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.

TerrorBiteIndustries Mon, 29 Aug 2011 06:08:57At first I was like "Ugh, I don't want to learn Yet Another Markup Language*..."
then I was like "Markdown? YAY I'M FROM REDDIT"
(*Not to be confused with YAML, which stands for "YAML Ain't Markup Language".)
