Markdown Editor

You can use the Markdown editor to edit wiki pages. You can find some Markdown tips on the right-hand side. You can see the various options for editing a page in the toolbar as soon as you edit a document.

Text input and formatting #

Headings #

The paragraph formats are particularly interesting, especially the headings (H). These are automatically displayed and linked in the right-hand margin if Heading 1 (#), Heading 2 (##) or Heading 3 (###) is selected as the format.

Enumerations #

The enumerations can be started with a minus (-), asterisk ( * ) or numbers (1.). Pressing Enter causes a new bullet point to appear in the next line.

Press the “Tab” button to indent the bullet point. This function can be repeated several times to structure lists better and make them clearer:

• 1st level
  • 2nd level
    • 3rd level
  • 2nd level
• 1st level

Code #

The symbol ensures that all line breaks, indents and spaces are retained.

Insert links #

Link wiki pages #

+

You can use the plus symbol to create a link to a new or existing page. Double square brackets are then created in the text. In between, insert the title of the desired page, e.g. [[example page]].

You can enter a page title that does not yet exist in the category. If you then click on the link, a new page will open with this title, which you can edit and save.

Insert external links #

<a href="

Links can be easily created using the chain symbol .

The title of the link is in the square brackets ([]) and the link is inserted in the round brackets.

Integrate images, videos and documents #

You can use the image icon to insert a public image, video or document via a link. The ! indicates that the image, video or document is displayed directly and not just the link to it.

<a href="

Another function is the upload icon. You can use it to upload your own image, video or document and display it directly in the text.

If you want to edit the size of an image, you can simply change the following parameters (w = width, h = height) in the link:

/images/2356/d3305d4b8499b99189c11885e360958c70092b21fdda696d1f8c4beb87d9d237?fit=max&fm=jpeg&h=0&w=940

Create tables #

You create a new table using this symbol. You can add columns and rows to this table as required.

Unfortunately, tables in Markdown do not work as well as in HTML. If you still want to work with tables in Markdown, you can use this tool: tablesgenerator

If you work a lot with tables in the wiki, please use the HTML editor instead.

Preview and page to page switching #

The preview is hidden behind the eye symbol
. This allows you to see how your edited page will look when saved.

The table symbol takes you to the side-by-side view and you can see how the page will look when saved while you are making changes.
