# All Syntax Features

This page should be an example for all the syntax features supported
4
by An Otter Wiki. You display the markdown code via
5
<span class="help-button"><span class="btn btn-square btn-sm">
6
<i class="fas fa-ellipsis-v"></i></span> <i class="fas fa-caret-right"></i>
7
<span class="btn btn-square btn-sm"><i class="fab fa-markdown"></i></span>

## Markdown paragraphs and text formatting
11
12
In markdown paragraphs are seperated by a blank line.
13
14
Without an empty
15
line, a block of
16
words will be rendered
17
as paragraph.
18

Individuals words or sentences can be emphasized as `monospace`, **bold**, _italic_
20
or **_bold and italic_**. Or go wild and ==mark== or ~~strike out~~ words.

22
An Otter Wiki stores all pages in UTF-8 in a git repository. With UTF-8 you get emojis
23
like 🥳 and 🎆, that all modern browsers can display.

If you don't want to user a header for seperating paragraphs,
26
or a header is just not enough, add a horizontal line:

## Links
31
0cd553 Ralph Thesen 2023-12-30 19:39:38 32
Some example for links in the middle of a paragraph.
33
[A link to the otterwiki github project](https://github.com/redimp/otterwiki),
34
followed by an auto linked url to http://example.com, followed by a mail address
f1ddec Ralph Thesen 2024-08-07 19:55:28 35
<mailto:mail@example.com>. Commonly used are links inside the wiki, e.g.
36
one pointing [[Home]] or to another example
37
[[Syntax Highlighting|Examples/Syntax Highlighting]].

## Code blocks
104
105
Markdown is often used for documentation, so it's not a
106
surprise that it should be excellent in displaying code and configurations.
107
For example a minimal `docker-compose.yaml` for running An Otter Wiki:
108
109
```yaml
110
version: '3'
111
services:
112
otterwiki:
113
image: redimp/otterwiki:2.0
114
ports:
115
- 8080:80
116
```
117
118
This and many other examples for syntax highlighting can be found in [[Examples/Syntax Highlighting|/Examples/Syntax Highlighting]].
119
120
## Lists can nest blocks
121
122
List can nest lists and other block.
123
124
1. For example
125
* an unordered list
126
* with two items
127
2. or
128
1. an new level
129
2. of an ordered list
130
3. with three items.
131
3. Somtimes you might have to add
132
133
an entire paragraph to a list. To do that indent it with
134
4 spaces and add an empty line before and after the paragraph.
135
136
5. Maybe you want to add a fenced block of code
137
138
```python
139
class Example:
140
"""Finding examples is hard."""
141
var = True
142
```
143
4. or a quote
144
145
> You get the concept.
146
147
## Math or LaTeX
148
0cd553 Ralph Thesen 2023-12-30 19:39:38 149
If you want to share math formulas in your wiki, [MathJax](https://www.mathjax.org/) comes
150
to the rescue. For example:
5d6203 Ralph Thesen 2023-12-04 20:33:58 151
152
When `$a \ne 0$`, there are two solutions to `$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$` and they are
153
```math
154
x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}.
155
```
156
157
## Special blocks
158
159
An Otter Wiki supports also some special blocks, whose syntax is derived
160
from various dialects.
161
162
You can create spoiler blocks:
163
164
>! ![](/static/img/otterhead-100.png)
165
>! Not a massive spoiler, but useful to show that you can hide images and text inside
166
>! a spoiler block.
167
168
---
169
170
Blocks with summary, that unfold the details on click:
171
172
>| # Do you want to know more?
173
>|
174
>| Detail blocks could be used for handling spoilers, too.
