Getting started

Pages on a HonoWiki-powered wiki are written in wikitext — a light markup where a few punctuation marks stand in for formatting, links, and structure. If you've edited a wiki before, most of this will feel familiar.

Editing a page

Open a page and click Edit (or go straight to /edit/wiki/Page name). Write your wikitext, use Show preview to check it, then save.

The essentials

You want	You type
Bold / italic	'''bold''' · ''italic''
A heading	== Section ==
A link	[[Another page]] · [[Page|label]]
A bulleted / numbered list	* item · # item
A table	{| … |}
An image	![[Picture.png|thumb|A caption]]
An external link	[https://example.com label]
Reuse a template	{{Template name}}
A footnote	text<ref>the source</ref>

That's enough to write a real page. When you need more, each area has its own reference:

• Markup — all the formatting, links, lists, tables, and images.
• Templates — reuse content with {{ }} and parameters.
• Engine tags — <ref>, <youtube>, <googlemap>, scoped <style>, and more.
• HTML / CSS / JS — the raw HTML and CSS you're allowed to use.

Show something literally

Wrap anything in <nowiki>…</nowiki> to display it as-is instead of having it interpreted.
