+[[doku>DokuWiki]] supports some simple markup language, which tries to make the datafiles to be as readable as possible. This page contains all possible syntax you may use when editing the pages. Simply have a look at the source of this page by pressing "Edit this page". If you want to try something, just use the [[playground:playground|playground]] page. The simpler markup is easily accessible via [[doku>toolbar|quickbuttons]], too.
-There are two supported formats:
-. github flavoured [markdown](https://github.github.com/gfm/).
-. dokuwiki syntax, which is described below on this page.
-You can mix both, of these, and dokuwiki will parse it as best as it can. For this wiki, we prefer markdown, but much of the content is still in dokuwiki syntax from before markdown was supported.

-In addition to the default syntax, we have a couple dokuwiki [plugins that add some styling](syntax#syntax_plugins) options.

-A couple useful plugin-added formatting options to note:
-### Alerts
-Added by [mikio plugin](https://github.com/nomadjimbob/mikioplugin/wiki/), alerts come in `danger`, `warning`, `primary`, `secondary`, `success`, `info`, `light`, `dark`.
-`<alert danger> something to be careful about </alert>`
-<alert danger> something to be careful about </alert>
-### Metadata
-[This plugin](https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:meta) allows you to edit the page metadata in the page contents. Syntax is:
-```
-~~META:
-key = value
-~~
-```
-This was added to allow pages to set custom titles. Without it, page titles will be the first header found on the page. An example where we use it is https://vanhack.ca/wiki/start where the title would be `Vancouver Hack Space - Vancouver Hack Space`, following the pattern `wikititle - pagetitle`, but we override the page title in the document using the meta plugin to be "Wiki Home"
