Dokuwiki - Introduction and Syntax Summary

Editing An Existing Page

You can edit any page that you have permission to edit, just click the EDIT button.

Creating A New Page

Before you create a new page, you must know the location for that page, and the page's title. For example, if you were going to create a page detailing the bookkeeping procedure for address changes, you might name the page documentation:bookkeeping:procedures:address_changes.

In Online Docs, the colon “:” takes the place of the backslash “\” in a “file path.” Once the page is created, it CANNOT be moved, so it is very important to create it in the right place the first time!

All pages will be located in the documentation folder, so your page “path” will always begin with “documentation:“

When you know the page path, enter it in the search box and click search, then click “Create This Page” in the left sidebar.

Syntax Basics

Note: For complete syntax in Online Docs, see syntax.

Basic text formatting

Online Docs supports bold, italic, underlined and monospaced texts. Of course you can combine all these.

Online Docs supports **bold**, //italic//, __underlined__ and ''monospaced'' texts.
Of course you can **__//''combine''//__** all these.

Single returns are ignored in Online Docs. To start a new paragraph, skip a line.

Sectioning

You can use up to five different levels of headlines to structure your content. If you have more than three headlines, a table of contents is generated automatically

Headline Level 3

Headline Level 4

Headline Level 5
==== Headline Level 3 ====
=== Headline Level 4 ===
== Headline Level 5 ==

By using four or more dashes, you can make a horizontal line:


Lists

Dokuwiki supports ordered and unordered lists. To create a list item, indent your text by two spaces and use a * for unordered lists or a - for ordered ones.

  • This is a list
  • The second item
    • You may have different levels
  • Another item
  1. The same list but ordered
  2. Another item
    1. Just use indention for deeper levels
  3. That's it

  * This is a list
  * The second item
    * You may have different levels
  * Another item

  - The same list but ordered
  - Another item
    - Just use indention for deeper levels
  - That's it
