It is easy to collaborate: just type in your text. You don't need to know HTML at all, though you can use it if you prefer. Links to topics will be created automatically, as long as you follow these simple Text Formatting Rules.

Note: Each tag must be on a line by itself.

void purr() {

Note: In case you have a long row and you want it to be more readable when you edit the table you can split the row into lines that end with a '\' backslash character.

WikiWord Links:
CapitalizedWordsStuckTogether (or WikiWords) will produce a link automatically.
Note: In case you want to link to a topic in a different FS web write Webname.TopicName.
|
WebNotify
Know.ReadmeFirst
|
WebNotify
ReadmeFirst?
|
Forced Links:
You can create a forced internal link by enclosing words in double square brackets.
Note: Text within the brackets may contain optional spaces; the topic name is formed by capitalizing the initial letter and by removing the spaces; i.e. [[text formatting FAQ]] links to topic TextFormattingFAQ. You can also refer to a different web and use anchors.

Specific Links:
Create a link where you can specify the link text and the link reference separately, using nested square brackets like [[reference][text]]. Internal link references (i.e. WikiSyntax) and external link references (i.e. http://TWiki.org/) are supported. The same Forced Links rules apply for internal link references. Anchor names can be added as well, like [[WebHome#MyAnchor][go home]] and [[http://www.yahoo.com/#somewhere][Yahoo!]].

[[WikiSyntax][syntax]]
[[http://gnu.org][GNU]]

|
Anchors:
You can define a link reference inside a FS topic (called an anchor name) and link to that. To define an anchor write #AnchorName at the beginning of a line. The anchor name must be a WikiWord. To link to an anchor name use the [[MyTopic#MyAnchor]] syntax. You can omit the topic name if you want to link within the same topic.
|
[[WebHome#NotThere]]
[[#MyAnchor][Jump]]
#MyAnchor To here
|
WebHome#NotThere
Jump
To here
|
Prevent a Link:
Prevent a WikiWord from being linked by prepending it with the <nop> tag.
|
<nop>SunOS

Most HTML tags will work, but it's almost always preferable not to use HTML, so that the markup remains easy for everyone to edit.
Being able to create links without any formatting required is a core TWiki feature, made possible using
. With the latest version of TWiki linking rules, a simple extension of the syntax provides an new set of flexible linking options.
Variables are names that are enclosed in percent signs; they get expanded on the fly.
