# All Syntax Features
This page should be an example for all the syntax features supported
by An Otter Wiki. You display the markdown code via
<span class="help-button"><span class="btn btn-square btn-sm">
<i class="fas fa-ellipsis-v"></i></span> <i class="fas fa-caret-right"></i>
<span class="btn btn-square btn-sm"><i class="fab fa-markdown"></i></span>
View Source</span> or click [here](/Examples/All%20Syntax%20Features/source).
## Markdown paragraphs and text formatting
In markdown paragraphs are seperated by a blank line.
Without an empty
line, a block of
words will be rendered
as paragraph.
Individuals words or sentences can be emphasized as `monospace`, **bold**, _italic_
or **_bold and italic_**. Or go wild and ==mark== or ~~strike out~~ words.
An Otter Wiki stores all pages in UTF-8 in a git repository. With UTF-8 you get emojis
like 🥳 and 🎆, that all modern browsers can display.
If you don't want to user a header for seperating paragraphs,
or a header is just not enough, add a horizontal line:
---
## Links
Some example for links in the middle of a paragraph.
[A link to the otterwiki github project](https://github.com/redimp/otterwiki),
followed by an auto linked url to http://example.com, followed by a mail address
<mailto:mail@example.com>. Commonly used are links inside the wiki, e.g. one pointing [[Home]].
## Footnotes
Here's a sentence with a footnote.[^1]
[^1]: This is the footnote.
## Quotes
> One quoted line.
Got more to quote?
> You can highlight paragraphs as a quote.
>
> The quote can span multiple lines!
>> And it can nest more quotes.
>>
>> **Markdown syntax will be rendered inside quotes.**
## List examples
Itemized lists look like
* this one
* with three
* items.
A numbered list
1. first item
2. second item
3. third item
And a task list
- [ ] a unchecked item
- [x] and **bold** checked item
*The task list can only be mofied by editing it, not by clicking the checkboxes while viewing it.*
## Tables
A wide table with different aligend columns:
| Very wide column without expliciit alignment | Left aligned column | Centered column | Rght aligned Column |
| -------------------------------------------- |:------------------- |:---------------:| -------------------:|
| Cell with Text | Cell with Text | Cell with Text | Cell with Text |
| Cell with <br> two lines. | Cell with Text | Cell with Text | Cell with Text |
A table with some formatting and an emoji.
| Alpha | Bravo | Charlie |
| -------- | ----------------- | -------- |
| `D`elta | Echo | Foxtrott |
| Golf | **Hotel** | India |
| Juliett | Kilo | _Lima_ |
| ~~Mike~~ | November | Oscar |
| Papa | Quebec | Romeo |
| Sierra | Tango | Uniform |
| Victor | [Whisky](#tables) | X-Ray |
| Yankee | Zulu | 🦦 |
## Code blocks
Markdown is often used for documentation, so it's not a
surprise that it should be excellent in displaying code and configurations.
For example a minimal `docker-compose.yaml` for running An Otter Wiki:
```yaml
version: '3'
services:
otterwiki:
image: redimp/otterwiki:2.0
ports:
- 8080:80
```
This and many other examples for syntax highlighting can be found in [[Examples/Syntax Highlighting|/Examples/Syntax Highlighting]].
## Lists can nest blocks
List can nest lists and other block.
1. For example
* an unordered list
* with two items
2. or
1. an new level
2. of an ordered list
3. with three items.
3. Somtimes you might have to add
an entire paragraph to a list. To do that indent it with
4 spaces and add an empty line before and after the paragraph.
5. Maybe you want to add a fenced block of code
```python
class Example:
"""Finding examples is hard."""
var = True
```
4. or a quote
> You get the concept.
## Math or LaTeX
If you want to share math formulas in your wiki, [MathJax](https://www.mathjax.org/) comes
to the rescue. For example:
When `$a \ne 0$`, there are two solutions to `$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$` and they are
```math
x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}.
```
## Special blocks
An Otter Wiki supports also some special blocks, whose syntax is derived
from various dialects.
You can create spoiler blocks:
>! 
>! Not a massive spoiler, but useful to show that you can hide images and text inside
>! a spoiler block.
---
Blocks with summary, that unfold the details on click:
>| # Do you want to know more?
>|
>| Detail blocks could be used for handling spoilers, too.
---
In case you have to highligh important informations,
An Otter Wiki provides special blocks in different flavors.
:::info
# An info block
with some content.
:::
and in the flavor of a
:::warning
# Warning block (in yellow)
With _some_ `formatting` in it.
:::
or a
:::danger
# Danger block (in red)
In case a warning not warning enough.
