__NOTOC__ |
|||
'''Wikitext language''', or '''wiki markup''', is a [[lightweight markup language]] used to write pages in [[wiki]] websites, such as [[Wikipedia]], and is a simplified alternative/intermediate to [[HTML]]. Its ultimate purpose is to be converted by [[wiki (software)|wiki software]] into [[HTML]], which in turn is served to web browsers. |
|||
There is no commonly accepted standard wikitext language. The grammar, structure, justification, keywords and so on depend on the particular wiki software used on the particular [[website]]. For example, all wikitext markup languages have a simple way of [[hyperlink]]ing to other pages within the site, but there are several different syntax conventions for these links. Many wikis, especially the earlier ones, used [[CamelCase]] to mark words that should be [[AutoLink|automatically linked]]. In [[MediaWiki]], this convention was replaced with the <nowiki>[[…]]</nowiki> notation, which Wikipedia calls "free links".<ref>{{cite web |

Different [[Wiki]] programs may support use of different sets of [[HTML element]]s within wikitext. In some cases, permitted HTML elements may be configured by individual wiki sites. MediaWiki supports many common HTML tags. |

[[Creole (markup)|Creole]] is an effort for a "common wiki markup language to be used across different Wikis".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wikicreole.org/ |title=WikiCreole: Home |publisher=Wikicreole.org |date= |accessdate=2008-11-26}}</ref> There are several [[wiki (software)|wiki engines]] that have implemented Creole.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wikicreole.org/wiki/Engines |title=WikiCreole: Engines |publisher=Wikicreole.org |date= |accessdate=2008-11-26}}</ref> Version 1.0 of the specification was released in July 2007.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wikicreole.org/wiki/Creole1.0 |title=WikiCreole: Creole 1.0 |publisher=Wikicreole.org |date= |accessdate=2008-11-26}}</ref> It is not supported by MediaWiki. |
