Most content on this website (blogs, blog comments, wiki pages, user profiles) is rendered using the Seam Text engine. If you are creating content, it helps to know a few simple tricks.

Basic formatting

You can emphasize words using emphasis, underline, strikeout or superscript. 

You can emphasize words using
*emphasis*, _underline_, ~strikeout~ or ^superscript^.

But if you really want to type a special character such as * or +, you need to escape it with a \. 

But if you really want to type a special character
such as \* or \+, you need to escape it with a \\.

Alternatively, you can use special characters freely inside monospace text. 

Alternatively, you can use special characters freely
inside |monospace text|.

Block formatting

Of course, you can also use inline quotes.

And block quotes.

And split text across several paragraphs. 

Of course, you can also use "inline quotes".

"And block quotes."

And split text across several paragraphs.

You can create

  • unorderedlists
  • of stuff
  • like this

or

  1. numbered lists
  2. of other things
You can create
= unordered lists
= of stuff
= like this

or

# numbered lists
# of other things

Code Blocks

A third option for embedding text that uses special characters is to use a code block, delimited by 

backticks
. For example: 

`for (int i=0; i<100; i++) {
   log.info("Hello world!");
}`

Here is a first-level heading

Here is a normal paragraph.

Here is a second-level heading

And another paragraph. 

+ Here is a first-level heading

Here is a normal paragraph.

++ Here is a second-level heading

And another paragraph.

The wiki has powerful handling for links.

HTML links to http://hibernate.org or attach the link to some link text. My e-mail address will be automatically protected. 

HTML links to [=>http://hibernate.org] or attach the
link to [some link text=>http://hibernate.org].
My [e-mail address=>mailto:foo@bar.tld] will be
automatically protected.

Internal wiki links simply use area and document/file names:

  • Link to another document: [=>My Document]
  • Link to another document with link text: [A document=>My Document]
  • Link to another document in another area: [=>Another Area|My Document]
  • Link to an uploaded file or image: [=>My Upload]

You can even link to a Hibernate JIRA issue, or a Seam JIRA issue. 

You can even link to a [Hibernate JIRA issue=>hhh://2702],
or a [Seam JIRA issue=>jbseam://1920].

Embedded HTML

You can even use many HTML tags directly, but not tags that would create a security vulnerability!
