StarCat Wiki-Specific Syntax

This page contains specific notes on formatting for the StarCat Wiki. See also the standard Formatting Syntax page for DokuWiki formatting notes.

The installed mikioplugin (which works with the installed theme) adds some Bootstrap theme elements that you can use on Dokuwiki pages. For a list of the different elements that you can use, see the Mikioplugin wiki at https://github.com/nomadjimbob/mikioplugin/wiki.

You can insert icons (like this) into pages using a snippet like this:

<icon fa binoculars>

You can find a full list of available icons (currently FontAwesome v4) here: https://fontawesome.com/v4/icons/

You can insert alerts (aka admonitions) into pages like this:

<alert>A simple primary alert - check it out!</alert>
<alert secondary>A simple secondary alert - check it out!</alert>
<alert success>A simple success alert - check it out!</alert>
<alert danger>A simple danger alert - check it out!</alert>
<alert warning>A simple warning alert - check it out!</alert>
<alert info>A simple info alert - check it out!</alert>
<alert light>A simple light alert - check it out!</alert>
<alert dark>A simple dark alert - check it out!</alert>

The installed nspages plugin lets us list some/all of the pages within that page's namespace. You can find the full documentation here: https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:nspages#manual

As a rule of thumb, for a section landing template where you may not (yet) have a full page, you can use this snippet to display the sub-pages and sub-namespaces (sections) within that section:

<nspages -h1 -subns -exclude:start -hideNoPages -hideNoSubns -textPages="Pages in this section" -textNS="Subsections in this section">

Tip: Use the “lightning bolt” button in the editor toolbar to automatically add this snippet to your page.

It's recommended to add a horizontal rule above the nspages insert and below any introduction text that you may have for the page.

To show keyboard buttons like A or CTRL+ALT+DEL, use the following code, or click the keyboard button in the editor toolbar.

<key>a</key>
<key>CTRL + ALT + DEL</key>
