Markup concepts introduction

PmWiki markup can be applied to 'blocks' of text, and to text 'lines'. PmWiki markup is also used to read and save page, group, and wiki metadata through the use of variables. PmWiki markup can be used to process metadata variables though expressions and pagelists. PmWiki provides a wiki style markup that can be applied to text, lists, paragraphs, and blocks.

Text markup, also known as wikitext is variable, see below, and in general broadly follows wiki conventions. Text markup only applies to single lines of text, delimited by a newline.

Block markup is applied to multiple lines of text as paragraph blocks and division blocks.

In PmWiki the most important markup is the directive. The directive is signified by parenthesis and a colon, viz: (:...:). The directive provides most of PmWiki's functionality.

Markup expressions {(...)}, variable markup {$...}, and wiki styles %...% also provide PmWiki functionality.

\\\ at the end of a line produces a blank line, even within a list item, n backslashes will produce n-1 blank lines

[[<<]] produces a line break that clears floating content
