===== Text Conversions =====
DokuWiki can convert certain pre-defined characters or strings into images or other text or HTML.
The text to image conversion is mainly done for smileys. And the text to HTML conversion is used for typography replacements, but can be configured to use other HTML as well.
==== Text to Image Conversions ====
DokuWiki converts commonly used [[wp>emoticon]]s to their graphical equivalents. Those [[doku>Smileys]] and other images can be configured and extended. Here is an overview of Smileys included in DokuWiki:
* 8-) %% 8-) %%
* 8-O %% 8-O %%
* :-( %% :-( %%
* :-) %% :-) %%
* =) %% =) %%
* :-/ %% :-/ %%
* :-\ %% :-\ %%
* :-? %% :-? %%
* :-D %% :-D %%
* :-P %% :-P %%
* :-O %% :-O %%
* :-X %% :-X %%
* :-| %% :-| %%
* ;-) %% ;-) %%
* ^_^ %% ^_^ %%
* :?: %% :?: %%
* :!: %% :!: %%
* LOL %% LOL %%
* FIXME %% FIXME %%
* DELETEME %% DELETEME %%
==== Text to HTML Conversions ====
Typography: [[DokuWiki]] can convert simple text characters to their typographically correct entities. Here is an example of recognized characters.
-> <- <-> => <= <=> >> << -- --- 640x480 (c) (tm) (r)
"He thought 'It's a man's world'..."
-> <- <-> => <= <=> >> << -- --- 640x480 (c) (tm) (r)
"He thought 'It's a man's world'..."
The same can be done to produce any kind of HTML, it just needs to be added to the [[doku>entities|pattern file]].
There are three exceptions which do not come from that pattern file: multiplication entity (640x480), 'single' and "double quotes". They can be turned off through a [[doku>config:typography|config option]].
===== Quoting =====
Some times you want to mark some text to show it's a reply or comment. You can use the following syntax:
I think we should do it
> No we shouldn't
>> Well, I say we should
> Really?
>> Yes!
>>> Then lets do it!
I think we should do it
> No we shouldn't
>> Well, I say we should
> Really?
>> Yes!
>>> Then lets do it!
===== Tables =====
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 3 Col 2 | Row 3 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 3 Col 2 | Row 3 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 |
You can have rowspans (vertically connected cells) by adding ''%%:::%%'' into the cells below the one to which they should connect.
^ Heading 1 ^ Heading 2 ^ Heading 3 ^
| Row 1 Col 1 | this cell spans vertically | Row 1 Col 3 |
| Row 2 Col 1 | ::: | Row 2 Col 3 |
| Row 3 Col 1 | ::: | Row 2 Col 3 |
Apart from the rowspan syntax those cells should not contain anything else.
^ Heading 1 ^ Heading 2 ^ Heading 3 ^
| Row 1 Col 1 | this cell spans vertically | Row 1 Col 3 |
| Row 2 Col 1 | ::: | Row 2 Col 3 |
| Row 3 Col 1 | ::: | Row 2 Col 3 |
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 |
Note: Vertical alignment is not supported.
===== No Formatting =====
If you need to display text exactly like it is typed (without any formatting), enclose the area either with ''%%%%'' or ''%%%%''.
This is text is indented by two spaces.
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.
Those blocks were created by this source:

==== Syntax Highlighting ====
[[wiki:DokuWiki]] can highlight sourcecode, which makes it easier to read. It uses the [[http://qbnz.com/highlighter/|GeSHi]] Generic Syntax Highlighter -- so any language supported by GeSHi is supported. The syntax uses the same code and file blocks described in the previous section, but this time the name of the language syntax to be highlighted is included inside the tag, e.g. ''
/**
* 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: //4cs, 6502acme, 6502kickass, 6502tasm, 68000devpac, abap, actionscript-french, actionscript, actionscript3, ada, algol68, apache, applescript, asm, asp, autoconf, autohotkey, autoit, avisynth, awk, bascomavr, bash, basic4gl, bf, bibtex, blitzbasic, bnf, boo, c, c_loadrunner, c_mac, caddcl, cadlisp, cfdg, cfm, chaiscript, cil, clojure, cmake, cobol, coffeescript, cpp, cpp-qt, csharp, css, cuesheet, d, dcs, delphi, diff, div, dos, dot, e, epc, ecmascript, eiffel, email, erlang, euphoria, f1, falcon, fo, fortran, freebasic, fsharp, gambas, genero, genie, gdb, glsl, gml, gnuplot, go, groovy, gettext, gwbasic, haskell, hicest, hq9plus, html, html5, icon, idl, ini, inno, intercal, io, j, java5, java, javascript, jquery, kixtart, klonec, klonecpp, latex, lb, lisp, llvm, locobasic, logtalk, lolcode, lotusformulas, lotusscript, lscript, lsl2, lua, m68k, magiksf, make, mapbasic, matlab, mirc, modula2, modula3, mmix, mpasm, mxml, mysql, newlisp, nsis, oberon2, objc, objeck, ocaml-brief, ocaml, oobas, oracle8, oracle11, oxygene, oz, pascal, pcre, perl, perl6, per, pf, php-brief, php, pike, pic16, pixelbender, pli, plsql, postgresql, povray, powerbuilder, powershell, proftpd, progress, prolog, properties, providex, purebasic, pycon, python, q, qbasic, rails, rebol, reg, robots, rpmspec, rsplus, ruby, sas, scala, scheme, scilab, sdlbasic, smalltalk, smarty, sql, systemverilog, tcl, teraterm, text, thinbasic, tsql, typoscript, unicon, uscript, vala, vbnet, vb, verilog, vhdl, vim, visualfoxpro, visualprolog, whitespace, winbatch, whois, xbasic, xml, xorg_conf, xpp, yaml, z80, zxbasic//
==== Downloadable Code Blocks ====
When you use the ''%%%%'' or ''%%%%'' syntax as above, you might want to make the shown code available for download as well. You can do this by specifying a file name after language code like this:
If you don't want any highlighting but want a downloadable file, specify a dash (''-'') as the language code: ''%%%%''.
===== Embedding HTML and PHP =====
You can embed raw HTML or PHP code into your documents by using the ''%%%%'' or ''%%%%'' tags. (Use uppercase tags if you need to enclose block level elements.)
HTML example:
This is some inline HTML
And this is some block HTML
This is some inline HTML
And this is some block HTML
PHP example:
echo 'The PHP version: ';
echo phpversion();
echo ' (generated inline HTML)';
echo 'The same, but inside a block level element: ';
echo ''.phpversion().' ';
echo '
';
echo 'The PHP version: ';
echo phpversion();
echo ' (inline HTML)';
echo 'The same, but inside a block level element: ';
echo ''.phpversion().' ';
echo '
';
**Please Note**: HTML and PHP embedding is disabled by default in the configuration. If disabled, the code is displayed instead of executed.
===== RSS/ATOM Feed Aggregation =====
[[DokuWiki]] can integrate data from external XML feeds. For parsing the XML feeds, [[http://simplepie.org/|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 [[doku>config:htmlok|HTML]] is disabled all tags will be stripped |
| nosort | do not sort the items in the feed |
| //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. [[wiki: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 [[wiki:DokuWiki]] to re-render the page if it is more than //refresh period// since the page was last rendered.
By default the feed will be sorted by date, newest items first. You can sort it by oldest first using the ''reverse'' parameter, or display the feed as is with ''nosort''.
**Example:**
{{rss>http://slashdot.org/index.rss 5 author date 1h }}
{{rss>http://slashdot.org/index.rss 5 author date 1h }}
===== Control Macros =====
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 %%%% syntax above is used), adding this macro will force DokuWiki to rerender a page on every call |
===== Syntax Plugins =====
DokuWiki's syntax can be extended by [[doku>plugins|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:
