Tips and tricks on spicing up your text
Bold and italic
To make text stand out you can add bold or Italic styling.
If you add // before and after text:
//italic// becomes italic
If you add ** before and after text:
**bold** becomes bold
If you add **// both before and after text:
**//bold italic//** becomes bold italic
External hyperlinks
To add links in text that go outside of the site type the URL like:
http://www.doenculture.com becomes www.doenculture.com
If you add brackets and text to the URL the text will display instead of the hyperlink:
[http://www.doenculture Click here] becomes Click here
If you would like to embed an email address so that when a user clicks it automatically opens their mail server. Enclose your email address in brackets and add text to the end of the URL. It will display as follows:
[mailto:desk@mediamatic.nl Mail Mediamatic] becomes and is not readable for spam robots.
Or simply type:
mailto:desk@mediamatic.nl becomes and is not readable for spam robots.
Internal links
You may want to link to other pages in the website to do this you do not need the full URL.
Linking from one page to another page is made by using a unique number, also known as an id. Open the page that you want to link to, look at the URL to see what number the page has.
Example: http://www.doenculture.com/1316 The unique number (id) here is '1316'.
You can now make the link like this:
((1316| DOEN Culture))
becomes:
DOEN Culture
Headings and subheadings
Make headings and subheadings by using the +sign. One + gives a large heading, three times + gives a subheading. Don’t forget to use a space after the last +.
+ Example of a heading 1
becomes:
Example of a heading 1
++ Example of a heading 2
becomes:
Example of a heading 2
+++ Example of a heading 3
becomes:
Example of a heading 3
Other formatting codes
---- four stripes
becomes:
a line over the full width of the page
Lists and numbering
You can make lists using the # and * to make lists or numberings.
# Japan
# Bulgary
# Israël
becomes a list with automatic numbering:
1. Japan
2. Bulgary
3. Israël
Blockquotes / quotes
If you would like to make a block of text appear like a quote add > on both sides of the text:
> aber irgendwer muss diesen job ja machen und deshalb kann es
> nicht ändern . ich könnte dem text höchstens ein bisschen gut
> zureden, dass er auch als platzhalter eine wichtige rolle spielt und
> durchaus gebraucht wird.
becomes:
aber irgendwer muss diesen job ja machen und deshalb kann ich es
nicht ändern . ich könnte dem text höchstens ein bisschen gut
zureden, dass er auch als platzhalter eine wichtige rolle spielt und
durchaus gebraucht wird.
Tables
If you’d like to add tables of information to your text:
|| Cell 1|| Cell 2 ||
|| Cell 3|| Cell 4 ||
becomes:
| Cell 1 | Cell 2 |
| Cell 3 | Cell 4 |
||< left||= center||> right ||
||< The quick brown||= fox jumps over||> the lazy dog. ||
becomes:
| left | center | right |
| The quick brown | fox jumps over | the lazy dog. |
