Formatting

With the exception of HTML, everything in Textile Reference can be used to format help pages.

Textile is a simple text markup. Simple symbols mark words’ emphasis. Blocks of text can be easily tagged as headers, quotes, or lists.

Common Modifiers

The following is a list of the commonly used Textile modifiers for marking up the wiki. To experiment, please use the Sandbox.

Links to Other Wiki Pages

The wiki is made up of many areas (see Introduction to the Wiki). All links are automatically turned into URLs with capitalized words separated by underscores.

To link within an area (such as customize.org/rainlendar/help), use single brackets:

  [How to Create Rainlendar Skins]

To link to an area other than the current one, use double brackets:

  [[Using Help]]

  [[winamp3/How to use winamp skins]]

Note: In the edit view, curly braces get converted to brackets so we can demonstrate the syntax in the normal view.

Links to External Pages

To link to a page outside of the wiki are automatically relative to http://customize.org unless the full path is given:

  Customize.org News

  another cool news site

Turn into Customize.org News and another cool news site

Headers

To use different sizes of text, use h1 through to h6. A blank line must follow the “header” to take effect. Note that because the page title is h1 you should generally use h2 as your largest heading.

  h1. Largest header

h6. Smallest header

Largest header

Smallest header
