| Wiki Syntax |
 Bold text __text__ |
 Italic text 2 single quotes ('). ''text'' |
 Underlined text ===text=== |
 Colored text
~~#FFEE33:text~~ or ~~yellow:text~~. Will display using the indicated HTML color or color name. Color name can contain two colors separated by a comma. In this case, the first color would be the foreground and the second one the background. |
 Deleted text 2 dashes "-". --text-- |
   Headings
!heading1, !!heading2, !!!heading3 |
Show/Hide
!+, !!- show/hide heading section. + (shown) or - (hidden) by default. |
Autonumbered Headings
!#, !!#, !+#, !-# ... |
Table of contents
{toc}, {maketoc} prints out a table of contents for the current page based on structures (toc) or ! headings (maketoc) |
 Horizontal rule ---- |
 Text box ^Box content^ |
 Centered text ::text:: |
 Dynamic variables
%Name% Inserts an editable variable |
 External links
use square brackets for an external link: [URL], [URL|link_description],[URL|link_description|relation] or [URL|description|relation|nocache] (that last prevents the local Wiki from caching the linked page; relation can be used to insert rel attribute for the link - useful e.g. for shadowbox).
For an external Wiki, use ExternalWikiName:PageName or ((External Wiki Name: Page Name)) |
Square Brackets
Use [[foo] to show [foo]. |
 Wiki References
((page)) or ((page|description)) for wiki references
|
  Lists
* for bullet lists, # for numbered lists, ;Word:definition for definiton lists |
Indentation
+, ++ Creates an indentation for each plus (useful in list to continue at the same level) |
 Tables
||row1-col1|row1-col2|row1-col3||row2-col1|row2-col2|row2-col3|| |
 Title bar -=Title=- |
| Monospace font -+Code sample+- |
Line break
%%% (very useful especially in tables) |
Multi-page pages
Use ...page... to separate pages |
Non parsed sections
~np~ data ~/np~ Prevents wiki parsing of the enclosed data. |
Preformated sections
~pp~ data ~/pp~ Displays preformated text/code; no Wiki processing is done inside these sections (as with np), and the spacing is fixed (no word wrapping is done). ~pre~ data ~/pre~ also displayes preformatted text with fixed spacing, but wiki processing still occurs on the text. |
Comments
~tc~ Tiki Comment ~/tc~ makes a Tiki comment. It will be completely removed from the display, but saved in the file for future reference. ~hc~ HTML Comment ~/hc~ makes an HTML comment. It will be inserted as a comment in the output HTML; these are not normally displayed in browsers, but can be seen using "View Source" or similar. |
Block Preformatting
Indent text with any number of spaces to turn it into a monospaced block that still follows other Wiki formatting instructions. It will be indended with the same number of spaces that you used. Note that this mode does not preserve exact spacing and line breaks; use ~pp~...~/pp~ for that. |
Direction
{r2l}, {l2r}, {rm}, {lm}Insert resp. right-to-left and left-to-right text direction DIV (up to end of text) and markers for langages as arabic or hebrew. |
Special characters
~hs~ hard space,
~c~ ©,
~amp~ &,
~lt~ <,
~gt~ >,
~ldq~ “,
~rdq~ ”,
~lsq~ ‘,
~rsq~ ’,
~--~ —,
~bs~ \,
numeric between ~ for html numeric characters entity |
Because the Wiki paragraph formatting feature is off, each line will be presented as you write it. This means that if you want paragraphs to be wrapped properly, a paragraph should be all together on one line.
Plugins
Note that plugin arguments can be enclosed with double quotes ("); this allows them to contain , or = or >.

Wiki Help
A program I wrote
T=s*w*sin(x)*sqrt(2*h*l*cos(x)-2*d*l*sin(x)+d
Here's what all the letters mean:
T: The tension in the cable
x: The angle between the throwing arm and an imaginary vertical line. For example, when the arm is at rest, the angle is 0. When it's cocked, it should be somewhere around 140 or so.
s: The length of the short end of the arm - from the axle to where the weight is attached
l: The length of the long end of the arm - from the axle to wherever the cable attaches to the arm
w: The weight of the counterweight
h: The difference in height between the axle and the pully. For example, the Freedom Launcher's axle is 18 ft off the ground. The cable will be entering the pully at about 1 foot off the ground. So this value for us is 17.
d: The distance from the pully to the upright support. Easily computed using the Pythagoren Theorem: d = sqrt(l
Now, this is a rather messy equation, so I made a program in MatLab where you input the s, l, w, and h values, and it tells you where and what the maximum tension in the cable is, as well as how much force will be required to hold the arm in the cocked position. This is very helpful for figuring out the load on a trigger - and not to mention figuring what type of cable is needed to winch the arm down. I've attached a screenshot of the program. However, this .exe only works on computers that have some MatLab software installed. So if anybody is interested, I can supply you with the MatLab code or the .exe, but the extra (free) MatLab software required for the .exe has a 75 MB or so install file. Just thought I'd spread the word.
