You can use special wiki text markup to do a wide variety of cool and useful things on TeamForge wiki pages.

For a quick introduction, see the documentation for JSPwiki, which is the wiki engine that drives the TeamForge wiki tool.

Text Effects on Wiki Pages

Wiki markup is great for making text look the way you need it to look.

Syntax Effect Details
- - - - Creates a horizontal rule.  
\\ Creates a line break.  
!!!text Creates a level 1 (large) header.  
!!text Creates a level 2 (medium) header.  
!text Creates a level 3 (small) header.  
’ ‘text’ ‘ Creates italic text. (That’s two single quotes on each side.)  
__text__ Creates bold text. (That’s two underscores on each side.)  
{{text}} Creates monospaced text.  
*text Creates a bulleted list item.  
#text Creates a numbered list item.  
;term:ex Creates a definition for the word “term’“with the explanation “ex.”  
{{{text}}} Creates pre-formatted text.  
%%(<css-style>)<your text>%% Defines a CSS style command. %%(font-size: 150%; color: red;) Hello, world!%%
Blank line Starts a new paragraph.  

Bring TeamForge Data into Wiki Pages

Use this markup format to bring in data from elsewhere on your TeamForge site.

Syntax Effect Details
[{INSERT ExcelToHTMLPlugin src='c:\somesheet.xls'}] or [{INSERT ExcelToHTMLPlugin border='1' src='\\the_server\somesheet.xls'}] Reads a Microsoft Excel file and displays it as an HTML table. Parameters:
  • src: URL / Attachment file name
  • srcsheet: Sheet name

Text Navigation Tools for Wiki Pages

You can use wiki syntax to help readers get around.

Syntax Effect Details
%%insert-toc%% Creates a table of contents consisting of the header text on the page.
[link] Creates a link to a new Wiki page called "link." If the link is a complete URL, a link to the URL is created. If the link points to a .gif, .jpg, or .png image, the image is rendered directly in the page.
[title|link] Creates a link to a new Wiki page called "link" with the text "title" displayed for the URL. If the link is a complete URL, a link to the URL is created. If the link points to a .gif, .jpg, or .png image, the image is rendered directly on the page with "title" as ALT text.
~TestText Disables link creation for a CamelCase word. CamelCase words are two or more uppercase words with no spaces. By default, a CamelCase word automatically creates a link to a new Wiki page.
[[link] Creates the text "[link]."
