Advanced Wiki Syntax Examples

This is especially useful when you want to~hs~write a~hs~nicely formatted sentence with some date at~hs~the~hs~end of~hs~a~hs~line which will not break into parts after wrapping when resizing the~hs~viewport: 13th~hs~of~hs~December,~hs~2007.

||r1c1|r1c2%%% Here is my first line %%% Here is my second line %%% Here is my third line
r2c1|r2c2||

||r1c1|r1c2{HTML()}<ol><li>item1</li><li>item2</li><li>item3</li></ol>{HTML}
r2c1|r2c2||

||r1c1|r1c2 %ol(% %li(%item1 %)li% %li(%item2 %)li% %)ol%
r2c1|r2c2||

## Creating advanced tables

Would be nice to not have to resort to HTML when doing tables where you want to span columns or rows. Adding colspan/rowspan options and possibly also allowing individual cell alignment (vert and horiz) would be great. Even if this was relegated to something like FANCYTABLES, I'd be happy with it.

### SPLIT plugin work-around

Would have to edit the plugin and/or CSS if you want a border, though. 
<div class='table-responsive'><div><table class='table'><tr><td width="100">

r1c1 

r1c2

item1
item2
item3

r2c1 

r2c2 

## Numbered lists which continue after some line breaks

### Using + for item continuation

An alternative is to use **+** to continue numbering: 


<br /> 
Copy to clipboard
# Item 
# Item 
# Item 
+ Also,
# Item 
# Item
 
generates:


1. Item
2. Item
3. Item 
     Also,
4. Item
5. Item

## Using = with underline

=== is the syntax for underline.

This doesn't work: 


<br /> 
Copy to clipboard
=== 1+1 = 3 ===

workaround number 1 


<br /> 
Copy to clipboard
=== 1+1 ~61~ 3 ===

generates: 
<u>1+1 = 3</u>

workaround number 2 


<br /> 
Copy to clipboard
{TAG(tag=u)}1+1 = 3{TAG}

generates: 
<u>1+1 = 3</u>

## Allowing Formatting characters to span paragraphs

When you use :: or '' or similar formatting tags, at leat in 1.9 (haven't tried in 1.10) they don't get recognized. Instead you see the beginning characters, then the paragraph, then the paragraph space, then the continuation of the next paragraph ending with the closing characters.

''This doesn't 
work properly.'' 
*But this does.*

::Irritating when you want to center 
text across multiple lines without bracketing:: 

### Use %%% to break lines within formatting

For example:

*This does<br />work properly.*

## Wrap code Sections to Fit the Window

Not sure if this is something browser-specific or Tiki-specific (I think it's both), but when you put really long lines inside CODE blocks they tend to run off the right side of the page and completely mess up the pagescape. It would be nice, based on the size of the window (and therefore the size of the middle content box) to wrap the CODE text at the right margin of the middle box.

Having said that, when using CODE blocks on a printer-friendly page, they don't get wrapped there, even when you send it to the printer. I think that's a browser issue. But we should be able to address the wiki page issue?

**Solution is easy: use `wrap=1` parameter in CODE plugin**

##  How to display URL param in a page or the page name or the user name

You need to activate the **feature** '<a href="Wiki-Argument-Variables" title="Wiki Argument Variables" class="wiki wiki_page">Wiki Argument Variables</a>' on **Admin > Editing and Plugins** panel for Tiki >= 5. For Tiki version 4.x, you need to manually set the preference in the database as feature_wiki_argvariable.


-  Will display 5 if for instance the URL is <a target="_blank" class="wiki"  href="http://example.org/tiki-index.php?page=mypage&amp;itemId=5">http://example.org/tiki-index.php?page=mypage&amp;itemId=5</a>
-  will display default if itemId is not in the URL

2 special cases that are defined whatever is in the URL


- Advanced Wiki Syntax usage examples will display the name of the current page
-  will display the user name
