==== begin the example ====

Unlike the usual URL links, such as HTTP, FTP, mailto, etc, Gemini links will now ⁶⁾ 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 ⁷⁾

  conf/scheme.local.conf

  gemini
  

  • SDF wiki search results for "gemini://" indicates that wiki_authoring was the only page affected.

==== end of the example ====

It is possible to link to a headline that is omitted from the Table of Contents.

A pagename that is saved in the wiki playground ns can display nonexistent wiki pagename links, unless a colon is used.

1. Links within the DokuWiki playground namespace.
   1. This wiki authoring link ⁸⁾ is green when viewed from the playground namespace.

      A link with `[[:`

      This [[:wiki_authoring|wiki authoring]] link is green when viewed from the playground namespace.

   2. This wiki authoring link ⁹⁾ is red when viewed from the playground namespace.

      A link with `[[`

      This [[wiki_authoring|wiki authoring]] link is red when viewed from the playground namespace.

2. A red pagename link ¹⁰⁾ example.

   nonexistent pagename

   //a topic that doesn't exist yet//\\

===== Plan 9 pages =====

This section provides links to some SDF Wiki Plan 9 abaco, or mothra, browser pagesource examples ^{11) 12)}.

Some of the Text to Image Conversions do not work well with the abaco, or mothra, browsers.

1. View the CAUTION headline with the abaco browser to demonstrate the broken Text to Image Conversions.
   1. Impression: inspiring

      abaco CAUTION:

      [:!:] CAUTION [:!:] CAUTION [:!:] CAUTION [:!:]

2. View the CAUTION headline with the mothra browser to demonstrate the broken Text to Image Conversions.
   1. Impression: uninspiring

      mothra CAUTION:

      [img: https://wiki.sdf.org/lib/images/smileys/exclaim.svg: unknown image type]
      CAUTION[img: https://wiki.sdf.org/lib/images/smileys/exclaim.svg: unknown image type]

The supported ordered and unordered lists will look different when viewed with the abaco, or mothra, browsers.

The supported Tables can work well while the headers may work differently when viewed with the abaco, or mothra, browsers.

1. View the Plan 9, plan9front, Boot Camp headline with the abaco browser to demonstrate the tables, rows, and headers.
