DokuWiki supports a simple syntax to create tables.
Heading 1 | Heading 2 | Heading 3 |
---|---|---|
Row 1 Col 1 | Row 1 Col 2 | Row 1 Col 3 |
Row 2 Col 1 | some colspan (note the double pipe) | |
Row 3 Col 1 | Row 2 Col 2 | Row 2 Col 3 |
Table rows have to start and end with a |
for normal rows or a ^
for headers.
^ Heading 1 ^ Heading 2 ^ Heading 3 ^ | Row 1 Col 1 | Row 1 Col 2 | Row 1 Col 3 | | Row 2 Col 1 | some colspan (note the double pipe) || | Row 3 Col 1 | Row 2 Col 2 | Row 2 Col 3 |
To connect cells horizontally, just make the next cell completely empty as shown above. Be sure to have always the same amount of cell separators!
Vertical tableheaders are possible, too.
Heading 1 | Heading 2 | |
---|---|---|
Heading 3 | Row 1 Col 2 | Row 1 Col 3 |
Heading 4 | no colspan this time | |
Heading 5 | Row 2 Col 2 | Row 2 Col 3 |
As you can see, it's the cell separator before a cell which decides about the formatting:
| ^ Heading 1 ^ Heading 2 ^ ^ Heading 3 | Row 1 Col 2 | Row 1 Col 3 | ^ Heading 4 | no colspan this time | | ^ Heading 5 | Row 2 Col 2 | Row 2 Col 3 |
Note: Vertical spans (rowspan) are not possible.
You can align the table contents, too. Just add at least two whitespaces at the opposite end of your text: Add two spaces on the left to align right, two spaces on the right to align left and two spaces at least at both ends for centered text.
Table with alignment | ||
---|---|---|
right | center | left |
left | right | center |
xxxxxxxxxxxx | xxxxxxxxxxxx | xxxxxxxxxxxx |
This is how it looks in the source:
^ Table with alignment ^^^ | right| center |left | |left | right| center | | xxxxxxxxxxxx | xxxxxxxxxxxx | xxxxxxxxxxxx |
You can include non-parsed blocks into your documents by either indenting them by at least two spaces (like used for the previous examples) or by using the tags code
or file
.
This is preformatted code all spaces are preserved: like <-this
This is pretty much the same, but you could use it to show that you quoted a file.
To let the parser ignore an area completely (ie. do no formatting on it), enclose the area either with nowiki
tags or even simpler, with double percent signs %%
.
This is some text which contains addresses like this: http://www.splitbrain.org and **formatting**, but nothing is done with it.
See the source of this page to see how to use these blocks.
DokuWiki can highlight sourcecode, which makes it easier to read. It uses the GeSHi Generic Syntax Highlighter – so any language supported by GeSHi is supported. The syntax is the same like in the code block in the previous section, but this time the name of the used language is inserted inside the tag. Eg. <code java>
.
/** * The HelloWorldApp class implements an application that * simply displays "Hello World!" to the standard output. */ class HelloWorldApp { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello World!"); //Display the string. } }
The following language strings are currently recognized: abap actionscript-french, actionscript, ada, apache, applescript, asm, asp, autoit, bash, basic4gl, blitzbasic, bnf, caddcl, cadlisp, cfdg, cfm, c_mac, c, cpp, cpp-qt, csharp, css, delphi, diff, div, dos, dot, d, eiffel, fortran, freebasic, genero, gml, groovy, haskell, html, idl, ini, inno, io, java5, java, javascript, latex, lisp, lua, m68k, matlab, mirc, mpasm, mysql, nsis, objc, ocaml-brief, ocaml, oobas, oracle8, pascal, perl, per, php-brief, php, plsql, python, qbasic, rails, reg, robots, ruby, sas, scheme, sdlbasic, smalltalk, smarty, sql, tcl, text, thinbasic, tsql, vbnet, vb, vhdl, visualfoxpro, winbatch, xml, xpp, z80
DokuWiki can integrate data from external XML feeds. For parsing the XML feeds, SimplePie is used. All formats understood by SimplePie can be used in DokuWiki as well. You can influence the rendering by multiple additional space separated parameters:
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
any number | will be used as maximum number items to show, defaults to 8 |
reverse | display the last items in the feed first |
author | show item authors names |
date | show item dates |
description | show the item description. If HTML is disabled all tags will be stripped |
n[dhm] | refresh period, where d=days, h=hours, m=minutes. (e.g. 12h = 12 hours). |
The refresh period defaults to 4 hours. Any value below 10 minutes will be treated as 10 minutes. DokuWiki will generally try to supply a cached version of a page, obviously this is inappropriate when the page contains dynamic external content. The parameter tells DokuWiki to re-render the page if it is more than refresh period since the page was last rendered.
Example:
{{rss>http://slashdot.org/index.rss 5 author date 1h }}
You can embed raw HTML or PHP code into your documents by using the html
or php
tags like this:
<html> This is some <span style="color:red;font-size:150%;">inline HTML</span> </html> <HTML> <p style="border:2px dashed red;">And this is some block HTML</p> </HTML>
This is some inline HTML
And this is some block HTML
<php> echo 'A logo generated by PHP:'; echo '<img src="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?=' . php_logo_guid() . '" alt="PHP Logo !" />'; echo '(generated inline HTML)'; </php> <PHP> echo '<table class="inline"><tr><td>The same, but inside a block level element:</td>'; echo '<td><img src="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?=' . php_logo_guid() . '" alt="PHP Logo !" /></td>'; echo '</tr></table>'; </PHP>
echo 'A logo generated by PHP:';
echo '<img src="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?=' . php_logo_guid() . '" alt="PHP Logo !" />';
echo '(inline HTML)';
echo '<table class="inline"><tr><td>The same, but inside a block level element:</td>'; echo '<td><img src="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?=' . php_logo_guid() . '" alt="PHP Logo !" /></td>'; echo '</tr></table>';
Please Note: HTML and PHP embedding is disabled by default in the configuration. If disabled, the code is displayed instead of executed.
Some syntax influences how DokuWiki renders a page without creating any output it self. The following control macros are availble:
Macro | Description |
---|---|
~~NOTOC~~ | If this macro is found on the page, no table of contents will be created |
~~NOCACHE~~ | DokuWiki caches all output by default. Sometimes this might not be wanted (eg. when the <php> syntax above is used), adding this macro will force DokuWiki to rerender a page on every call |
DokuWiki's syntax can be extended by Plugins. How the installed plugins are used is described on their appropriate description pages. The following syntax plugins are available in this particular DokuWiki installation:
