Wiki Markup Reference

You use wiki markup to create MYOB Advanced Wiki articles. When you edit the text, you view the markup and can directly manipulate it. When you view the article, the markup is hidden and the text is formatted based on your specifications in the markup.

This topic describes the text and paragraph style conventions used in wiki markup.

Paragraph Styles

You can use spacing and headings to separate and organize paragraphs. Spacing between paragraphs make the text more readable, while headings provide visual cues that help users understand the structure of the article. Other styles, such as boxes and lists, make information easier to understand and remember.

To increase spacing between paragraphs when you're editing, insert two line breaks in the wiki text. Single line breaks are ignored.

The table below includes the paragraph styles you can use in wiki articles.

Note: All the paragraph styles listed below should be used at the beginning of the line.

Table of Contents

A table of contents helps you to quickly find information if the article is lengthy or includes many headings. You insert a table of contents, which contains links to the headings within it, by placing the {TOC} string in the preferred location within the wiki text.
