h1. MojoMojo Cheatsheet

In MojoMojo, you can write wiki pages using HTML and one of two popular "lightweight markup languages":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_markup_language: Textile and Markdown. While you must currently choose between Textile and Markdown when creating your wiki, HTML is always available, for a few "good reasons":http://www.fileformat.info/news/2005/03/04/humane_text_formats.htm.

h2. Choosing between Textile2 and MultiMarkdown

"Textile2":http://bradchoate.com/mt/docs/mtmanual_textile2.html is an extension to Textile. "MultiMarkdown":http://fletcherpenney.net/multimarkdown/users_guide/multimarkdown_syntax_guide/ is an extension to "Markdown":http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax, adding support for

Textile2 can't render blockquotes in lists because the "bq." block signature requires being surrounded by blank lines, and blank lines break lists:

First,

bq.
Avoid problems, and you'll never be the one who overcame them. -- Richard Bach
Second,
bq.
There is no elevator to success. You have to take the stairs.
"Markdown's documentation":http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#list explicitly tells how to "put a blockquote within a list item".
Generally, Markdown is more powerful, and Textile is simpler. The most common differences between them are:

link syntax * Textile: "Link text":http://example.com * Markdown: [Link text](http://example.com)

emphasis * Textile: *bold, _italic_ * Markdown: *italic ('em'), *bold* ('strong')

both Textile2 and MultiMarkdown have a syntax for "definition lists":http://fletcherpenney.net/multimarkdown/users_guide/multimarkdown_syntax_guide/#definitionlists but MojoMojo currently doesn't support the MultiMarkdown syntax.

backslash-escaping: Textile can't escape characters (you have to use their HTML code, e.g. @*@ for a '*'. In Markdown, you just write *

auto-hyperlinking: * Textile automatically hyperlinks URLs * Markdown: you need to enclose the URL in angle brackets: <http://mojomojo.org>

To switch MojoMojo to use MultiMarkdown, run this one-liner in the MojoMojo directory:
bc. perl -Ilib -MMojoMojo -e'MojoMojo->pref("main_formatter", "MojoMojo::Formatter::Markdown")'
