How do I make a separator?

How do I create a heading?

You can create six sizes of headings - <h1>...<h6> in HTML - by typing, from the beginning of a line, three dashes (-), from one to six plus signs (+), a space, and your heading text. The FAQ questions on this page are created with: ---+++ Have a question?.

• You can insert a nested table of contents, generated from headings, by placing %TOC% wherever you like on a page (see TWikiVariables for more %TOC% options).

Text enclosed in angle brackets like <filename> is not displayed. How can I show it as it is?

TWiki interprets text as HTML. The '<' and '>' characters are used to define HTML commands. Text contained in angle brackets is interpreted by the browser if it's a valid HTML instruction, or ignored if it isn't - either way, the brackets and its contents are not displayed.

If you want to display angle brackets, enter them as HTML codes instead of typing them in directly:

How can I write fixed font text?

Text I enter gets wrapped around. How can I keep the formatting as it is?

This text will keep its format as it is:
<verbatim>
  Unit	  Price	Qty  Cost
  -------  ------  ---  ------
  aaa		 12.00	 3	36.00
</verbatim>

The pre tag is standard HTML; verbatim is a special TWiki tag that also forces text to fixed font mode, and also prevents other tags and TWiki shortcuts from being expanded.

How do I create tables?

There are three possibilities:

1. Use Wiki rule with "|" vertical bars.
2. Use HTML tables with <table>, <tr>, <td> tags.
3. Use preformatted text with <verbatim> tags.

• Example text:
  | cell A1 | cell B1 | cell C1 |
| cell A2 | cell B2 | cell C2 |
• Example output:

  cell A1	cell B1	cell C1
  cell A2	cell B2	cell C2

<table border="1">
  <tr>
	 <th> Head A  </th> <th> Head B  </th>
  </tr><tr>
	 <td> Cell A2 </td> <td> Cell B2 </td>
  </tr><tr>
	 <td> Cell A3 </td> <td> Cell B3 </td>
  </tr>
</table>

Can I include images and pictures?

Yes, this is possible. The easiest way of including images is to attach a GIF, JPG or PNG file to a topic and then to include it with text %ATTACHURL%/myImage.gif . FileAttachment has more.

There are actually two ways of including inline images.
