Tables

A table is a little more sophisticated, but still pretty easy. Note that tables do not require a heading, the #Heading tag is optional.

Heading 1 Heading with markup Heading 3
1. More text 1 More text 2 More text 3
2. This text spans over multiple cells.
And yet more text In multiple columns. 

#Heading
  |
  | Heading 1
  | Heading /with/ markup
  | Heading 3
#Row
  | #
  | More text 1
  | More text 2
  | More text 3
#Row
  | # ||| This text spans over multiple cells.
#Row
  || And yet more text
  || In multiple columns.

Preformatted text

If you want to show some text that is not modified by the Wiki, you mark it as such. For example:
== This is not changed into a header ==
You can also embed code and preserve indent:
    def link(self, text):
        text = text[1:-1]
        pos = text.find(' ')
        if pos == -1:
            url     = escape(text)
            caption = url


Lists

A simple numbered list:

  1. Line 1
  2. Second one
  3. Another one.

# Line 1
# Second one
# Another one.

Unnumbered list:

  • Yes yes
  • This may work.
  • It might also not work.

* Yes yes
* This may work.
* It might also not work.

As you might have seen in the table example above, you can also use tables as lists. Cells that contain only a hash ("#") are automatically replaced by a counter. For example:

1. Name: Samuel
2. Last Name: Abels
3. Homepage: http://debain.org
4. Email: Look here 

#Row
  | # | Name:         | Samuel
#Row
  | # | Last Name:    | Abels
#Row
  | # | Homepage:     | [http://debain.org]
#Row
  | # | Email:        | Look [http://debain.org/about/ here]
