IntroductionPragmasWiki-style markupParagraphsTypefaceCodeHeadingsDividersListsQuotingLinksInternal wiki links? to project committers and owners. Clicking that link will take you to the page creation form where you can enter content for that page.
Each wiki page is stored in a .wiki file under the /wiki directory in a project's repository. Each file's name is the same as the wiki page name. And, each wiki file consists of optional pragma lines followed by the content of the page.
Optional pragma lines provide metadata about the page and how it should be displayed. These lines are only processed if they appear at the top of the file. Each pragma line begins with a pound-sign (#) and the pragma name, followed by a value.
Pragma | Value |
#summary | One-line summary of the page |
#labels | Comma-separated list of labels (filled in automatically via the web UI) |
#sidebar | See Side navigation |
Use one or more blank lines to separate paragraphs.

italic | _italic_ |
bold | *bold* |
code | `code` |

superscript | ^super^script |
subscript | ,,sub,,script |

You can mix these typefaces in some ways:
Markup | Result |
_*bold* in italics_ | bold in italics |
*_italics_ in bold* | italics in bold |
*~~strike~~ works too* | strike works too |

If you have a multiline code block that you want to display verbatim, use the multiline code delimiter:
{{{ def fib(n): if n == 0 or n == 1: return n else: # This recursion is not good for large numbers. return fib(n-1) + fib(n-2) }}}
Which results in:
def fib(n): if n == 0 or n == 1: return n else: # This recursion is not good for large numbers. return fib(n-1) + fib(n-2)
= Heading = == Subheading == === Level 3 === ==== Level 4 ==== ===== Level 5 ===== ====== Level 6 ======
Four or more dashes on a line by themselves results in a horizontal rule.
Google Code wikis support both bulleted and numbered lists. A list must be indented at least one space to be recognized as such. You can also nest lists one within the other by appropriate use of indenting:
The following is: * A list * Of bulleted items # This is a numbered sublist # Which is done by indenting further * And back to the main bulleted list * This is also a list * With a single leading space * Notice that it is rendered # At the same levels # As the above lists. * Despite the different indentation levels.
The following is:
- A list
- Of bulleted items
- This is a numbered sublist
- Which is done by indenting further
- And back to the main bulleted list
- This is also a list
- With a single leading space
- Notice that it is rendered
- At the same levels
- As the above lists.
- Despite the different indentation levels.
Block quotes place emphasis on a particular extract of text in your page. Block quotes are created by indenting a paragraph by at least one space:
Someone once said: This sentence will be quoted in the future as the canonical example of a quote that is so important that it should be visually separate from the rest of the text in which it appears.

Links are central to the wiki principle, as they create the web of content. Google Code wiki permits both internal (within the wiki) and external links, and in some cases automatically creates a link when it recognizes either a WikiWord or an URL.
Internal links within a wiki are created using the syntax below. If you add a wiki link to a page that does not exist, the link will appear with a LittleLink
If you are not logged in, wiki links that point to non-existent pages will appear as plain text, without the link to the page creation form. When you create the target page, the link will become a normal hyperlink for all viewers of the page.
WikiSyntax is identified and linked automatically Wikipage is not identified, so if you have a page named [Wikipage] you need to link it explicitly. If the WikiSyntax page is actually about reindeers, you can provide a description, so that people know you're actually linking to a page on [WikiSyntax reindeer flotillas]. If you want to mention !WikiSyntax without it being autolinked, use an exclamation mark to prevent linking.

Links to anchors within a pageWikiSyntax#Wiki-style_markup.
Each heading defines a HTML anchor with the same name as the heading, but with spaces replaced by underscores. You can create a link to a specific heading on a page like this:
[WikiSyntax#Wiki-style_markup]
And it will render as:
Links to external pageshttp://www.google.com/ or ftp://ftp.kernel.org/ are automatically made into links.
You can of course link to external pages from your own wiki pages, using a syntax similar to that for internal links:
Plain URLs such as http://www.google.com/ or ftp://ftp.kernel.org/ are automatically made into links. You can also provide some descriptive text. For example, the following link points to the [http://www.google.com Google home page]. If your link points to an image, it will get inserted as an image tag into the page: http://code.google.com/images/code_sm.png You can also make the image into a link, by setting the image URL as the description of the URL you want to link: [http://code.google.com/ http://code.google.com/images/code_sm.png]

If your link points to an image (that is, if it ends in .png, .gif, .jpg or .jpeg), it will get inserted as an image into the page:

If the image is produced by a server-side script, you may need to add a nonsense query string parameter to the end so that the URL ends with a supported image filename extension.

Tables are created by entering the content of each cell separated by || delimiters. You can insert other inline wiki syntax in table cells, including typeface formatting and links.

To aid in the presentation of a wiki page there is some support for HTML. HTML tags are only supported in wiki pages, not in page comments.
HTML syntax can be used in conjunction with wiki syntax, but it is recommended against doing so where possible.
The following HTML tags and attributes are currently supported:
HTML Tag | Supported Attributes |
---|---|
a | title dir lang href |
b | title dir lang |
br | title dir lang |
blockquote | title dir lang |

[1] The language attribute of the code tag is the file extension of the language used in the code block. It is used as a hint for the syntax highlighter.
When you want to display html tags directly on your wiki page (as opposed to rendered), you will need to escape each HTML tag.
HTML tags can be escaped as shown in the table below:
Markup | Result |
---|---|
`<hr>` | <hr> |
{{{<hr>}}} | <hr> |
The wiki supports embedded comments to help explain the contents of a wiki page. Anything inside the comment block is removed from the rendered page, but is visible when editing or viewing the source for that page.
<wiki:comment> This text will be removed from the rendered page. </wiki:comment>
You can embed
<wiki:gadget url="http://example.com/gadget.xml" height="200" border="0" />
Valid attributes are:
- url: the URL of the gadget
- width: the width of the gadget
- height: the height of the gadget
- title: a title to display above the gadget
- border: "0" or "1", whether to draw a border around the gadget
- up_*: Gadget user preference parameters
- caja: "0" or "1", whether to use Caja to render the gadget. Caja helps protect users from malicious or accidental errors in third party gadgets.
WorkingWithGoogleGadgets describes how to create gadgets for Google Code. It also provides a few helpful suggestions that can make it easier to publish gadgets and to integrate with other Google products such as iGoogle.
InterestingDeveloperGadgets shows some sample gadgets you may want to include on your project pages.

You can embed videos with the following syntax:
<wiki:video url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LkNlTNHZzE"/>
Valid attributes are:
- url: the URL of the video
- width: the width of the embedded video
- height: the height of the embedded video
Right now we support videos from Youtube and Google Video, but other containers can be added to our
NavigationTable of ContentsSide navigationdoctype project uses the sidebar extensively across its wiki.
An inline table of contents can be generated from page headers on a wiki page. Add the following syntax to a page in the location the table of contents should be displayed:
<wiki:toc max_depth="1" />
Valid attributes are:
- max_depth: the maximum header depth to display in the table of contents
You can specify the sidebar for a wiki page by selecting another wiki page that defines your side navigation. The
One way of adding a sidebar is by setting the #sidebar pragma, as shown below. Alternatively, the sidebar pragma can be left blank if no side navigation is desired.
#sidebar TableOfContents |
The side navigation that is defined should be in the format of a simple list, as shown below.
* [Articles HOWTO articles] * [ArticlesXSS Web security] * [ArticlesDom DOM manipulation] * [ArticlesStyle CSS and style] * [ArticlesTips Tips and tricks] * [DOMReference DOM reference] * [HTMLElements HTML reference] * [CSSReference CSS reference]
A default sidebar page can also be specified for all wiki pages by project owners through the Wiki settings in the Administer tab. If a #sidebar pragma is also specified, it will take precedence on the page.
Localizing Wiki ContentCreative Commons Attribution 3.0 License. User-generated content is not included in this license.
Along with the default language for the wiki, which can be set through the Wiki settings in the Administer tab, additional languages are also supported. If more than one language is available, based on a user's language preference (e.g. browser language), the wiki will try to serve the page for the appropriate language. If no wiki page exists for that language, it will fall back to the default language. Comments, however, are shared amongst all translations of a wiki page.
New translations for a page cannot be added through the web interface and have to be added through the Subversion repository.
To add a translation of a page, first checkout the wiki from Subversion:
svn checkout https://yourproject.googlecode.com/svn/wiki/ yourdirectory -username yourusername
Then create a new directory under /wiki/ using the two letter ISO-639 code as the name of that directory. Place all translated files in the new directory and submit those changes to the Subversion repository.
The following is an example of a valid wiki directory:
wiki/ ja/ ProjectHistory.wiki StyleGuide.wiki zh-Hans/ ProjectHistory.wiki StyleGuide.wiki zh-Hant/ ProjectHistory.wiki StyleGuide.wiki ProjectHistory.wiki StyleGuide.wiki
Once the files been be submitted to the project's subversion repository, they can now be edited through the wiki's web editor. The process for Mercurial repositories is the same, except that the wiki lives in the root directory (not wiki/) of https://wiki.yourproject.googlecode.com/hg/.
Note: The wiki accepts a subset of ISO-639 two letter language codes, where a few of the codes (such as zh_Hans) contain locale-specific codes. Such locale-specific codes should use a hyphen (zh-Hans) separator. A few example language codes have been specified in the table below.
