Special Markers and clever tricks

9th August 2017
Please note that the editing function is undergoing some development work so some parts of these instructions may no longer be correct. Apologies for the inconvenience and we hope to have these updated soon.

  • To prevent the wiki 'markup syntax' (what we are calling the "EditingConventions") from taking effect for a particular section, that section can be enclosed in three double curly brackets: e.g. """WikiWord""".
  • <br> forces a manual line break in a block of text
  • ---- at the beginning of a line creates a horizontal ruler across the whole page - like this:

  • HTML entities
  • <<macroName>> calls the respective macro
  • To hide text within a tiddler so that it is not displayed, it can be wrapped in /% and %/.
    This can be a useful trick for hiding drafts or annotating complex markup.

CSS programming for really fancy formating (complicated!)
  • @@CssProperty:value;CssProperty:value;…@@
    N.B.: CSS color definitions should use lowercase letters to prevent the inadvertent creation of WikiWords.
  • {{customCssClass{…}}}
  • raw HTML can be inserted by enclosing the respective code in HTML tags: <html> … </html>
