Hyperlinks
Links can also be direct URLs starting with http://, ftp://, mailto:, https://, or news:. These link points to an external entity.
For example, to point to the official Sun Java homepage, use [http://java.sun.com], which is changed to http://java.sun.com/
or [Java home page|http://java.sun.com], and then is changed to Java home page.
or [Java home page|http://java.sun.com], and then is changed to Java home page. | System administrators can also allow custom schemes and custom URL formats by configuring it: Application Configuration |
Preformatted Text
To add pre-formatted text (like code), use three consecutive braces ({) to open a block, and three consecutive braces (}) to close a block.
Quotes
If you want to quote some text (for example, a previous comment written by someone else), add a greater sign (>) in front of that text.
>> This is a very old comment.
> This is a question that I quote.
And this is my answer.
> This is a question that I quote.
And this is my answer.
This is a very old comment.
This is a question that I quote.
And this is my answer.
Comments
You can use ';:' to add a short comment to other people's text by including an empty 'term' in the definition, as shown next:
;:''Comment here.''
This will result in the following:
Comment here.
