styleSyntaxExample
bold __text__ (double underscores) text
italic ''text'' (double apostrophes, not quotes) text
underline ===text=== (triple equal signs) text
color ~~#color code: text ~~ text
monospace one or more spaces at beginning of line text

Emphasis: Italics, Bold, and Underlining

For italics, place two apostrophes before and after the text you want to format.

  • Example: ''italic'' (note that you must use two apostrophes, not quotation marks).

For bold, place two underscores before and after the text you want to format.

  • Example: __bold__ .

For underlining, place three equals signs before and after the text you want to format.

  • Example: ===underlining=== .

To create colored text, type two tilde marks ( ~~ ) followed by a hash mark and the color code (such as #FF0000) and a colon; then type the text, and end the format by typing two closing tilde marks.

  • Example: ~~#FF0000: text ~~

TIP: See http://www.pagetutor.com/colorpicker/index.html for some color codes you can use.
To create monospace text, begin a line with one or more spaces. Tiki will show the line using the spacing you've typed.

  • Be sure to keep your monospaced lines short! If they're too long, they'll push the right column out of the browser display area.


Help!

  • If the format you want doesn't appear, and you see the formatting characters on-screen, make sure you've used the right characters. Italics requires two apostrophes, not a quotation mark.
  • If monospacing doesn't work, your administrator has disabled it.
