Quick Reference

Here is some basic wiki syntax to help you format your pages. For more details, see Wikidot's documentation.

Headings

+ Level 1 Heading
++ Level 2 Heading
+++ Level 3 Heading

In-line Text Formatting

//Italic// = Italic
**Bold** = Bold
__Underline__ = Underline
--Strikethrough-- = Strikethrough
^^Superscript^^ = ^Superscript
,,Subscript,, = _Subscript
##blue|predefined color## = predefined color
##aa11bb|custom color## = custom color

These formatting styles can be combined by "nesting" the syntax tags inside each other:

//**Italic and Bold**// = Italic and Bold
__--^^Underline, Strikethrough, and Superscript^^--__ = ^{Underline, Strikethrough, and Superscript}

Paragraph Formatting

* Bullet list items
# Numbered list Items
> Blockquoted text
= Line is centered

Collapsible Content

One way to handle "spoilers" or content you want to hide from being immediately seen is a collapsible block (another method is spoiler tags, below). To create a collapsible block, wrap it between "collapsible" tags, like so:

[[collapsible show="+ Show This Content" hide="- Hide This Content"]]
This is the content to be shown/hidden.
[[/collapsible]]

The content is hidden by default, with only the text that you put in the "show" field visible. Clicking that text will reveal the content, at which point the clickable text changes to what you put in the "hide" field. Clicking it again will once again hide the collapsible content.

+ Show This Content

This is the content to be shown/hidden.

You can put as much or as little content as you like in a collapsible block.

Custom Tools

There are a few special bits of markup (the "code" used to make things happen on a wiki) we have here. You can copy/paste any of these into your page.

RelationshipBox

To add relationships to your character profile, insert the following markup:

[[include RelationshipBox | setting= | page=
| Name= | Title=
| Relationship=
]]

• setting: This is the category for the particular game setting (e.g. cybergeneration, deadlands, star-wars). Remember to use lowercase and hyphens for spaces.
• page: This field refers to the individual page name for the character profile you want to refer to (e.g. john-silverhand, bat-masterson, luke-skywalker). Remember to use lowercase and hyphens for spaces.
• Name: The character name you wish to appear in the RelationshipBox. This does not have to match the page field.
• Title: A special title or epithet. Usually refers to what type of relationship exists between the characters.
• Relationship: A more detailed description of the referenced character and/or the relationship with them.

If the icons for the setting uses transparent PNG files instead of the typical JPGs, replace "RelationshipBox" with "RelationshipBox-PNG".

RelationshipList

This markup will auto-generate a list of RelationshipBoxes for pages with certain tags.

[[include RelationshipList tags= | Select (hyphen) only one of the following: | use JPG= | usePNG=]]

• tags: List the tags you wish to use to filter the character profiles being called as RelationshipBoxes. The character tag is automatically used and does not need to be added. Remember to use negative tags to exclude any necessary pages.
• useJPG and usePNG: Select only one of these by inserting a hyphen into the field. Only choose usePNG if the icons for the setting use transparent PNG files.

Spoilers

It is possible to hide "spoilers", blacking out the text until it is moused over, like so: Hey, no peeking!

This is achieved by wrapping the text between one of two types of tags, and assigning a special "spoiler" class to them. The two types of tags are "span" or "div". Use span for text that exists within or on the same line as other, unhidden text, such as the example above. Whereas "div" is used to contain an entire block of text and other content.

Examples:

This…

This text is visible. [[span class="spoiler"]]This text is hidden.[[/span]]

…will look like this:

This text is visible. This text is hidden.

Also, this…

[[div class="spoiler" style="width:200px; padding:5px;"]]
Everything between the div tags will be hidden.

Even multiple paragraphs.
[[/div]]

…will look like this:

Everything between the div tags will be hidden.

Even multiple paragraphs.

ImageBox

This is an easy way to include an image within the content of your page.

[[include ImageBox
| image=
| float=
| width=
| caption=
]]
