Wiki syntax

This page describes the effects you can get by editing text on a Wiki page.

Syntax Effect
---- Creates a horizontal rule.
\\ Creates a line break.
[link] Creates a link to a new Wiki page called "link." If the link is a complete URL, a link to the URL is created. If the link points to a .gif, .jpg, or .png image, the image is rendered directly in the page.
[title|link] Creates a link to a new Wiki page called "link" with the text "title" displayed for the URL. If the link is a complete URL, a link to the URL is created. If the link points to a .gif, .jpg, or .png image, the image is rendered directly on the page with "title" as ALT text.
[WikiPageName/attachmentName] Embeds an attachment in the page. If the attachment is a .gif, .jpg, or .png image file, the attachment will be embedded in the page; otherwise, the name of the attachment will display as a downloadable link. After adding attachments, the exact syntax for including the current page's attachments is shown next to each attachment's name in the Attachments section of the Edit Wiki page. You can use the same syntax to embed attachments from other wiki pages in the same project.
