Text formatting markup

Description	You type	You get
Character (inline) formatting – applies anywhere
Italic text	`''italic''`	italic
Bold text	`'''bold'''`	bold
Bold and italic	`'''''bold & italic'''''`	bold & italic
Escape wiki markup	`<nowiki>no ''markup''</nowiki>`	no ''markup''
Section formatting – only at the beginning of the line
Headings of different levels	=level 1= ==level 2== ===level 3=== ====level 4==== =====level 5===== ======level 6====== An article with 4 or more headings automatically creates a table of contents.	Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5 Level 6
Horizontal rule	`----`
Bullet list	* one * two * three three point one three point two Inserting a blank line will end the first list and start another.	one two three three point one three point two
indent text	: Single indent :: Double indent ::::: Multiple indent This workaround may be controversial from the viewpoint of accessibility.	Single indent Double indent Multiple indent

Paragraphs

MediaWiki ignores single line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can force a line break within a paragraph with the HTML tags <br />.

Titles, sub-titles ...

The wiki page title (defined when creating a page) is using the first title level (h1)

So when the book content to migrate includes "paragraphs", "sub-paragraphs" ... their titles should use wiki syntax for level 2 (== title ==), level 3 (=== sub-paragraph ===) etc

bullet lists - details

Bullet list	* one * two two point one two point two * three<p>continued</p> ** three point one * four<!-- --><p>continued with "nicer" source (visually closer to actual page result)</p><!-- --><p>several continued sentences is possible</p><!-- --><p>can also be used for an image that is part of bullet point</p><!-- --><p>[[File:Blogs icon.png\|none]]</p> ** four point one Inserting a blank line will end the first list and start another. nota: there is a small bug with wiki CSS, so inside tables following text does not have proper font size ==> not a problem as should never happen in tables	one two two point one two point two three continued three point one four continued with "nicer" source (visually closer to actual page result) several continued sentences is possible can also be used for an image that is part of bullet point four point one

It is not recommended to have more than 2 nested levels of bullet lists.

If there are more than 2 bullet list levels (maybe sometimes also for 2 levels), it is recommended to change the first level of bullet list to a sub-paragraph level

Manual TOCs (table of contents)

These small manual TOCs are used in "introductory pages", eg pages with a short text introduction (or not), followed by this small manual TOC = links to pages included in this "section"

syntax:

{{Manual_TOC |
 * [[General method for cable sizing|General method for cable sizing]]
 * [[Recommended simplified approach for cable sizing|Recommended simplified approach for cable sizing]]
 * [[Sizing of busbar trunking systems (busways)|Sizing of busbar trunking systems (busways)]]
 }}

Images

The syntax is now using templates, to facilitate and standardize the formating, as shown below

Image = ONE FIGURE

{{FigImage|<fig-ID>|<fig-extension>|<fig-num>|<fig-title>}}

where:

<fig-ID> is like: DB422001 (= image file name, without the file extension)
<fig-extension> is like: svg, jpg ...
<fig-num> is like: A11, B42a ...
<fig-title> is like: Application of the diversity factor (ks) to an apartment block of 5 storeys

Giving:

Fichier:DB422002.svg

Fig. A11 – Application du facteur de simultanéité (ks) à un immeuble de 4 étages + rez-de-chaussée (correspondant à la norme NF C 14-100)

nota: <fig-title> normally is just text, and does not include any formatting, unless it is required, like to add a link inside the title
example:

{{FigImage|<fig-ID>|<fig-extension>|Circuit-breaker type <nowiki>'''[http://www.xxxxxxx Masterpact]''' from Schneider-Electric}}</nowiki>

Image = ONE FIGURE with NOTES

{{FigImage|<fig-ID>|<fig-extension>||<fig-num><fig-title>|
 add figure notes here ...<br>
 ... more
 }}

Giving:

Fichier:DB422002.svg

add figure notes here ...
... more

Fig. A11 – Application du facteur de simultanéité (ks) à un immeuble de 4 étages + rez-de-chaussée (correspondant à la norme NF C 14-100)

Image without frame and title

Syntax is very simple here:

[[File:<image-name-with-extension>]]

Giving for exemple, if integrated in a small table:

table header	header 2
	This icon is a pen icon

Table

standard table

Modèle:EIG-table

table header	header	header
This is a cell	This is a cell	This is also a cell
This is a cell	This is a cell	This is also a cell

Modèle:EIG-table-end

tables with table notes [a]

to be completed

Footnotes

to be completed

Specific French contents

Just for a small text

{{FR-specific-text|<this is the specific text>}}

this is the specific text

For a long specific section

{{FR-specific-section-start}}
this is the migrated content wich is french specific ...
... use usual syntax for wiki contents ...
....
....
{{FR-specific-section-end}}

this is the migrated content wich is french specific ...
... use usual syntax for wiki contents ...
....
....

This formatting is not 100% validated, see other tests here: Utilisateur:LMischler/TestFRSpecificFormats NOTA: also need to fully validate the syntax, depending on final format chosen. For math formulas in particular, it will be a problem if we want to use a non-white background color in the FR-specific section
