Wiki Authoring Tips

URL Schemes

URL Schemes: www.dokuwiki.org/urlschemes

Unlike the usual URL links, such as HTTP, FTP, mailto, etc, Gemini links will now3) don't work in the SDF wiki, because it appears to not understand the protocol (which makes sense, Gemini is now not widely accepted yet at SDF) but if you don't surround a gemini link in the link markup syntax with double brackets, dokuwiki will consider // as “start italics” and mess up your document.

so if you type [[gemini://gem.sdf.org]] inline in wiki markup, it will render as

gemini://gem.sdf.org

but if you just type the url straight, as gemini://gem.sdf.org, it will be displayed as:

gemini://gem.sdf.org

headline level
