Compose tips

  • Web page addresses and e-mail addresses turn into links automatically.

  • Allowed HTML tags: <br> <b> <a> <em> <strong> <cite> <code> <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd> <blockquote> <img> <h1> <h2> <h3> <tt> <pre> <strike> <table> <tr> <th> <td>

  • Lines and paragraphs are automatically recognized. The <br /> line break, <p> paragraph and </p> close paragraph tags are inserted automatically. If paragraphs are not recognized simply add a couple blank lines.
  • You can cite references directly into texts with <bib>citekey</bib> or [bib]citekey[/bib]. This will be replaced with a running number (the publication reference) and the publication referenced by the citekey within the <bib> tags will be printed at the bottom of the page (the reference).
  • You can insert footnotes directly into texts with [fn]This text becomes a footnote.[/fn]. This will be replaced with a running number (the footnote reference) and the text within the [fn] tags will be moved to the bottom of the page (the footnote).

  • Syntax highlighting of source code can be enabled with the following tags:

    • Generic syntax highlighting tags: "<code>", "<blockcode>".
    • Language specific syntax highlighting tags: .

    Options and tips:

    • The language for the generic syntax highlighting tags can be specified with one of the attribute(s): type, lang, language, class. The possible values are: "apache" (for Apache Log), "bash" (for Bash), "bnf" (for bnf), "c" (for C), "cpp" (for C++), "dot" (for dot), "html4strict" (for HTML), "java" (for Java), "javascript" (for Javascript), "latex" (for LaTeX), "lisp" (for Lisp), "lua" (for Lua), "mysql" (for MySQL), "perl" (for Perl), "php" (for PHP), "php-brief" (for PHP), "plsql" (for PL/SQL), "python" (for Python), "rails" (for Rails), "ruby" (for Ruby), "sql" (for SQL), "xml" (for XML).
    • The supported tag styles are: <foo>, [foo].
    • Line numbering can be enabled/disabled with the attribute "linenumbers". Possible values are: "off" for no line numbers, "normal" for normal line numbers and "fancy" for fancy line numbers (every nth line number highlighted). The start line number can be specified with the attribute "start", which implicitly enables normal line numbering. For fancy line numbering the interval for the highlighted line numbers can be specified with the attribute "fancy", which implicitly enables fancy line numbering.
    • If the source code between the tags contains a newline (e.g. immediatly after the opening tag), the highlighted source code will be displayed as a code block. Otherwise it will be displayed inline.
    • A title can be added to a code block with the attribute "title".

    Defaults:

    • Default highlighting mode for generic syntax highlighting tags: the default language used for syntax highlighting is "ruby".
    • Default line numbering: normal line numbers.

    Examples:

    You typeYou get
    <code>foo = "bar";</code>Inline code with the default syntax highlighting mode.
    <code>
    foo = "bar";
    baz = "foz";
    </code>    		Code block with the default syntax highlighting mode.
    <code lang="apache" linenumbers="normal">
    foo = "bar";
    baz = "foz";
    </code>    		Code block with syntax highlighting for Apache Log source code
    and normal line numbers.
    <code language="apache" start="23" fancy="7">
    foo = "bar";
    baz = "foz";
    </code>    		Code block with syntax highlighting for Apache Log source code,
    line numbers starting from 23
    and highlighted line numbers every 7th line.
