Revision 1829 Jun 2001 - Main.PeterThoeny

 It is easy to collaborate; just type your text. You don't need to know HTML at all, though you can use it if you prefer. Links to topics will be created automatically, as long as you follow these simple Text Formatting Rules. TextFormattingFAQ has answers to frequently asked questions about text formatting.

  GoodStyle is a WikiWord that links to the GoodStyle topic located in the current Proyecto META web. 
  NotExistingYet^? is a topic waiting to be written. You could create that topic by clicking on the question mark. (Do not create that topic; you would wreck this example!)

+ Using HTML
 Most HTML tags will work, but it's almost always preferable not to use HTML, so that the markup remains easy for everyone to edit.

+ TWiki Variables
 Variables are names that are enclosed in percent signs; they get expanded on the fly.
->
>
+ %TOC% : The table of content, is based on headings in a topic.
  %WEB% : The current web, is TWiki .
  %TOPIC% : The current topic name, is TextFormattingRules .
  %ATTACHURL% : The attachment URL of the current topic. Example usage: If you attach a file to a topic you can refer to it as %ATTACHURL%/image.gif to show the URL of the file or the image in your text.
  %INCLUDE{"SomeTopic"}% : Server side include, includes another topic. The current Proyecto META web is the default web. Example: %INCLUDE{"TWiki.TWikiWebsTable"}% 
  There are many more variables, see TWikiVariables.

+ "Gotchas" when Editing Text 

The formatting rules are fairly simple to use and fast to type. However, there are some things to watch out for:
 

 Q: Text enclosed in angle brackets like <filename> is not displayed. How can I show it as it is? 
 A: The '<' and '>' characters have a special meaning in HTML, they define HTML tags. You need to escape them, so write '&lt;' instead of '<', and '&gt;' instead of '>'. 
 Example: Type 'prog &lt;filename&gt;' to get 'prog <filename>'.
 
 
 

 Q: Why is the '&' character sometimes not displayed? 
 A: The '&' character has a special meaning in HTML, it starts a so called character entity, i.e. '&copy;' is the © copyright character. You need to escape '&' to see it as it is, so write '&amp;' instead of '&'. 
 Example: Type 'This &amp; that' to get 'This & that'.
