Wilderness Adventure Society Markup Tutorial
Markup Codes
The Wilderness Adventure Society use a restricted version of Creole, which is an emerging standard for Wiki markup. The full specification is available at the WikiCreole site. Our version of Creole allows for bold, italic, and other sorts of markup without using HTML codes directly.
We implement the following Creole Markup codes:
| CodeDescription | Editbar Button | |
|---|---|---|
| ** | Start/stop bold text | |
| // | Start/stop italic text | |
| ((#)) | Inline the #'th image of a story entry into the text here. | |
| {{src, caption}} | Include an external image from the URL "src", with caption "caption" here. | |
| [[src, text]] | Include a link to the URL "src" with visible text "text" here. | |
| \\ | Create a line break here. | |
| empty line | Start a new paragraph | |
| ---- | Create a horizontal rule here. |
Note that you can include HTML codes as well, so if you want a link to a YouTube video without having a text for the link, you can include the YouTube-supplied HTML directly.
The translator does not translate characters for HTML display, so you must manually create the & encoding strings for &, >, <, etc.
Note that ~ is an escape character for the Creole translator, which allows display of Creole special characters.
We do not use any of the section or header markup sepcified by the Creole standard, as we do not use them in stories or daily entries.
Creole can be used in most text fields on the site, including titles and bodies for stories, daily entries, comments, and reviews.
We strip problematic HTML from all inputs, so don't try to include a <script> tag set; the tags and anything between will get removed!
Example
Rendered version:
Left SLC after work, driving fast up
I-80 to beat the traffic that would snarl up once 80 closed.
Once I got to the Uintahs, a little searching was necessary to find a
nice campsite.
Which was then drenched with rain, and loud due to
the lightning storm.
After the first couple thunder claps, I gave up the tent, retreated to the car, and played solitaire with Cruise ship cards while being deafened.
Tomorrow will be climbing, I guarantee!
