This page shows a small number of commonly used, though somewhat more advanced, uniwiki styling commands. Edit this page to see the coded version. (It can help to open this page in two windows; one with the code.)

Lists and Indentation

• Lists are made with * or #
• The next line must follow with no blank lines
  • Use more * to indent
  • Good practice is to use a header to head a list

1. Use # for numbered lists
   1. Space the first line to start a new list if you do not head it
   2. Use more # to indent further
2. Note that numbered lists are indented to start

Use : to indent without a label

Templates

Icons have their own special codes. The first item is the icon name and must NOT be capitalized; second is the pixel size; last is the mouseover display.

Capacitor Management Links to skills also have a special code. It is easier to learn this linking method than to have to type a standard link each time you reference a skill.

These are called "templates". You can view a list of common UniWiki templates.

Emphasis

The div code pair is used to center text. Note that this is an operation, and not a built-in formatting command.

This is how you make colored text. The numbered code determines an HTML color. FFFFFF is white; 000000 is black; 888888 is middle grey. You can also use the CO Template which uses color words instead of HTML codes and also allows you to color the background.

This is a "hat note"; used for emphasis. Italics are automatic.

This is a "note box"; also used for emphasis. Italics are automatic

This is a color box. Color will be the background color; border will be the border color. You can put colored text in here, too.

Be very careful with colored text and boxes. Some colors are special for UniWiki - like links - and there is a general "style" used in UniWiki editing. It is a good idea to stick with UniWiki templates when you first start editing.

Images

default

The standard image appears on the right.

move to the left

center, smaller

Use |left| to put it on the left. Use |center| to center it. To change the size, use |upright=1.0| ... 1.0 will be standard, 2.0 will be bigger, 0.5 will be smaller.

Use the clear command to start the next text line AFTER the image.

Miscellaneous

Use break (br) to
split a line in two.

Tables are easier than they look. The basics are shown in the UniWiki Editing Guide. Details for more complex tables are at the WIKI help center.
