Antioch Forever

Page source:

=== Abstract === The Antioch Forever site is a wiki, similar to [http://www.wikipedia.org/ Wikipedia]. One of the major benefits of using a wiki is simple editing. You can edit a page without knowing HTML, but you can also use certain HTML tags if you want more control. To see how any page is formatted, just follow the "Edit" link at the bottom of the page. === Basic Text Formatting === Entering text in a wiki is similar to entering text in a forum. Some guidelines: *Carriage returns are significant in formatting a wiki page. *Leave a single blank line between paragraphs. *Multiple spaces and tabs are ignored. *Use <nowiki>'''</nowiki>'''for bold'''<nowiki>'''</nowiki>(3 apostrophes), <nowiki>''</nowiki>''for italics''<nowiki>''</nowiki> (2 apostrophes), or <nowiki>'''''</nowiki>'''''for both'''''<nowiki>'''''</nowiki> (5 apostrophes). *Use <nowiki>//</nowiki>//for titles//<nowiki>//</nowiki>. *Use <nowiki>`</nowiki>`for monospace text`<nowiki>`</nowiki>. *The first character entered on a line sometimes controls the formatting of the text on that line. Repetition of the first character on the line generally increases the indentation or emphasis. Some examples: **<tt>" "</tt>--Space causes text to appear in a `monospaced font where spaces are significant`. **<tt>":"</tt>--Colon causes text to be indented. **<tt>"*"</tt>--Asterisk creates a bulleted list. **<tt>"#"</tt>--Hash creates a numbered list. **<tt>";"</tt>--Semicolon creates a <i>definition</i> list, a `":"` colon is required subsequently on the same line. **<tt>"<nowiki>----</nowiki>"</tt>--Four or more hyphens creates a horizontal line. **<tt>"||"</tt>--Vertical bar creates a table. *Suppress wiki formatting and linking through escaped text--`<nowiki><nowiki></nowiki>`<nowiki>'''This text would normally be bold'''</nowiki>`<nowiki></nowiki></nowiki>` === Images === You can insert an image with the image tag. E.g., `<nowiki>[[Image:home/gopherdance.gif]]</nowiki>` produces: [[Image:home/gopherdance.gif]] You can also align the image or include alternate text. E.g., `<nowiki>[[Image:home/gopherdance.gif|center|Dancing gopher]]</nowiki>` produces: [[Image:home/gopherdance.gif|center|Dancing gopher]] === Linking === ==== Local Links ==== You can link to a page on the wiki by surrounding the page name with two square brackets; e.g., <nowiki>[[The Antioch Chronicles, Episode I Download]]</nowiki> produces [[The Antioch Chronicles, Episode I Download]]. Nonexistent pages--for example, [[The Antioch Chronicles, Episode III Download]]--will be displayed with edit icons after their names. Following the link lets you edit the page. The easiest way to create a new page is to simply link to it on another page and click it. You can link to {{filesdir|local files}} with a similar syntax: <nowiki>[[File:antioch/download/kcon.zip|The Korhal Connection]]</nowiki> produces [[File:antioch/download/kcon.zip|The Korhal Connection]]. ==== Remote Links ==== Plain link: http://www.campaigncreations.org/--<nowiki>http://www.campaigncreations.org/</nowiki> Named link: [http://www.blizzard.com/ Blizzard Entertainment]--<nowiki>[http://www.blizzard.com/ Blizzard Entertainment]</nowiki> Image link: [http://antioch.tech-base.com/ Image:links/antioch.png]--<nowiki>[http://antioch.tech-base.com/ Image:links/antioch.png]</nowiki> In nearly all cases, trailing punctuation is ignored (commas, parentheses, etc.), so you can safely make links, like http://www.battle.net/, without the trailing comma being part of the link. === Headings === There are four levels of headings. You can create headings by using an equals sign "=" as the first character on a line. Note a space must separate the heading text from the equals sign "=". For example, <pre>=== Section Heading 3 === ==== Section Heading 4 ==== ===== Section Heading 5 ===== ====== Section Heading 6 ======</pre> ...produces: === Section Heading 3 === ==== Section Heading 4 ==== ===== Section Heading 5 ===== ====== Section Heading 6 ====== You can automatically number headings by including a # before the text. For example, <pre>=== # Numbered Section Heading 3 === ==== # Numbered Section Heading 4 ==== ===== # Numbered Section Heading 5 ===== ====== # Numbered Section Heading 6 ======</pre> ...produces: === # Numbered Section Heading 3 === ==== # Numbered Section Heading 4 ==== ===== # Numbered Section Heading 5 ===== ====== # Numbered Section Heading 6 ====== === Lists === Simple lists: <pre>*Text for a bulleted list item. **Text for second-level list. ***Text for third level, etc.</pre> ...which looks like: *Text for a bulleted list item. **Text for second-level list. ***Text for third level, etc. Numbered lists: <pre>#Text for a numbered list item. ##Text for second-level list. ###Text for third level, etc. ##More text for the second level.</pre> ...which looks like: #Text for a numbered list item. ##Text for second-level list. ###Text for third level, etc. ##More text for the second level. === Definitions === Term with indented definition (without a blank line between term and definition): <pre>;Term:Definition (indented) ;;Term (indented):Definition (indented two levels) ;;;Term (indented twice):Definition (indented to third level)</pre> ...which looks like: ;Term:Definition (indented) ;;Term (indented):Definition (indented two levels) ;;;Term (indented twice):Definition (indented to third level) === Preformatted Text === Individual lines can be displayed as preformatted text (fixed-width or "typewriter" font) by placing one or more spaces at the start of the line. Other wiki formatting (like links) will be applied to this kind of preformatted text. Additionally, multi-line sections can be marked as pre-formatted text by surrounding text in `<nowiki><pre></nowiki>` and `<nowiki></pre></nowiki>`. Wiki links and other formatting are not done within a preformatted section. For instance: <pre>Pre-formatted section here. No other link =link= or format processing is done on pre-formatted sections. For instance, [[Antioch Forever]] is not a link here.</pre> and: This is the starting-spaces version of preformatted text. Note that links like [[The VSP]] still work. === Tables === Use `||` to make a regular column and `!!` to make a header. <pre>!!Column A!!Column B!!Column C!! ||Entry for row 1, Column A||Entry for row 1, Column B||Entry for row 1, Column C|| ||Entry for row 2, Column A||Entry for row 2, Column B||Entry for row 2, Column C|| ||Entry for row 3, Column A||Entry for row 3, Column B||Entry for row 3, Column C||</pre> ...produces: !!Column A!!Column B!!Column C!! ||Entry for row 1, Column A||Entry for row 1, Column B||Entry for row 1, Column C|| ||Entry for row 2, Column A||Entry for row 2, Column B||Entry for row 2, Column C|| ||Entry for row 3, Column A||Entry for row 3, Column B||Entry for row 3, Column C|| === Miscellaneous Rules === *To quote text without applying the wiki formatting rules, enclose it within a `<nowiki><nowiki></nowiki>` ... `<nowiki></nowiki></nowiki>` section. Within a nowiki section, only HTML-quoting of special characters (<, >, and &) will occur--no other formatting rules will be applied. *A line that ends in a backslash character (\) will be joined with the next line before most formatting rules are applied. This can be useful for breaking up long sections of text in line-sensitive sections (like lists or indented text). *Most of the formatting rules are order-independent. On rare occasions, the order of processing may be important. The rules are processed in the following order: raw HTML sections, HTML quoting, nowiki tags, backslash line joining, preformatted sections, paragraphs, lists and indented text, horizontal lines, italic/bold text, and URLs. === HTML === You can use HTML in pages. Here is a list of [[Special:allowed_html|Allowed HTML Tags]]. === Redirects === You can do redirects by making a page that consists solely of `#REDIRECT [[Name of Page]]`. E.g., to redirect [[Auspex]] to [[Auspex Turmalis]], use `#REDIRECT [[Auspex Turmalis]]`. === Boilerplates === A handful of text templates have shorthands of the form `<nowiki>{{templatename}}</nowiki>`. For example, adding `<nowiki>{{contents}}</nowiki>` to a page will produce: {{contents}} Here is a table of boilerplates: !!Boilerplate!!Function!! ||`<nowiki>{{antiochcopyright}}</nowiki>`||the [[Antioch]] copyright message|| ||`<nowiki>{{contents}}</nowiki>`||a table of contents (based on headings)|| ||`<nowiki>{{forumlink:### Link Title}}</nowiki>`||a link to a [[phpBB3]] forum thread|| ||`<nowiki>{{htmlpairs}}</nowiki>`||a list of allowed paired HTML tags|| ||`<nowiki>{{htmlsingle}}</nowiki>`||a list of allowed single HTML tags|| ||`<nowiki>{{nav:prev=Page Name|Label:next=Page Name|Label}}</nowiki>`||page navigation footer|| ||`<nowiki>{{oldforumlink:### Link Title}}</nowiki>`||a link to a [[phpBB2]] forum thread|| ||`<nowiki>{{portrait:Short Name|Long Name}}</nowiki>`||a user portrait|| ||`<nowiki>{{post:Date|User Name}}</nowiki>`||a nice "posted by" box|| ||`<nowiki>{{recentchanges}}</nowiki>`||the [[Recent Changes]] table|| ||`<nowiki>{{recentforumposts}}</nowiki>`||the [[Home|Recent Forum Posts]] table|| ||`<nowiki>{{searchform}}</nowiki>`||a search form|| ||`<nowiki>{{searchfull}}</nowiki>`||a bigger search form|| ||`<nowiki>{{searchgoogle}}</nowiki>`||a Google search form|| ||`<nowiki>{{uploadform|Link Title}}</nowiki>`||link to the {{uploadform|upload form}}|| ||`<nowiki>{{wrongtitle:Correct Title}}</nowiki>`||the template for pages with incorrect names||
