HTML Tags
The following HTML tags (both upper and lower case) are automatically converted to Wiki Markup when you save an edited page. (These are useful primarily for cutting and pasting HTML.)
- <i> ... </i> becomes '' ... ''
- <b> ... </b> becomes ''' ... '''
- <em> ... </em> becomes '~ ... ~'
- <strong> ... </strong> becomes '* ... *'
- <sup> ... </sup> becomes '^ ... ^'
- <sub> ... </sub> becomes '_ ... _'
- <br> becomes [[<]] (which also clears any floats)
- <br /> becomes [[<]] (which also clears any floats)
- <p> and </p> become double linefeeds
- <a href="url">text</a> becomes [[url|text]] (other attributes are discarded)
- <img src="url"> becomes url (other attributes are discarded)
- <h1> ... </h1> becomes !... (with a linefeed preceeding)
Markup Conversions
The following character sequences are retained in the edit markup but converted automatically when the page is displayed:
- " ... " becomes " ... " (curly quotes)
- x'y and x'yz become x’y and x’yz (curly single quote for contractions)
- Non-standard Windows upper ASCII chars are replaced ( “ ” ‘ ’ — – … )
- Most entities are preserved, like:
— (for — M-dash)
– (for – N-dash)
“ ” (for “ ” curly double quotes)
‘ ’ (for ‘ ’ curly single quotes)
… (for … horizontal ellipsis)
&#dddd; (decimal Unicode)
&#xXXXX; (hex Unicode)
