Knowledge Base / Markup Types

There are currently four different markup options on CurseForge. Each one is different and will be covered in more detail below.

WikiCreole

WikiCreole attempts to be a universal wiki markup language to be used across different wiki software. It is far more standardized and sane than many other wiki formats, especially MediaWiki and Curse Wiki. We hope for it to be an adequate successor to Curse Wiki on curseforge and wowace.

More information can be found at http://www.wikicreole.org

The following is a cheat sheet for the syntax for WikiCreole.

Youtube video

<<youtube video_code_here>>

Your video code is everything that comes after the v= in your youtube url. For example, say your url is youtube.com/watch?v= 1XNTjVScm_8. You would type the following:

<<youtube 1XNTjVScm_8>> →

Vimeo video

<<vimeo 4202002>> →

Font size

<<size 200%>>Hello<</size>> → Hello

<<size 24px>>Hello<</size>> → Hello

Font color

Please don't abuse this. Egregious use of colors may make us re-evaluate having this at all. Also, be aware of changing background colors. Green on black might look nice, but but Green on white might not.

<<color red>>It's red!<</color>> → It's red!

<<color 00f>>It's blue!<</color>> → It's blue!

<<color 00ff00>>It's green!<</color>> → It's green!

<<color #ffff00>>It's yellow!<</color>> → It's yellow!

Quotes

<<quote>>Hello there<</quote>> →

Quote:

Hello there

<<quote Some random guy>>How was **your** day?<</quote>> →

Quote from Some random guy:

How was your day?

Pastes

<<paste 528>> → 

1
2
3
4
5
print("This is a test paste")

if true then
    return "Isn't it awesome?"
end

Emotes

Note: Since unexpected emotes can mess up lines of code, all emotes must have whitespace surrounding them to turn into a graphical version.

BBCode

The following BBCode tags are supported:

[b]
Bold
[i]
Italic
[u]
Underline
[s]
strikethrough
[link]
A hyper link
[url]
a url
[quote]
quoting
[img]
displays an image
[wiki]
Displays a wikipedia search link.
[google]
Displays a google search link.
[dict] or [dictionary]
looks up a word via dictionary.com
[list]
opens a list
[*]
a item in a list
[code]
a preformatted code block
[size=13]
font size
[color=red]
font color
[paste]1234[/paste]
show a paste from paste.SC2Mapster.com

Note: Our BBCode implementation is a thin wrapper around WikiCreole. The BBCode tags are converted to WikiCreole, and then that parser is used.

Safe HTML

This allows you to use a subset of html in your postings.

Valid Tags:

  • a
  • p
  • b
  • br
  • hr
  • strong
  • u
  • em
  • i
  • img
  • div
  • span
  • center
  • table
  • td
  • tr
  • thead
  • tfoot
  • tbody
  • caption
  • colgroup
  • rowgroup
  • ol
  • ul
  • li
  • h2
  • h3
  • h4
  • h5
  • h6

You may use the following attributes:

  • name
  • title
  • width
  • height
  • href
  • src

Textile

A lightweight markup language. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_(markup_language) for more details.

Markdown

Another lightweight markup language. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown for more details.

Plain Text

Just what it sounds like. This simply escapes characters, urlizes links, replaces newlines with a br tag and wraps paragraphs with p tags.

    Where the hell did safe HTML go!!! now I have to waste time on changing my layout to some obscure markup language! :'( This is just fucking annoying!!

    Bring back HTML formatting! Nested lists do not work in the other formats, and I have information that needs to be organised, dammit!

    Why doesn't works <table> in Markdown anymore?
    Was it removed or is it broken?

    Egads, I'm getting both WikiCreole AND BBCode markups.

    Which means that my hyphens -- like this -- are turning into strikeouts.

    Yea, not to mention my code or quote blocks are sometimes not being converted at all ... still not sure why.

    <<code>>defaults: biomes: ALL worlds: ALL

    instead of an actual code block.

    Hmm, but I do like Teknician kat ...

    Can you allow plaintext users to change their font? To a monospaced font like Courier New?

    Can we add in options for anchoring. http://wiki.wikicreole.org/HelpOnLinking
