Wacko Formatting Plugin

Categories: Renderer Plugins, 2.x & above, 3.x (incomplete list), 4.x (incomplete list), 5.x, Bundled plugin, 6.x, 7.x
Bundled plugin: If you're using a b2evolution version that supports this plugin, it is already in your plugins folder. There is no need to download it. If it is not installed yet, simply click "Install new" in your plugin list.

The Wacko is a simple renderer plugin that provides Wacko style formatting. This allows for easy markup/formatting, even on collections that do not allow HTML.

This is deprecated. We recommend using the MarkDown syntax with the Markdown Plugin instead.

Supported Wacko Formatting Syntax

Headlines

The following examples create headlines ("<h2>Text</h2>" through "<h6>Text</h6>"):

== Heading 2 ==
=== Heading 3 ===
==== Heading 4 ====
===== Heading 5 =====
====== Heading 6 ======

Typing the above you will get this:

<h2>Heading 2</h2>
<h3>Heading 3</h3>
<h4>Heading 4</h4>
<h5>Heading 5</h5>
<h6>Heading 6</h6>

Horizontal rulers

The following creates a horizontal line (<hr />):

---

Translates into:

<hr />

Lists

You can create bullet list just by starting your lines with 2 spaces and a star. Add another 2 spaces before the star to create an indented sublist.

  * Level 1
  * Level 1
    * Level 2
      * Level 3
  * Level 1 again

Translates into:

<ul>
  <li>Level 1</li>
  <li>Level 1
    <ul>
      <li>Level 2
        <ul>
          <li>Level 3</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li>Level 1 again</li>
</ul>

Code blocks

The following creates a code block. The text gets wrapped in <pre> and `` html tags. This is useful for PHP code for example, although you may find that the Code Highlight Plugin is better suited for that purpose.

<pre class="line-numbers"><code class="language-markup">[codeblock lang="markup" line="1"] #code goes here[/code block]

Result: (type the above without the space between words "code" and "block" at the closing tag)

<pre class="line-numbers">
  <code>#code goes here

</pre></code></pre>
