List of Wiki Codes

Wiki Code is a set of BB-Code tags that were added for use specifically when editing Wiki articles. Some of these tags can also be used in other posts.

The ability to use BB-code is set on a forum-by-forum basis by the administrator, so you should check the forum rules when you post a new message. If you do not know how to use regular BB-Codes, you should first read the forum's BB-Code FAQ.

Below is a list of the Wiki Code tags you can use to format your messages.

[top]Other Wiki BB-Codes

There are also other Wiki Codes that users can use to mark up wiki articles. Unless otherwise specified, many of these can also be used in normal forum posts.

[top][span]

The [span] tag allows you to wrap content in an inline container and apply styles to that container. Attributes and styles are separated from the content using a pipe character |
Usage [span]value[/span]
Example Usage [span] style="border: 1px dotted green; background: yellow; color: brown" | This box has a green dotted border, a yellow background, and brown text. [/span]
Example Output
This text has a green dotted border, a yellow background, and brown face.

[top][toc]

The tag [toc] can customize how an article's table of contents is displayed. Normally, the table of contents will appear below the first paragraph when there are at least four (4) sections created using [h]. It takes any number of pre-defined flags as a value, separated using |. This tag cannot be used in regular posts, and will only parse in wiki articles.
Usage [toc]value[/toc]
[toc]NO[/toc] prevents the default table of contents placement from occuring
[toc]FORCE[/toc] displays the table of contents even if there are too few sections, or even if the NO flag was used
[toc]BOOK[/toc] if the article belongs to a book, merges the other chapters into the table of contents
[toc]NONUM[/toc] removes the table of contents numbering, leaving only the bullet points
[toc][/toc] places a table of contents at the current position

[top][var]

The [var] tag allows you to include wiki page data or perform other dynamic functions in wiki content. It does nothing in regular posts.

As its value, the [var] tag takes a function name, followed by an optional text argument. These must be separated by a pipe character |

Usage [var]value[/var]
Example Usage [var]PAGENAME[/var]
[var]URLENCODE|URL Safe Text[/var]
Example Output List of Wiki Codes
URL+Safe+Text
