    5 Wiki markup is a core feature in Trac, tightly integrating all the other parts of Trac into a flexible and powerful whole.
    6 
    7 Trac has a built in small and powerful wiki rendering engine. This wiki engine implements an ever growing subset of the commands from other popular Wikis, especially [http://moinmo.in/ MoinMoin] and [trac:WikiCreole].
    8 
    9 This page will give you an in-depth explanation of the wiki markup available anywhere WikiFormatting is allowed.
    10 
    11 The sections below provide an overview for the most common syntax, each link in the ''Category'' column will lead you to the more detailed explanation later in this page.
    12 
    13 A few other wiki pages present the advanced features of the Trac wiki markup in more depth:
    14  - TracLinks covers all the possible ways to refer precisely to any Trac resource or parts thereof
    15  - WikiPageNames covers the various names a wiki page can take, CamelCase or not
    16  - WikiMacros lists the macros available for generating dynamic content
    17  - WikiProcessors and WikiHtml details how parts of the wiki text can be processed in special ways
    18  - [trac:wiki:TracDev/Proposals/AdvancedWikiOperations AdvancedWikiOperations] provides some operations in uncommon or administrative scenarios

    285277Notes:
    286278 * `{{{...}}}` and {{{`...`}}} commands not only select a monospace font, but also treat their content as verbatim text, meaning that no further wiki processing is done on this text.
    287  * {{{ ! }}} tells wiki parser to not take the following characters as wiki format, so pay attention to put a space after !, e.g. when ending bold.
     279 * {{{ ! }}} tells wiki parser to not take the following characters as wiki format, so pay attention to put a space after `!`, e.g. when ending bold.
    288280 * all the font styles marks have to be used in opening/closing pairs,
    289    and they must nest properly (in particular, an `''` italic can't be paired
    290    with a `//` one, and `'''` can't be paired with `**`)
     281   and they must nest properly; in particular, an `''` italic can't be paired
     282   with a `//` one, and `'''` can't be paired with `**`.
    291283
    292284== Headings
    293285
    294 You can create heading by starting a line with one up to six ''equal'' characters ("=") followed by a single space and the headline text.
     286You can create a heading by starting a line with one up to six ''equal'' characters (`=`) followed by a single space and the headline text.
    295287
    296288[=#hn]
    297 The headline text can be followed by the same number of "=" characters, but this is no longer mandatory.
     289The headline text can be followed by the same number of `=` characters, but this is not mandatory. That is, `=== Section3 ===` is identical to `=== Section3`.
    298290
    299291Finally, the heading might optionally be followed by an explicit id. If not, an implicit but nevertheless readable id will be generated.
    … …  
    352344The wiki supports both ordered/numbered and unordered lists.

    468459== Discussion Citations
    469460
    470 To delineate a citation in an ongoing discussion thread, such as the ticket comment area, e-mail-like citation marks (">", ">>", etc.) may be used.

    489480=== Simple Tables

    491 Simple tables can be created like this:

    493484{{{#!td
    … …  
    502493}}}
    503494
    504 Cell headings can be specified by wrapping the content in a pair of '=' characters.
    505 Note that the '=' characters have to stick to the cell separators, like this:
     495Cell headings can be specified by wrapping the content in a pair of `=` characters.
     496Note that the `=` characters have to stick to the cell separators:
    506497||= Wiki Markup =||= Display =||
    507498{{{#!td
    … …  
    518509}}}
    519510
    520 Finally, specifying an empty cell means that the next non empty cell will span the empty cells. For example:
     511Finally, specifying an empty cell means that the next non empty cell will span the empty cells:
    521512||= Wiki Markup =||= Display =||
    522513{{{#!td
    … …  
    535526}}}
    536527
    537 Note that if the content of a cell "sticks" to one side of the cell and only one, then the text will be aligned on that side. Example:
     528Note that if the content of a cell sticks to one side of the cell and only one, then the text will be aligned on that side:

    561552
    562 If contrary to the example above, the cells in your table contain more text, it might be convenient to spread a table row over multiple lines of markup. The `\` character placed at the end of a line after a cell separator tells Trac to not start a new row for the cells on the next line.

    580571=== Complex Tables

    582 If the possibilities offered by the simple "pipe"-based markup for tables described above are not enough for your needs, you can create more elaborated tables by using [#Processors-example-tables WikiProcessor based tables].

    584575== Links
    585576
    586 Hyperlinks are automatically created for WikiPageNames and URLs. !WikiPageLinks can be disabled by prepending an exclamation mark "!" character, such as {{{!WikiPageLink}}}.

    671662== Setting Anchors
    672663
    673 An anchor, or more correctly speaking, an [http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/links.html#h-12.2.1 anchor name] can be added explicitly at any place in the Wiki page, in order to uniquely identify a position in the document:

    679 This syntax was chosen to match the format for explicitly naming the header id [#Headings documented above]. For example:

    689680Optionally, a label can be given to the anchor:
    690681{{{
    691 [[=#point1 '''Point 1''']]
     682[=#point1 '''Point 1''']
    692683}}}

    … …  
    711702}}}
    712703
    713 For more complex anchors (e.g. when a custom title is wanted), one can use the Span macro, e.g. `[[span(id=point2, class=wikianchor, title=Point 2, ^(2)^)]]`.
     704For more complex anchors (eg when a custom title is wanted), you can use the Span macro: `[[span(id=point2, class=wikianchor, title=Point 2, ^(2)^)]]`.
