt;= paragraph tags on empty lines, which causes problems if done between HTML tags that do not allow paragraph tags, like for example between table tags.
	* Remove leading spaces. TWiki might interpret some text as lists.
	* Do not span a tag over more than one line. TWiki requires that the opening and closing angle brackets - ==&lt;...&gt;== - of an HTML tag are on the same line, or the tag will be broken.
	* In your HTML editing program, save without hard line breaks on text wrap.

%T% TWiki converts shorthand notation to HTML for display. To copy a fully marked-up page, simply view the source in your browser and save the contents. If you need to save HTML frequently, you may want to check out TWiki:Plugins/PublishAddOn.

	* *Q:* Text enclosed in angle brackets like =&lt;filename&gt;= is not displayed. How can I show it as it is?
		* *A:* The ='&lt;'= and ='&gt;'= characters have a special meaning in HTML, they define HTML tags. You need to escape them, so write ='&amp;lt;'= instead of ='&lt;'=, and ='&amp;gt;'= instead of ='&gt;'=. <br /> Example: Type ='prog &amp;lt;filename&amp;gt;'= to get ='prog &lt;filename&gt;'=.

	* *Q:* Why is the ='&'= character sometimes not displayed?
		* *A:* The ='&'= character has a special meaning in HTML, it starts a so called character entity, i.e. ='&amp;copy;'= is the =&copy;= copyright character. You need to escape ='&amp;'= to see it as it is, so write ='&amp;amp;'= instead of ='&amp;'=. <br /> Example: Type ='This &amp;amp; that'= to get ='This &amp; that'=.

Working in TWiki is as easy as typing in text - *exactly like email*. You don't need to know HTML, though you can use it if you prefer. Links to topics are created automatically when you enter WikiWords. And TWiki shorthand gives you all the power of HTML with a simple coding system that takes no time to learn. It's all laid out below - refer back to this page in a pop-up window from the *Edit* screen.

 At least three dashes at the beginning of a line, followed by plus signs and the heading text. One plus creates a level 1 heading (most important), two pluses a level 2 heading; the maximum is level 6. __Note:__ A Table of Content can be created automatically with the =%<nop>TOC%= variable, see TWikiVariables.

You can use just about any HTML tag without a problem - however, there are a few usability and technical considerations to keep in mind.

---+++ HTML and TWiki Usability
d441 4
a444 6
	* %T% *TIP:* On collaboration pages, it's preferable NOT to use HTML, and to use [[#TWikiShorthand][TWiki shorthand]] instead - this keeps the text uncluttered and easy to edit.
	* %X% *NOTE:* TWiki is designed to work with a wide range of browsers and computer platforms, holding to HTML 4.0 and XHTML 1.0 compatibility in the standard installation - adding raw HTML, particularly browser-specific tags (or any other mark-up that doesn't degrade well) will reduce compatibility.
	* Recommondations when using HTML:
		* Use [[http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/][XHTML 1.0 Transitional]] syntax
		* Do not span a tag over more then one line
		* Remove all empty lines. TWiki inserts =&lt;p /&gt;= paragraph tags on empty lines, which causes problems if done between tags that do not allow paragraph tags, like for example between table tags.
d446 6
d453 1
a453 1
---+++ TWiki HTML Rendering
d455 1
a455 5
	* TWiki converts shorthand notation to XHTML 1.0 for display. To copy a fully marked-up page, simply view source in your browser and save the contents.
		* %T% If you need to save HTML frequently, you may want to check out TWiki:Plugins/GenHTMLAddon - it will "generate a directory containing rendered versions of a set of TWiki pages together with any attached files."
	* %X% *NOTE:* The opening and closing angle brackets - ==&lt;...&gt;== - of an HTML tag __must be on the same line__, or the tag will be broken.
		* This feature allows you to enter an unclosed angle bracket - as a greater than or less than symbol - and have it automatically rendered as if you had entered its HTML character, =&amp;lt;=, ex: ==a < b==
		* %T% If you're pasting in preformatted HTML text and notice problems, check the file in a text processor with no text wrap. Also, save without hard line breaks on text wrap, in your HTML editing program. 
d457 1
a457 10
---+++ TWiki and <nop>JavaScript

You can use <nop>JavaScript for your TWiki applications. Since TWiki rendering might interfere with <nop>JavaScript code you need to escape it with HTML comments and =&lt;pre&gt;= tags:
<verbatim>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- Hide JavaScript and <pre> escape TWiki rendering
... put your JavaScript code here...
// Stop hiding and stop </pre> escaping TWiki rendering -->
</script>

Plugins provide additional text formatting capabilities and can extend the functionality of %WIKITOOLNAME% into many other areas. For example, the optional [[http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/SpreadSheetPlugin][SpreadSheetPlugin]] lets you create a spreadsheet with the same basic notation used in TWiki tables.

Available Plugins are located in the [[http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins][Plugins]] web on TWiki.org. Currently enabled plugins on this TWiki installation, as listed by =%<nop>PLUGINDESCRIPTIONS%=:

---# TWiki Text Formatting

Working in TWiki is as easy as typing in text - *exactly like email*. You don't need to know HTML, though you can use it if you prefer. Links to topics are created automatically when you enter WikiWords. And TWiki shorthand gives you all the power of HTML with a simple coding system that takes no time to learn. It's all laid out below - refer back to this page in a pop-up window from the *Edit* screen.

---++ Using HTML

You can use just about any HTML tag without a problem - however, there are a few usability and technical considerations to keep in mind.

---+++ HTML and TWiki Usability

	* On collaboration pages, it's preferable NOT to use HTML, and to use [[#TWikiShorthand][TWiki shorthand]] instead - this keeps the text uncluttered and easy to edit.
	* %X% *NOTE:* TWiki is designed to work with a wide range of browsers and computer platforms, holding to HTML 3.2 compatibility in the standard installation - adding raw HTML, particularly browser-specific tags (or any other mark-up that doesn't degrade well) will reduce compatibility.

---+++ TWiki HTML Rendering

	* TWiki converts shorthand notation to XHTML 1.0 for display. To copy a fully marked-up page, simply view source in your browser and save the contents.
		* %T% If you need to save HTML frequently, you may want to check out TWiki:Plugins/GenHTMLAddon - it will "generate a directory containing rendered versions of a set of TWiki pages together with any attached files."
	* %X% *NOTE:* The opening and closing angle brackets - ==&lt;...&gt;== - of an HTML tag __must be on the same line__, or the tag will be broken.
		* This feature allows you to enter an unclosed angle bracket - as a greater than or less than symbol - and have it automatically rendered as if you had entered its HTML character, =&amp;lt;=, ex: ==a < b==
		* %T% If you're pasting in preformatted HTML text and notice problems, check the file in a text processor with no text wrap. Also, save without hard line breaks on text wrap, in your HTML editing program. 

---++ Hyperlinks

Being able to create links without any formatting required is a core TWiki feature, made possible with WikiWords. New TWiki linking rules are a simple extension of the syntax that provide a new set of flexible options. 

---+++ Internal Links

	* GoodStyle is a WikiWord that links to the <nop>GoodStyle topic located in the current %WIKITOOLNAME% web.

	* NotExistingYet is a topic waiting to be written. Create the topic by clicking on the *?*. (Try clicking, but then, *Cancel* - creating the topic would wreck this example!)

---+++ External Links

	* =http://...=, =https://...=, =ftp://...=, =gopher://...=, =news://...=, =file://...=, =telnet://...=
	  and =mailto:...@@...= are linked automatically.

	* Email addresses like =name@@domain.com= are linked automatically.

	* =[<nop>[Square bracket rules]]= let you easily create [[#SquareBrackets][non-WikiWord links]].
		* You can also write =[<nop>[http://yahoo.com Yahoo home page]]= as an easier way of doing external links with descriptive text for the link, such as [[http://yahoo.com/ Yahoo home page]].


---++ TWiki Variables

Variables are names that are enclosed in percent signs =%= that are expanded on the fly.

	* =%<nop>TOC%= : Automatically generates a table of contents based on headings in a topic - see the top of this page for an example.

	* =%<nop>WEB%= : The current web, is <b>%WEB%</b>.

	* =%<nop>TOPIC%= : The current topic name, is <b>%TOPIC%</b>.

	* =%<nop>ATTACHURL%= : The attachment URL of the current topic. Example usage: If you attach a file to a topic you can refer to it as =<b>%<nop>ATTACHURL%/image.gif</b>= to show the URL of the file or the image in your text.

	* =%<nop>INCLUDE{"SomeTopic"}%= : Server side include, includes another topic. The current %WIKITOOLNAME% web is the default web. Example: =<b>%<nop>INCLUDE{"%TWIKIWEB%.SiteMap"}%</b>=

	* =%<nop>SEARCH{"sushi"}%= : Inline search showing the search result embedded in a topic. FormattedSearch gives you control over formatting, used to create web-based applications.

	* TWikiPreferences defines site-wide variables. Among others:
		* *Line break:* Write =<span style='background : #FFFFCC;'><font color="#990000">%<nop>BR%</font></span>= to start a new line.
		* *Colored text:* Write: =<span style='background : #FFFFCC;'><font color="#990000"> %<nop>RED% Red %<nop>ENDCOLOR% and %<nop>BLUE% blue %<nop>ENDCOLOR% colors</font></span>= to get: %RED% Red %ENDCOLOR% and %BLUE% blue %ENDCOLOR% colors.
		* *Documentation Graphics:* Write: =<span style='background : #FFFFCC;'><font color="#990000"> %<nop>H% Help, %<nop>T% Tip, %<nop>X% Alert</font></span>= to get: %H% Help, %T% Tip, %X% Alert. For more info see TWikiDocGraphics.

	* There are many more variables, see *[[TWikiVariables]]*.

	* To "escape" a percent sign that would otherwise be interpreted as a variable, add =&lt;nop&gt;= after the first percent sign. Write: =<span style='background : #FFFFCC;'><font color="#990000"> %&lt;nop&gt;SOMEVARIABLE% </font></span>= to get: %<nop>SOMEVARIABLE%.

---++ <nop>TWikiPlugin Formatting Extensions

Plugins provide additional text formatting capabilities and can extend the functionality of %WIKITOOLNAME% into many other areas. For example, the optional [[http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/SpreadSheetPlugin][SpreadSheetPlugin]] lets you create a spreadsheet with the same basic notation used in TWiki tables.

Available Plugins are located in the [[http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins][Plugins]] web on TWiki.org. Currently enabled plugins on this TWiki installation, as listed by =%<nop>PLUGINDESCRIPTIONS%=:

%PLUGINDESCRIPTIONS%

Check on current Plugin status and settings for this site in TWikiPreferences.


---++ Common Editing Errors

TWiki formatting rules are fairly simple to use and quick to type. However, there are some things to watch out for, taken from the TextFormattingFAQ:

	* *Q:* Text enclosed in angle brackets like =&lt;filename&gt;= is not displayed. How can I show it as it is?
		* *A:* The ='&lt;'= and ='&gt;'= characters have a special meaning in HTML, they define HTML tags. You need to escape them, so write ='&amp;lt;'= instead of ='&lt;'=, and ='&amp;gt;'= instead of ='&gt;'=. <br /> Example: Type ='prog &amp;lt;filename&amp;gt;'= to get ='prog &lt;filename&gt;'=.

	* *Q:* Why is the ='&'= character sometimes not displayed?
		* *A:* The ='&'= character has a special meaning in HTML, it starts a so called character entity, i.e. ='&amp;copy;'= is the =&copy;= copyright character. You need to escape ='&amp;'= to see it as it is, so write ='&amp;amp;'= instead of ='&amp;'=. <br /> Example: Type ='This &amp;amp; that'= to get ='This &amp; that'=.

 <nop>CapitalizedWordsStuckTogether (or WikiWords) will produce a link automatically. <br> __Note:__ In case you want to link to a topic in a different %WIKITOOLNAME% web write =Webname.TopicName=.

 *Forced Links:* <br>
 You can create a forced internal link by enclosing words in double square brackets. <br> __Note:__ Text within the brackets may contain optional spaces; the topic name is formed by capitalizing the initial letter and by removing the spaces; i.e. =[<nop>[text formatting FAQ]]= links to topic TextFormattingFAQ.

 *Specific Links:* <br>
 Create a link where you can specify the link text and the link reference separately, using nested square brackets like =[<nop>[reference][text]]=. Internal link references (i.e. WikiSyntax) and external link references (i.e. http://TWiki.org/) are supported. The same __Forced Links__ rules apply for internal link references. Anchor names can be added as well, like =[<nop>[WebHome#MyAnchor][go home]]= and =[<nop>[http://www.yahoo.com/#somewhere][Yahoo!]]=.

 *Easier External Links:* <br>
 An easier syntax for external links is now available: =[<nop>[externalURL text]]= - just hit the spacebar to separate the link URL from the descriptive text, e.g. =[<nop>[http://gnu.org/ GNU]]=. This also supports anchors, e.g. =[<nop>[http://www.yahoo.com/#somewhere Yahoo!]]=.

 You can disable automatic linking of WikiWords by surrounding text with =&lt;noautolink&gt;= and =&lt;/noautolink&gt;= tags. %BR% __Note:__ Each tag must be on a line by itself.%BR% __Note:__ This also works for TWiki tables, but only if you add a blank line between the end of the table and the closing =&lt;/noautolink&gt;= tag (known issue of the TablePlugin).

	* TWikiPreferences defines site-wide variables like colors. For example, write: =<span style='background : #FFFFCC;'><font color="#990000"> %<nop>RED% Red %<nop>ENDCOLOR% and %<nop>BLUE% blue %<nop>ENDCOLOR% colors</font></span>= to get: %RED% Red %ENDCOLOR% and %BLUE% blue %ENDCOLOR% colors.

 At least three dashes at the beginning of a line, followed by plus signs and the heading text. One plus creates a level 1 heading (most important), two pluses a level 2 heading; the maximum is level 6. __Note:__ A Table of Content can be created automatically with the =%<nop>TOC%= variable, see TWikiVariables.

You can use just about any HTML tag without a problem - however, to keep in mind:

		* __NOTE:__ TWiki converts shorthand notation to XHTML 1.0 for display. To copy a fully marked-up page, simply view source in your browser and save the contents.
		* __NOTE:__ The standard installation TWiki is compatible across a wide range of browsers and computer platforms. If this is important to you, remember that using browser-specific tags or any other mark-up that doesn't degrade well will reduce compatibility.

---++ TWiki Variables

Variables are names that are enclosed in percent signs =%= that are expanded on the fly.

	* =%<nop>TOC%= : Automatically generates a table of contents based on headings in a topic - see the top of this page for an example.

	* =%<nop>WEB%= : The current web, is <b>%WEB%</b>.

	* =%<nop>TOPIC%= : The current topic name, is <b>%TOPIC%</b>.

	* =%<nop>ATTACHURL%= : The attachment URL of the current topic. Example usage: If you attach a file to a topic you can refer to it as =<b>%<nop>ATTACHURL%/image.gif</b>= to show the URL of the file or the image in your text.

	* =%<nop>INCLUDE{"SomeTopic"}%= : Server side include, includes another topic. The current %WIKITOOLNAME% web is the default web. Example: =<b>%<nop>INCLUDE{"%TWIKIWEB%.TWikiWebsTable"}%</b>=

	* There are many more variables, see *[[TWikiVariables]]*.

---++ Common Editing Errors

TWiki formatting rules are fairly simple to use and quick to type. However, there are some things to watch out for, taken from the TextFormattingFAQ:

	* *Q:* Text enclosed in angle brackets like =&lt;filename&gt;= is not displayed. How can I show it as it is?
		* *A:* The ='&lt;'= and ='&gt;'= characters have a special meaning in HTML, they define HTML tags. You need to escape them, so write ='&amp;lt;'= instead of ='&lt;'=, and ='&amp;gt;'= instead of ='&gt;'=. <br> Example: Type ='prog &amp;lt;filename&amp;gt;'= to get ='prog &lt;filename&gt;'=.

	* *Q:* Why is the ='&amp;'= character sometimes not displayed?
		* *A:* The ='&amp;'= character has a special meaning in HTML, it starts a so called character entity, ex: ='&amp;copy;'= is the =&copy;= copyright character. You need to escape ='&amp;'= to see it as it is, so write ='&amp;amp;'= instead of ='&amp;'=. <br> Example: Type ='This &amp;amp; that'= to get ='This &amp; that'=.

	* <NOP>CapitalizedWordsStuckTogether (or WikiWords) will produce a link automatically. In case you want to link to a topic in a different %WIKITOOLNAME% web write =Web.TopicName=, i.e. write =Know.ReadmeFirst= to link to Know.ReadmeFirst located in the Know web.
	* You can create a forced internal link by enclosing words in double square brackets, i.e. write =[<nop>[text formatting FAQ]]= to get [[text formatting FAQ]] that links to topic TextFormattingFAQ. Text within the brackets may contain optional spaces; the topic name is formed by capitalizing the initial letter and by removing the spaces. You can also refer to a different web, i.e. =[<nop>[%MAINWEB%.TWiki users]]= points to %MAINWEB%.TWikiUsers in the %MAINWEB% web. 
	* Blank lines will create new paragraphs. 
	* Words get *bold* by enclosing them in <b>*</b> asterisks
	* Words get _italic_ by enclosing them in <b>_</b> underscores
	* Words get __bold italic__ by enclosing them in <b>__</b> double-underscores
	* Words get shown in =fixed font= by enclosing them in <b>=</b> equal signs
	* Words get shown in ==bold fixed font== by enclosing them in <b>==</b> double equal signs
	* Note for *bold* , _italic_ , __bold italic__ and =fixed font= text:
		* Make sure to "stick" the =* _ == signs to the characters, e.g.
			* _This works_ 
			* _This does not get italic because there is a space between the last word and the underline character _
		* Example text to enter:
			* Writing <nop>*bold text* , <nop>_italic text_ and <nop>=fixed== monospaced text
		* Example text gets rendered as:
			* Writing *bold text* , _italic text_ and =fixed== monospaced text
	* Separator: at least four dashes at the beginning of a line: &lt;--------&gt;
	* List Item: 3 spaces and an asterisk: &lt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*&gt;
	* Nested Item: 6 spaces and an asterisk:  &lt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*&gt;
	* Ordered List: 3 spaces and a number: &lt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1&gt;
	* Definition:  3 spaces, the term, a colon, followed by the definition: &lt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;term:&nbsp;definition&gt; <br>
	  Note that terms with spaces are not supported. In case you do have a term with more then one word, separate the words with dashes or with the non-breaking-space entity, i.e. write =Character&amp;nbsp;Set:= to get =Character&nbsp;Set:=.
	* Table: Optional spaces followed by the cells enclosed in vertical bars: &lt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;|&nbsp;cell&nbsp;1&nbsp;|&nbsp;cell&nbsp;2&nbsp;|&nbsp;cell&nbsp;3&nbsp;|&nbsp;...&nbsp;|&gt;

It is easy to collaborate, just type your text. You don't need to know HTML at all, though you can use it if you prefer. Links to topics will be created automatically as long as you follow these simple Text Formatting Rules. TextFormattingFAQ has answers to frequently asked questions about text formatting.

	* NotExistingYet is a topic waiting to be written. You could create that topic by clicking on the question mark. (Do not create that topic, you would wreck this example!)
