<p>This page provides a more complete list of some of the markup sequences available in <span class="wikiword"><a class='wikilink' href='https://wiki.coolcleveland.com/wiki/PmWiki/PmWiki'>Pm Wiki</a></span>.
Note that it's easy to create and edit pages without using any of the markups below, but <em>if</em> you ever need them, they're here.
</p>
<p class='vspace'>To experiment with the rules, please edit the <a class='createlinktext' rel='nofollow'
href='https://wiki.coolcleveland.com/wiki/Main/Wiki?action=edit'>Sandbox</a><a rel='nofollow'

</p><hr />
<div class='vspace'></div><h2><a name='Paragraphs' id='Paragraphs'></a> Paragraphs</h2>
<p>To create paragraphs, simply enter text. Use a blank line to start a new paragraph.
</p>
<p class='vspace'>Words on two lines in a row will <strong>wrap and fill</strong> as needed (the normal XHTML behavior). To turn off the automatic filling, use the <code class='escaped'>(:linebreaks:)</code> directive above the paragraph.
</p>
<div class='vspace'></div><ul><li>Use <code class='escaped'>\</code> (single backslash) at the end of a line to join the current line to the next one.
</li><li>Use <code class='escaped'>\\</code> (two backslashes) at the end of a line to force a line break.
</li><li>Use <code class='escaped'>\\\</code> (three backslashes) at the end of a line to force 2 line breaks.
</li><li>Use <code class='escaped'>[[<<]]</code> to force a line break that will clear floating elements.
</li></ul><div class='vspace'></div><h2><a name='IndentedParagraphs' id='IndentedParagraphs'></a> Indented Paragraphs <em>(Quotes)</em></h2>
<p>Arrows (<code class='escaped'>-></code>) at the beginning of a paragraph can be used to produce an indented paragraph. More hyphens at the beginning (<code class='escaped'>---></code>) produce larger indents.
</p>
<div class='vspace'></div><table class='markup vert' align='center'>

</div>
</td></tr></table>
<p class='vspace'>Inverted Arrows (<code class='escaped'>-<</code>) at the beginning of a paragraph can be used to produce a paragraph with a hanging indent. Adding hyphens at the beginning (<code class='escaped'>---<</code>) causes all the text to indent.
</p>

</td></tr></table>
<p class='vspace'>Blocks of text to which <code class='escaped'>(:linebreaks:)</code> has been applied can be indented by preceding the first line of the block with indention arrows (<code class='escaped'>-></code>) and aligning subsequent lines under the first. An unindented line stops the block indentation. See <a class='urllink' href='http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/Markup' rel='nofollow'>Tricks</a> for an example.
</p>
<div class='vspace'></div><h2><a name='BulletedLists' id='BulletedLists'></a> Bulleted and Numbered Lists</h2>
<p>Bullet lists are made by placing asterisks at the beginning of the line. Numbered lists are made by placing number-signs (#) at the beginning of the line. More asterisks/number-signs increases the level of bullet:

</p><h2> Whitespace Rules</h2>
<p>Whitespace indentation in lists. Any line that begins with whitespace <em>and aligns</em> with a previous list item (whether bulleted, numbers or definitional) is considered to be "within" that list item. Text folds and wraps as normal, and the <code class='escaped'>(:linebreaks:)</code> directive is honored.

<div class='vspace'></div><table class='markup vert' align='center'>
<tr><td class='markup1' valign='top'><pre># First-level item\\

<p class='vspace'>This rule also apply on definition lists, but only the number of leading colons is significant for the following whitespace indented lines.

<p class='vspace'>Otherwise, lines that begin with whitespace are treated as <em>preformatted text</em>, using a monospace font and not generating linebreaks except where explicitly indicated in the markup. Note to administrators: Starting with version 2.2.0-beta41, this feature can be modified using <a class='varlink' href='https://wiki.coolcleveland.com/wiki/PmWiki/BasicVariables#EnableWSPre'><code class='varlink'>$EnableWSPre</code></a>. (Another way to create preformatted text blocks is by using the [@...@] markup.)
</p>
<div class='vspace'></div><h2><a name='HorizontalLine' id='HorizontalLine'></a> Horizontal Line</h2>
<p>Four or more dashes (----) at the beginning of a line produce a horizontal line.
</p>
<p class='vspace'><a name='Emphasis' id='Emphasis'></a>
</p><h2> Emphasis and character formatting</h2>
<ul><li>Enclose text in doubled single-quotes (''text''), i.e., <em>two apostrophes</em>, for emphasis (usually <em>italics</em>)
</li><li>Enclose text in tripled single-quotes ('''text'''), i.e. <em>three apostrophes</em>, for strong (usually <strong>bold</strong>)
</li><li>Enclose text in five single-quotes ('''''text'''''), or triples within doubles (<em>five apostrophes</em>), for strong emphasis (usually <strong><em>bold italics</em></strong>)
</li><li>Enclose text in doubled at-signs (@@text@@) for <code>monospace</code> text
</li><li>Use [+large+] for <span style='font-size:120%'>large</span> text, [++larger++] for <span style='font-size:144%'>larger</span>, [-small-] for <span style='font-size:83%'>small</span> text, and [--smaller--] for <span style='font-size:69%'>smaller</span>.
</li><li>Emphasis can be used multiple times within a line, but cannot span across markup line boundaries (i.e., you can't put a paragraph break in the middle of bold text).

</td></tr></table>
<p class='vspace'>Note that level 1 heading is already used as page title (at least in the <span class="wikiword">Pm Wiki</span> skin), so you should start with level 2 headings to create well formed, search engine optimized web pages.
</p>
<p class='vspace'>See <a class='urllink' href='http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/Numbered' rel='nofollow'>Headers</a> for numbered headings.
</p>
<p class='vspace'><a name='EscapeSequence' id='EscapeSequence'></a>
</p><h2>Escape sequence</h2>
<p>Anything placed between [= and =] is not interpreted by <span class="wikiword">Pm Wiki</span>, but paragraphs are reformatted. This makes it possible to turn off special formatting interpretations and neutralise WikiWords that are not links (even easier is to use a tick ` in front, like `WikiWord).
</p>
<p class='vspace'>For preformatted text blocks, use the [@...@] markup. It does neither reformat paragraphs nor process wiki markup:
</p>
<div class='vspace'></div><table class='markup vert' align='center'>
<tr><td class='markup1' valign='top'><pre>[@
Code goes here like [[PmWiki.PmWiki]]
'$CurrentTime $[by] $AuthorLink: [=$ChangeSummary=]'; #just some code
@]
</pre></td></tr><tr><td
class='markup2' valign='top'><pre class='escaped'>
Code goes here like [[PmWiki.PmWiki]]
'$CurrentTime $[by] $AuthorLink: [=$ChangeSummary=]'; #just some code
</pre>
</td></tr></table>
<p class='vspace'>The multiline <code>[@...@]</code> is a block markup, and in order to change the styling of these preformatted text blocks, you need to apply a "block" <span class="wikiword"><a class='createlinktext' rel='nofollow'
href='https://wiki.coolcleveland.com/wiki/PmWiki/WikiStyle?action=edit'>Wiki Style</a><a rel='nofollow'
class='createlink' href='https://wiki.coolcleveland.com/wiki/PmWiki/WikiStyle?action=edit'>?</a></span>.
</p>
<div class='vspace'></div><table class='markup vert' align='center'>
<tr><td class='markup1' valign='top'><pre>%block blue%[@
The font color of
this text is blue
@]</pre></td></tr><tr><td
class='markup2' valign='top'><pre style='color: blue;' class='escaped'>
The font color of
this text is blue
</pre>
</td></tr></table>
<p class='vspace'>It is also useful to use <code class='escaped'>[= =]</code> within other wiki structures, as this enables the inclusion of new lines in text values. The example below shows how to include a multi-line value in a hidden form field.
</p>
<div class='vspace'></div><div class='indent'><pre class='escaped'>(:input hidden message "[=Line1
Line2=]":)</pre>
</div><div class='vspace'></div><h2>Comments</h2>
<p><code class='escaped'> (:comment Some information:) </code> can be very kind to subsequent authors, especially around complicated bits of markup.
</p>
<p class='vspace'><a name='SpecialCharacters' id='SpecialCharacters'></a>
</p><h2> Special Characters</h2>
<p>When creating pages it's common to use commercial trademarks, copyright, umlaut, and other non-keyboard symbols. therefore it's important that you have the means to input these special characters.
</p>
<div class='vspace'></div><h3>ISO Standard codes</h3>
<p><span class="wikiword">Pm Wiki</span> supports the HTML special character listings by the w3c. <a class='urllink' href='http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html-spec/html-spec_13.html' rel='nofollow'>| W3C Page of Special Character codes ISO standard.</a>

<div class='vspace'></div><h3>Other ways to do it: </h3>
<h4>Character Map</h4>
<p>Find the "Character Map" utility in your computer's System Tools folder. Click the symbol you're interested in, and note the keystroke information at the bottom of the box. You execute these by <em>holding "Alt"</em> while keying the numbers <em>on the numerical keypad</em> of your keyboard (not the numbers across the top of the board).
</p>
<p class='vspace'>&#169; = Alt+0169 = © | &#174; = Alt+0174 = ® | &#176; = Alt+0176 = ° (degrees).
</p>
<div class='vspace'></div><h4>Paste</h4>
<ul><li>Use Word or another desktop application to create your text with the special characters that you want. Copy and paste the text to the wiki page you're editing or creating.
</li><li>Find an instance of a special character in an online document; copy and paste the character to your wiki page: �

</p><h2> Tables</h2>
<p><a class='wikilink' href='https://wiki.coolcleveland.com/wiki/PmWiki/Tables'>Tables</a> are defined by enclosing cells with '||'.
A cell with leading and trailing spaces is centered; a cell with leading spaces is right-aligned; all other cells are left-aligned. An empty cell will cause the previous cell to span multiple columns. (There is currently no mechanism for spanning multiple rows.) A line beginning with '||' specifies the table attributes for subsequent tables. A '!' as the first character in a cell provides emphasis that can be used to provide headings.
