12 Formatting in TWiki
In principle, formatting in TWiki is done in exactly the same way as
in MediaWiki. Each wiki, however, has its own conventions. Thus,
you must get used to a few new formatting signs.
12.1
Formatting Text
The best way to test formats is to use a separate page, which we will
now generate in preparation for our formatting tasks. To do this, set
a link to FormatTest on the page Main.WebHome:
FormatTest
You will then see that there is a question mark after the link. This is
TWiki's way of indicating that the page does not yet exist. When you
click on the question mark, the page will be created. The page of
origin will be entered as the parent page. You can recognize this by
the fact that the parent page appears at the end of the page in the path
“You are here.”
TWiki headings always begin with three minus signs, and are followed
by plus signs and then the heading text. A heading of level
one, that is, the most important heading, has one plus sign, a heading
of the second level has two plus signs, etc. No additional format indicators
must be placed after the heading.
---+Heading 1
---++Heading 2
---+++Heading 3
Headings can be used in up to six levels.
