This is a guide to Bryan Lawrence's modified wiki format designated "wikiBNL".

Syntax supported includes:

• Links (local, and external, labelled or otherwise, including images)
• Lists (obviously), including bulleted and enumerated (to four deep)
• Tables
• Highlighting, Italics, Math mode (simple and latex if available)
• Code Higlighting (where source-highlight is also available)
• Preformatted Text and Blockquoting
• Footnotes are supported too ¹.

Note that both [ and * can be escaped by using a \ before the [ or *. (Sometimes you'll also need to escape the return ],e.g. in a footnote), but generally not).

Paragraphs are delineated by a blank line.

Links

• Simple local links are done with [WikiFormat] to give you WikiFormat.
• Local links can be renamed using [:WikiFormat local wiki instructions] to give local wiki instructions.
• Remote Links are simply [http:blah] or [http:blah with local label].
• Images are included by using

  

Bold and Italic Text

You can easily produce bold and italic text using *bold* and a pair of single quotes either side of the required text, e.g.

     You can easily produce *bold* and ''italic''

Preformatted Text and Blockquotes

For preformatted text, simply surround your material with [pre and pre] each on their own lines, without following spaces befor the carriage returns, to get [pre exactly [&<what you typed pre]

For Blockquotes, begin the material with a colon in the first column, followed by a space, to get

Lists

    • go
      • four deep

Numbered too!

      1. be numbered
         1. four deep, and even include preformatted material:

                0 something
                00 can
                000 be numbered
                0000 four deep
            

Image Support

Syntax for adding images is:

      [image: static/flag.gif]  

resulting in

Or alternatively

      [image: static/NotHereYet.jpg picture]

produces

Maths Mode

There are two forms of math mode supported, simple, for inline greek and super and subscripts (e.g. α² = β³ ₂, or CO₂). This is done using a simple [m: \alpha^2 = \beta^3 _2] syntax.

More complicated expressions can be constructed using the latex syntax if latex is available on your server. The following syntax:

    [embed latex
    \int \frac{\partial y}{\partial x}\,\partial z =  
    b*C\frac{1}{2}
    embed]

results in

Embedding Code

Code can be highlighted and optionally numbered, using the source-highlight software if that is available on your server.

   def example(argument):
       ''' commment string '''
       r=remote(argument)
       if r: return 'string'
       return 'another string'

***
highlight file error
***

was done with

[embed code python
... 
embed]

You can access the source-highlight command line to number lines in python too with

[embed code python -n
...
embed]

to get this sort of thing:

def routine:
   ''' starting comment '''
   pass

highlight file error
