Internal linking

Becomes a link to the Main Page of this Wiki.


[[MPC|Musepack]]

Becomes a link to the MPC page but Musepack is written instead like this: Musepack


A postfix added right after a normal internal link is added to the written word in the final document, but links to the page without the postfix.

[[Critical band]]s

Becomes: Critical bands


Linking to a headline at a wiki page.

You can link to a headline on another wiki page.

[[AAC#What's the best AAC encoder?]]

Becomes at link to the headline "What's the best AAC encoder?" at the AAC page like this: AAC#What's the best AAC encoder?


You can also replace the text written on the final page.

[[AAC#What's the best AAC encoder?|Read about the best AAC encoder]]

Becomes: Read about the best AAC encoder


External linking

Remember to start with "http://".


Bare URL
http://www.rarewares.org/

Becomes http://www.rarewares.org/


Named link
[http://www.rarewares.org/ The best audio resource on the net]

Becomes The best audio resource on the net


Lists

Bullet lists

You can make bullet lists with "*".

* First level list object
** Second level list object
*** Third level list object
* Another first level list object
  • First level list object
    • Second level list object
      • Third level list object
  • Another first level list object


Numbered lists

You can make numbered lists with "#".

# First level list object
## Second level list object
### Third level list object
# Another first level list object
  1. First level list object

      • like this


Definition lists

;item
: the item's definition
item
the item's definition


Images

You can insert images using the syntax:

[[Image:filename|options|caption text]]

The last item added will always be considered the caption text.


Stand alone image

[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png]]


Stand alone image with alt-text

You add "|caption text" after the image link. This is the text most browsers will show when you hover over the image with the mouse.

[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png|The HA logo]]

The HA logo


Image options

The HA logo
thumbnail, thumb
Generates an automatically resized thumbnail image (either reduced or enlarged).
Caption text is displayed directly underneath. An "enlarge"-icon is added.
If you do not specify where the image should be place it will be places to the right.
Example to the right (in this example the image is enlarged because it is small):
[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png|thumb|The HA logo]]


right
Makes the image right-aligned.


left
Same as above, but left aligned.


center
Same as above, but centered.


none
The image will be rendered inline, even if the thumbnail-option is set.


The HA logo
frame
The image will have a frame, regardless of whether it is a thumb, and the caption text will be included as a visible caption.
Example to the right:


sizepx
Renders a version of the image that's [size] pixels wide (e.g. '150px').
Height is computed to keep the aspect ratio (i.e. the shape of the image).
This allows both size reduction and enlargement.


Combining options
You can combine the options as you like. Example (as you see below resizing is often not very good):
[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png|50px|left|none|The HA logo]]
The HA logo
The HA logo


[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png|none|frame|The HA logo]]

Additional hints

You can avoid that the wiki system proccessing the text (to avoid unwanted formatting) by putting <nowiki></nowiki> around the text you want to parse directly.
