This page describes using the MoinMoin wiki syntax (which is the default syntax for a MoinMoin based wiki, but not the only one). For other parsers/syntaxes take a look at HelpOnParsers.

  • Use one or more blank lines to separate paragraphs.

  • Use <<BR>> macro to insert linebreaks into paragraphs.

Name/Sample

Markup

Notes

italic

''italic''

Double single quotes.

bold

'''bold'''

Triple single quotes.

monospace

`monospace`

Single backticks for inline monospaced text. If possible, try to avoid long monospaced texts, especially inside tables: sometimes they are not properly wrapped by the browsers. Wiki markup is ignored.

monospace

{{{monospace}}}

Same as backticks. Placing the braces in separate lines produces a code block.

underline

__underline__

superscript

^super^script

subscript

,,sub,,script

smaller

~-smaller-~

larger

~+larger+~

stroke

--(stroke)--

Colorizing is enabled in tables without additional macros (see HelpOnTables).

There are several ways to highlight code:

  1. Start a special code block containing the parser's name: {{{#!parsername

  2. Embed a file attachment bearing a supported extension (such as ".py") with {{attachment:test.py}}

  3. Begin a page with the format processing instruction: #format parsername

Example.

MoinMoin comes with a special parser called highlight that is based on Pygments internally.

You can use it to highlight many sorts of programming source code, configuration files and other sorts of text files used on computers.

As pointed out on HelpOnParsers, you can nest multiple levels of curly braces:
