Hi If I edit 2 "*" in a wikipage all between the two is in Italic later in the view, try: This is an *asterix* example.If I check after downloading the fiel there is no XML code arround, so I think this is an interpretation of the viewer.Is there a user manual for the wiki implementation in Alfresco

Only recently stumbling on Alfresco (nice product), and curious to the markup language for the wiki was, I found that the wiki markup language is being parsed by a javascript file located at:
[tomcat/alfresco install]/webapps/share/components/wiki/parser.js

So far all they are parsing are:
- Internal links as [[link]] and [[link|link description]]
- italics as *some text*

I've started to edit this file to include more markup language, however knowing that the Alfresco team are/will work on this my question to the Alfresco team would be what markup language will you use for this? Will this mimic wikipedia or will you start doing your own? Reason being I do not want to encourage users to use my markup language (I'm mimicing some wikipedia functionality) when the next release will have it's own (and different) language…

I admit the wiki is a bit odd in it's current implementation - a mixture of wiki markup (for linking to other Share pages) and HTML for everything else.

It is something we're aware of and are going to fix in the future. We'd be looking to support Mediawiki mark-up as near as possible, but the exact details of this have yet to be decided.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi all

Thanks for feedback,
For me the current wiki is perfect as a more sophisticated readme,
with nested informations and direkt links into the doc lib.

But how I can write a "*"?

Hi all

I found a way, to get my * * * *
I commented the line in parser.js
text = this._renderEmphasizedText(text);

Now I can wait for the new wiki 😉

I think I'm going to remove that particular function from the parser on HEAD, as it doesn't seem useful.

Thanks,
Mike
