DokuWiki Syntax Quick Guide

Welcome! This page is designed to show you how DokuWiki syntax works. By editing this page, you can see how the code is written to generate what you are reading.

You can easily apply different styles to your text:

• Bold text (surrounded by two asterisks).
• Italic text (surrounded by two slashes).
• Underlined text (surrounded by two underscores).
• Monospaced text (surrounded by two single quotes).
• _Subscript and ^Superscript (using tags).
• Strikethrough text (using tags).

You can structure your content using up to 5 levels of headlines. The more equals signs (`=`) you use around the text, the higher the headline level.

To create a bulleted list, leave two spaces at the beginning of the line and use an asterisk:

• Item 1
• Item 2
  • Sub-item (four spaces before the asterisk)
  • Another sub-item

To create a numbered list, leave two spaces at the beginning of the line and use a hyphen:

1. First step
2. Second step
   1. Sub-step (four spaces before the hyphen)

DokuWiki allows you to create links easily:

• Internal links (to another page in your wiki): Text to display
• External links: Go to Google
• Emails: user@example.com

You can insert images using double curly brackets. If you add vertical bars (`|`), you can add a title or resize it:

Use the caret symbol (`^`) for headers and the vertical bar (`|`) for normal cells.

If you need to show source code, use the <code language> and </code> tags.

<?php
echo "Hello world from DokuWiki!";
?>

For text you don't want DokuWiki to format, use the '' and '' tags. Here I can use **asterisks** and //slashes// without formatting being applied.

Use the greater-than sign (`>`) to create blockquotes.

This is an example quote.

This is a nested quote inside the previous one.

And this is an even deeper quote.

To create a separator line, simply write four or more hyphens in a row:
