Spacing


Spacing of commands in the wiki is important because it has to guess what is going on on how to generate the code.

Spacing after many of the commands is needed so that the Wiki knows what the command is vs the use of those characters elsewhere..

Example the following:


!! Heading with some text

The text follows the heading with a blank line after it.


!! Next heading

Note that two blank lines causes lots of extra space when below

!! Next heading

There is not a lot of space.  The latter is correct.

Heading with some text


The text follows the heading with a blank line after it.


Next heading


Note that two blank lines causes lots of extra space when below

Next heading


There is not a lot of space. The latter is correct.

If you are using the Wiki properly and think things are crowded, rather than adding space, you should adjust the CSS to output what you are looking. This is especially important if you are porting pages between different sites.

Some commands like Bullets won't work if there is no space after them as in:

*No space after bullet command doesn't get seen as a bullet
* This looks like a bullet.
*No space after bullet command doesn't get seen as a bullet
  • This looks like a bullet.
