Syntax and Usage

Here is the demo picture:

<text>

Similar to <nowiki>text</nowiki>, but linebreaks are preserved (replaced by <br/> in the output, but head and tail linebreaks are trimmmed)

<text>
(Line 1) This is a **long** //long// __long__ long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long sentence.
(Line 2) This is a **long** //long// __long__ long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long sentence.
 
(Line 4) This is a **long** //long// __long__ long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long sentence.
</text>

<TEXT>

Adds a box like <code>, but long text is auto wrapped.

<TEXT>
(Line 1) This is a **long** //long// __long__ long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long sentence.
(Line 2) This is a **long** //long// __long__ long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long sentence.
 
(Line 4) This is a **long** //long// __long__ long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long sentence.
</TEXT>

<code> <file>

This plugin adds a “plaintext” style for wrapped text, so you can use it in <code> or <file> box.

<file plaintext>
(Line 1) This is a **long** //long// __long__ long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long sentence.
(Line 2) This is a **long** //long// __long__ long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long sentence.
 
(Line 4) This is a **long** //long// __long__ long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long sentence.
</file>

Discussion

How is this different than…

indenting two spaces?

using <file> tags?

using <code> tags?

The text inside <text> is wrapped and is not monospace. — danny0838 2013/03/19 03:41
