WikiFormatting

@@ -5 +5 @@
 
 Trac has a built in small and powerful wiki rendering engine. This wiki engine implements an ever growing subset of the commands from other popular Wikis,
-especially [http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/ MoinMoin]. 
-
-
-This page demonstrates the formatting syntax available anywhere WikiFormatting is allowed.
+especially [http://moinmo.in/ MoinMoin] and [trac:WikiCreole].
+
+
+This page will give you an in-depth explanation of the wiki markup available anywhere WikiFormatting is allowed.
+
+The ''Cheat sheet'' below gives you a quick overview for the most common syntax, each link in the ''Category'' column will lead you to the more detailed explanation later in this page.
+
+A few other wiki pages present the advanced features of the Trac wiki markup in more depth: 
+ - TracLinks covers all the possible ways to refer precisely to any Trac resource or parts thereof,
+ - WikiPageNames talks about the various names a wiki page can take, CamelCase or not
+ - WikiMacros lists the macros available for generating dynamic content,
+ - WikiProcessors and WikiHtml details how parts of the wiki text can be processed in special ways

 Notes:
  * `{{{...}}}` and {{{`...`}}} commands not only select a monospace font, but also treat their content as verbatim text, meaning that no further wiki processing is done on this text.
  * {{{ ! }}} tells wiki parser to not take the following characters as wiki format, so pay attention to put a space after !, e.g. when ending bold.
+ * all the font styles marks have to be used in opening/closing pairs, 
+   and they must nest properly (in particular, an `''` italic can't be paired 
+   with a `//` one, and `'''` can't be paired with `**`)
+
 
 == Headings ==
 
-You can create heading by starting a line with one up to five ''equal'' characters ("=")
-followed by a single space and the headline text. The line should end with a space 
-followed by the same number of ''='' characters.
-The heading might optionally be followed by an explicit id. If not, an implicit but nevertheless readable id will be generated.
+You can create heading by starting a line with one up to six ''equal'' characters ("=")
+followed by a single space and the headline text. 
+
+[=#hn]
+The headline text can be followed by the same number of "=" characters, but this is no longer mandatory.
+
+Finally, the heading might optionally be followed by an explicit id. If not, an implicit but nevertheless readable id will be generated.

+
+== Paragraphs ==
+
+A new text paragraph is created whenever two blocks of text are separated by one or more empty lines.
+
+A forced line break can also be inserted, using:

 == Tables ==
-
+=== Simple Tables ===
 Simple tables can be created like this:
-{{{
+||= Wiki Markup =||= Display =||
+{{{#!td
+  {{{
+  ||Cell 1||Cell 2||Cell 3||
+  ||Cell 4||Cell 5||Cell 6||
+  }}}
+}}}
+{{{#!td style="padding: 2em;"
 ||Cell 1||Cell 2||Cell 3||
 ||Cell 4||Cell 5||Cell 6||
 }}}
 
-Display:
-||Cell 1||Cell 2||Cell 3||
-||Cell 4||Cell 5||Cell 6||
-
-Note that more complex tables can be created using
-[wiki:WikiRestructuredText#BiggerReSTExample reStructuredText].
+Cell headings can be specified by wrapping the content in a pair of '=' characters.
+Note that the '=' characters have to stick to the cell separators, like this:
+||= Wiki Markup =||= Display =||
+{{{#!td
+  {{{
+  ||        ||= stable =||= latest =||
+  ||= 0.10 =||  0.10.5  || 0.10.6dev||
+  ||= 0.11 =||  0.11.6  || 0.11.7dev||
+  }}}
+}}}
+{{{#!td style="padding: 2em;"
+||        ||= stable =||= latest =||
+||= 0.10 =||  0.10.5  || 0.10.6dev||
+||= 0.11 =||  0.11.6  || 0.11.7dev||
+}}}
+
+Finally, specifying an empty cell means that the next non empty cell will span the empty cells. For example:
+||= Wiki Markup =||= Display =||
+{{{#!td
+  {{{
+  || 1 || 2 || 3 ||
+  |||| 1-2 || 3 ||
+  || 1 |||| 2-3 ||
+  |||||| 1-2-3 ||
+  }}}
+}}}
+{{{#!td style="padding: 2em;"
+|| 1 || 2 || 3 ||
+|||| 1-2 || 3 ||
+|| 1 |||| 2-3 ||
+|||||| 1-2-3 ||
+}}}
+
+Note that if the content of a cell "sticks" to one side of the cell and only one, then the text will be aligned on that side. Example:
+||= Wiki Markup =||= Display =||
+{{{#!td
+  {{{
+  ||=Text =||= Numbers =||
+  ||left align    ||        1.0||
+  ||  center      ||        4.5||
+  ||      right align||     4.5||
+  || default alignment ||   2.5||
+  ||default||         2.5||
+  ||  default ||      2.5||
+  || default ||       2.5||
+  }}}
+}}}
+{{{#!td style="padding: 2em;"
+||=Text =||= Numbers =||
+||left align    ||        1.0||
+||  center      ||        4.5||
+||      right align||     4.5||
+|| default alignment ||   2.5||
+||default||         2.5||
+||  default ||      2.5||
+|| default ||       2.5||
+}}}
+
+If contrary to the example above, the cells in your table contain more text, it might be convenient to spread a table row over multiple lines of markup. The `\` character placed at the end of a line after a cell separator tells Trac to not start a new row for the cells on the next line.
+
+||= Wiki Markup =||
+{{{#!td
+  {{{
+  || this is column 1 [http://trac.edgewall.org/newticket new ticket] || \
+  || this is column 2 [http://trac.edgewall.org/roadmap the road ahead] || \

+}}}

+If the possibilities offered by the simple "pipe"-based markup for tables described above are not enough for your needs, you can create more elaborated tables by using [#Processors-example-tables WikiProcessor based tables].

 Hyperlinks are automatically created for WikiPageNames and URLs. !WikiPageLinks can be disabled by prepending an exclamation mark "!" character, such as {{{!WikiPageLink}}}.

-Links can be given a more descriptive title by writing the link followed by a space and a title and all this inside square brackets.

+'''Note''': the [trac:WikiCreole] style for links is quick to type and
+certainly looks familiar as it's the one used on Wikipedia and in many

+So in the rare case when you need to refer to a page which is named after
+a macro (typical examples being TitleIndex, InterTrac and InterWiki), 
+by writing `[[TitleIndex]]` you will actually call the macro instead of linking
+to the page.

+
+== Setting Anchors ==
+
+An anchor, or more correctly speaking, an [http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/links.html#h-12.2.1 anchor name] can be added explicitly at any place in the Wiki page, in order to uniquely identify a position in the document:
+
+{{{
+[=#point1]
+}}}
+
+This syntax was chosen to match the format for explicitly naming the header id [#Headings documented above]. For example:
+{{{
+== Long title == #title
+}}}
+
+It's also very close to the syntax for the corresponding link to that anchor:
+{{{
+[#point1]
+}}}
+
+Optionally, a label can be given to the anchor:
+{{{
+[[=#point1 '''Point 1''']]
+}}}

+}}}
+{{{#!td
+  [#point2 jump to the second point]
+
+  ...
+
+  Point2:  [=#point2] Jump here
+}}}
+
+For more complex anchors (e.g. when a custom title is wanted), one can use the Span macro, e.g. `[[span(id=point2, class=wikianchor, title=Point 2, ^(2)^)]]`.
