Creole (markup)Creole is a lightweight markup language, aimed at being a common markup language for wikis, enabling and simplifying the transfer of content between different wiki engines. HistoryThe idea was conceived during a workshop at the 2006 International Symposium on Wikis.[1][2] An EBNF grammar and XML interchange format for Creole have also been published.[3][4] Creole was designed by comparing major wiki engines and using the most common markup for a particular wikitext element. If no commonality was found, the wikitext of the dominant wiki engine MediaWiki was usually chosen. On July 4, 2007, the version 1.0 (final)[5] of Creole was released, and a two-year development freeze was implemented to allow time for authors of wiki engines to adopt the new markup. Creole syntax examplesEmphasized text: //emphasized// (e.g., italics) **strongly emphasized** (e.g., bold) Lists: * Bullet list
* Second item
** Sub item
# Numbered list
# Second item
## Sub item
Links: Link to [[wikipage]]
[[link_address|link text]]
Headings: (closing equals signs are optional) = Extra-large heading == Large heading === Medium heading ==== Small heading Linebreaks: Force\\linebreak Horizontal Line: ---- Images: {{Image.jpg|title}}
Tables: |= |= table |= header |
| a | table | row |
| b | table | row |
No markup: {{{
This text will //not// be **formatted**.
}}}
Support in enginesCreole 1.0 is the default syntax in Bitbucket wikis, which also support some Creole 1.0 additions.[6] Creole 1.0 is one of the available markup languages for the online educational platform Moodle[7] and the UML rendering software PlantUML.[8] References
