Front Page GoodStyle

This is a page taken from the original c2.com Wiki with some text formatting examples. Not everything may work since the LexiconWiki engine is similar but not the same for all features.

Click on EditText (it's ok to try, really! :) to see the formatting stuff, but please don't change the page - use WikiWikiSandbox? for testing these rules.


(Where <tab> denotes a tab character.)


two single quotes

now two single quotes and three single quotes (total of 5)

Bold text -- three single quotes

Bold italic text -- two plus three single quotes Quoted bold italic maybe?


two quotes -- Italic 2 plus

three quotes -- BOLD 3 equals

Italic Bold 5

'Trying four quotes'

'Trying many quotes'

Note that "mind your p's and q's" is awkward to produce.


SixSingleQuotes?: SixSingleQuotes or SixSingleQuotes

 monospace preformatted stuff begins with a space

Hello
 Hello Again

Horizontal line with front space:

 ---------
Horizontal lines without front space:



* An unnumbered list begins with an asterisk. * A list member ** Nested list members without tabs. *** You can now nest beyond four deep... **** ...although it becomes hard... ***** ...to read and edit.

  1. A numbered list, which starts with a tab and any digit, is automatically numbered.
  2. It is also called an ordered list.

  1. Also this way:
    1. Nested
    2. Nested too
    3. Yet one more
    4. And another one
    5. This is not another one
  2. But this one is

term
definition -- formed with Tab-Stuff-Colon-Tab
another term
and its buddy definition

This is a block quote. It looks like <TAB><SPACE>:<TAB>text. This is because it really is a term: definition block with the term being a <SPACE>.

<TAB><SPACE>:<TAB>text also seems to be the best format for poems (copy-and-paste from GreatPoemsList?):

William Shakespeare, The Tempest act IV scene 1.

Edit (but don't change, please) this page to see the formatting stuff.


'single quote' "double quote" 3 single quotes
If you indent your paragraph, it will be monospaced and won't line-wrap. This is a very common mistake, but trying to rectify it by inserting new lines into the paragraph doesn't work.

Example:

	Our [many] revels now are ended. These our actors,
	As I foretold you, were all spirits and
	Are melted into air, into thin air:
	And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,

The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on, and our little life Is rounded with a sleep.

Monospaced text is also handy for showing tables (since HtmlTables? are not supported). However, be wary of TabMunging?.
