TipiWiki tries to be as standard-compliant as possible or as far as there is a standard. So here are the commands to use here.
Text formatting
- One * before a line puts bullet in front of it, like in this bulleted list
- One ! is <h1> - a big headline
- Two !! is <h2> - smaller headline
- Three !!! is <h3> - smallest headline
- Two * before and after something makes it bold
- Two ' before and after something makes it italic
- One vertical bar before and after something put a box around
- essay papers

Links
- Normally you should use WikiWords, which are characterized by the lacking whitespace between. The will be made links to other pages in this Wiki.
- If you want to link to something external, you could just type the url and if it is valid, it will be clickable
- to make external links more beautiful, there is another version [valid url|link] can be used to create something like that
- another new feature is picture linking. If you put the url to a picture between such [ ] brackets, the image will be displayed. For example the logo below
special pages
- RecentChanges could be every page just insert a < recentchanges > (without the whitespaces) and there the RecentChanges will be inserted
- FindPage is the same with < findpage >
- AllPages, too. < allpages > does the magic
Underlines
It is possible and implemented to format something as underlined with __ underscores. This will result in invalid XHTML. The <u> tag was deprecated, because people mistake underlined with links. Better you don't use it.
