WikiFormatting

Wiki serves as the core component of Trac, which tightly integrates all the other parts of Trac into flexible and powerful system. Trac has a built in small and powerful wiki rendering engine. This wiki engine implements an ever growing subset of the commands from other popular Wikis especially ​MoinWiki.

This page demonstrates some of the formatting commands available in the Trac Wiki.

Font styles

The Trac wiki support the following font styles: bold, italic and underline.

The Trac wiki support the following font styles: '''bold''', ''italic''

Example:

= Heading =
== Subheading ==

Paragraphs

A new text paragraph is created whenever two blocks of text are separated by an empty line. A newline can also be inserted like this:

Line 1[[BR]]Line 2

Text paragraphs can also be indented by starting the lines with a few spaces.

Lists

 * File svn:trunk/COPYING.
