PodWiki considers a page as Creole Markup if the page is not POD formatted. This allows you to write natural text.
WikiShorthand does not support all the features of POD but it is enough for the most things.
In addition it is possible to intermix POD and Shorthand markup. You can write a normal POD page and add a block for the Shorthand or some other markup.
For the impatient: visit the CreoleSample page which shows most of the features.
Description of Creole:
Just as in POD, separate paragraphs by empty lines.
Just write the headline and write a line of special characters to the next line. The following headline types are recognized:
== H1 head
=== H2 head
==== H3 head
===== H4 head
Only bold and italic text formatting is supported.
**bold text**
//italic text//
To achive bold+italic formatted text, combine * and /:
**//bold italic text//**
To force text to be printed as is (using PRE HTML tags) unparsed, use surround it with 3 {{{ and }}}.
{{{ if(blah) { white(blah); } }}}
To include a graphic (you have to upload it before you can do this):
{{daemon.png}}
Write the PodWiki page name between double square brackets:
[[PodWikiHelp]]
will generate:
If the page does not exist, a link will be created which points to the page editor(creates a new page).
Just write the URL, PodWiki will generate a link to the URL.
http://blah.org
will generate:
This is not supported with Creole, use PerlPod for this.
You can create single-level lists. Just prepend each list item with a "* ". E.g.:
* this is one item * this is the other item
will generate:
this is one item
this is the other item
Variables are fully supported. See here for details.
