7. Images

To place images on a Wiki page, use:
{{image class="center" alt="DVD logo" title="An Image Link" url="images/dvdvideo.gif" link="RecentChanges"}}

Links can be external, or internal Wiki links. You don't have to enter a link at all, and in that case just an image will be inserted. You can also use the classes 'left' and 'right' to float images left and right. You don't need to use all those attributes, only url is essential.

8. Links

To link to other wiki pages, write

a WikiName
or a forced link with [[ and ]] around it (everything after the first space will be shown as description)
- Example: [[JennaPage Jenna's Home Page]]
or an image with a link

To link to external pages, write

a http address inside the page
or a forced link with [[ and ]] around it (everything after the first space will be shown as description)
- Example: [[http://example.com/jenna/ Jenna's Home Page]]
or an image with a link
or an InterWiki link (see InterWiki page for wiki list)
- Examples:
  - WikiPedia:WikkaWiki∞
  - Google:CSS∞
  - Thesaurus:Happy∞

9. Tables

To create a table use this code:
{{table columns="3" cellpadding="1" cells="BIG;GREEN;FROGS;yes;yes;no;no;no;###"}} to give:

BIG	GREEN	FROGS
yes	yes	no
no	no

### means the cell is empty.

10. Colored Text

{{color c="blue" text="This is a test."}} gives:

This is a test.

If you want to use hex values:

{{color hex="#DD0000" text="This is another test."}} to give:

This is another test.

11. Floats

Left floated box - use two < signs before and after the block

Some text in a floated box hanging around

Some more text as a filler. Some more text as a filler. Some more text as a filler. Some more text as a filler. Some more text as a filler. Some more text as a filler. Some more text as a filler. Some more text as a filler.

Right floated box, use two > characters before and after the block

13. FreeMind∞ maps

There are two options for including maps:

Option 1: Upload a FreeMind file to a webserver, and then place a link to it on a wikka page:

http://yourdomain.com/freemind/freemind.mm
No special formatting is necessary.

Option 2: Paste the FreeMind data directly into a wikka page:

Open a FreeMind file with a text editor.
Select all, and copy the data.
Browse to your Wikka site and paste the Freemind data into a page.

14. Embedded HTML

Use two doublequotes around the html tags.

""
[html code]
""

By default, some HTML tags are removed by the SafeHTML parser to protect against potentially dangerous code. The list of tags that are removed can be found on the Wikka:SafeHTML∞ page.

It is possible to allow all HTML tags to be used, see Wikka:UsingHTML∞ for more information.
