Wikis should be easy to edit, so most text you add or change will appear as you expect it. But you can do more if you want.

[https://wikiindex.org/Xenharmonic_Wiki This wiki] is currently in [https://wikiindex.org/Category:ConfirmEmail ConfirmEmail mode] after the move from Wikispaces to a MediaWiki-based installation (the edit mode may change again some time). For editing or adding information to the wiki, you have to join it. See [[How to ~~Get Your Xenwiki Account~~]] for more!

Line 48:

Some typographic markup can easy be added by including the phrase in doubled <code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code> or tripled <code><nowiki>'''</nowiki></code> (apostrophe chars):

* '''Bold''' using <code>{{'''}}bold{{'''}}</code>

* '''Bold''' using <code><nowiki>'''bold'''</nowiki></code>

* ''Italic'' using <code>{{''}}italic{{''}}</code>

* ''Italic'' using <code><nowiki>''italic''</nowiki></code>

* '''''Bold italic''''' using <code>{{'''~~}}{{~~''}}bold italic{{''~~}}{{~~'''}}</code>

* '''''Bold italic''''' using <code><nowiki>'''''bold italic'''''</nowiki></code>

It is also possible to use Wiki markup within <code><<nowiki />pre></code> tags, and have it actually be interpreted as markup instead of being escaped. This can be done by inserting <code~~><<nowiki /~~>includeonly /></code> in the opening tag, or (as seen on Wikipedia and many other sites) ~~with~~ <code><includeonly></includeonly></code>, as follows:

It is also possible to use Wiki markup within <code><<nowiki />pre></code> tags, and have it actually be interpreted as markup instead of being escaped. This can be done by inserting an <code>includeonly</code> directive in the opening tag, as <code style="white-space: nowrap;"><includeonly /></code> or (as seen on Wikipedia and many other sites) <code style="white-space: nowrap;"><includeonly></includeonly></code>, as follows:

=== Syntax highlighting ===

The <code><<nowiki />pre></code> tag also accepts styling, just like other HTML elements. Here, if you use the aformentioned <code>includeonly</code> directive, the styling should come after the directive:

<pre<includeonly /> style="color: blue;">

[[Wiki]] markup & '''bold''' ''italic'' text

</pre>

</syntaxhighlight>

gives

<pre<includeonly /> style="color: blue;">

[[Wiki]] markup & '''bold''' ''italic'' text

</pre>

==== Syntax highlighting ====

[[mw:extension:SyntaxHighlight|Syntax highlighting]] is a feature to display source code in different colors and fonts to indicate the structure to readers. Wrap the desired code between <code><<nowiki />syntaxhighlight></code> tags and input the desired programming language using the <code>lang</code> parameter in the opening tag. Unlike in <code><<nowiki />code></code> and <code><<nowiki />pre></code> tags, everything is escaped.
