This page describes using the MoinMoin wiki syntax (which is the default syntax for a MoinMoin based wiki, but not the only one). For other parsers/syntaxes take a look at HelpOnParsers.

General

• Use one or more blank lines to separate paragraphs.

• Use <<BR>> to insert linebreaks into paragraphs.

Typeface

Colorize text

Colorizing is enabled in tables without additional macros (see HelpOnTables).

Use the Color2 macro to color text both in and out of tables.

Usage:

<<Color2(color,bgcolor,font,text)>>
<<Color2(color,bgcolor,text)>>
<<Color2(color,text)>>

Example:

<<Color2(red,blue,courier,red courier on blue)>>

<<Color2(green,yellow,Green Font on Yellow Background)>>

<<Color2(orange,Orange Text)>>

Results:

red courier on blue

Green Font on Yellow Background

Orange Text

Colorize code (Syntax Highlighting)

There are several ways to highlight code:

1. Start a special code block containing the parser's name: {{{#!parsername

2. Embed a file attachment bearing a supported extension (such as ".py") with {{attachment:test.py}}

3. Begin a page with the format processing instruction: #format parsername

Example.

To see the list of supported languages see HelpOnParsers.

Examples

Mixing ''italic'' and '''bold'''

Code

{{{
10 PRINT "Hello, world!"
20 GOTO 10
}}}

Result:

10 PRINT "Hello, world!"
20 GOTO 10

Superscript & Subscript

You might recall ''a''^2^ + ''b''^2^ = ''c''^2^ from your math lessons, unless your head is filled with H,,2,,O.

Result:

You might recall a² + b² = c² from your math lessons, unless your head is filled with H₂O.

Colorized Code, Method #1

{{{#!python
from colors import palette
palette.colorize('python')
}}}

Result:

   1 from colors import palette
   2 palette.colorize('python')
