RAMADDA uses wiki text in a number of ways. You can create Wiki Page entries, you can style any entry using wiki text and you can also add in a Page Style metadata element that allows you to define the style used for a whole collection of entries.
Wiki Editor
RAMADDA provides a wiki text editor for use with all of the above ways of using wiki text:

Embedding Wiki Text
Many of the entries in RAMADDA have a default wiki text display. You can access this wiki text and add it to your editor by-
  • Select the Embed Entry menu
  • Select the entry of interest
  • In the dialog that pops up choose "Wiki Text". This will fetch the default wiki text for the entry and add it to your editor.

Section Collapse
The wiki editor supports collapsing sections of text with the little caret links on the left of the page. For example, here is a page:
images/collapse1.png?version=750
And collapsing after:
images/collapse2.png?version=750

Snippets
A snippet is a substring of an entry's description and is used to show a tooltip in the grid view and also used by the Twitter card functionality. A snippet is specified in a number of ways-
  • Using the "+note ... -note" or "+callout ... -callout" wiki tags:
    +note
    This is the snippet
    -note
    
    or:
    +callout-info
    This is the snippet
    -callout
    ...
    
  • By the snippet tag:
    ...
    <snippet>
    This is the snippet
    </snippet>
    ...
    
  • If you want to include a snippet but not have it show up in the RAMADDA page then use snippet-hide:
    ...
    <snippet-hide>
    The snippet
    </snippet>
    ...
