Example

In markdown paragraphs are seperated by a blank line.

Without an empty line, a block of words will be rendered as paragraph.

Individuals words or sentences can be emphasized as monospace, bold, italic or bold and italic. Or go wild and mark or strike out words.

An Otter Wiki stores all pages in UTF-8 in a git repository. With UTF-8 you get emojis like 🥳 and 🎆, that all modern browsers can display.

Some example for links in the middle of a paragraph. A link to the otterwiki github project, followed by an auto linked url to http://example.com, followed by a mail address mailto:mail@example.com. Commonly used are links inside the wiki, e.g. one pointing Home.

Tables

A table with some formatting and an emoji.

Code blocks

Markdown is often used for documentation, so it's not a surprise that it should be excellent in displaying code and configurations. For example a minimal docker-compose.yaml for running An Otter Wiki:

version: '3'
services:
  otterwiki:
    image: redimp/otterwiki:2.0
    ports:
    - 8080:80

This and many other examples for syntax highlighting can be found in the Syntax Highlighting Examples.

List examples

Itemized lists look like

• this one
• with three
• items.

A numbered list

1. first item
2. second item
3. third item

And a task list

• a unchecked item
• and bold checked item

The task list can only be mofied by editing it, not by clicking the checkboxes while viewing it.

Math or LaTeX

If you want to share math formulas in your wiki, MathJax comes to the rescue. For example:

When \(a \ne 0\), there are two solutions to \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\) and they are
