This formatter is primarily intended as an aid to those migrating from a TikiWiki system to PodWiki. The text in the tiki formatter block is parsed and formatted according to the TikiWiki markup rules. This formatter is used by marking a section as follows:
=begin tiki Text using [http://tikiwiki.org|TikiWiki] markup. =end
This formatter supports most of the TikiWiki markup (at least that existed at the time of this writing, approximately 29 April 2004), although in general TikiWiki plugins are not supported.
This section shows the markup. Note that if the Tiki formatter is not installed on this PodWiki, no text will be shown.
Lists: At beginning of line, "*" for bullet lists, "#" for numbered lists; increasing numbers of * or # increase the nesting level of the list item. ";term:definition" for definiton lists
Wiki References: JoinCapitalizedWords or use ((page)) or ((page|desc)) for wiki references; ))SomeName(( prevents referencing
External links: use square brackets for an external link: [URL] or [URL|link_description] or [URL|description|nocache].
Misc: "!", "!!", "!!!" make headings, "----" makes a horizontal rule
Title bar: "-=title=-" creates a title bar.
Images: "{img src=images/ok.png width=200 height=100 align=center link=http://www.yahoo.com desc=tick}" displays an image; height, width, desc, link, and align are optional
Tables: || row1-col1 | row1-col2 | row1-col3 \n row2-col1 | row2-col2col3 || creates a table ("\n" stands for a new line). Note that TikiWiki also has a table syntax that separates rows with ||, but that is not supported by this formatter.
Simple box: "^Box content^" Creates a box with the data
Colored text: "~~#FFEE33:some text~~" Will display using the indicated HTML color
Center: "::some text::" Will display the text centered
Non parsed sections: "~np~ data ~/np~" Prevents parsing data.
Preformated sections: "~pp~ data ~/pp~" Displays preformated text/code; no Wiki processing is done inside these sections.
Square Brackets: Use [[foo] to show [foo].
Block Preformatting: Indent text with any number of spaces to turn it into a monospaced block that still follows other Wiki formatting instructions. It will be indented with the same number of spaces that you used.
Table of Contents: "{maketoc}" will insert a table of contents of the page
Including another page: "{INCLUDE(page=>PageName)}{INCLUDE}" will insert the contents of the wiki page named PageName. Note that the POD markup "P<PageName>" is also accepted (and shorter). The INCLUDE syntax is primarily for those pages that have been imported from a TikiWiki web.
This section shows the output of the markup described above. Note that if the Tiki formatter is not installed on this PodWiki, no text will be shown.
