(:nl:)(:Summary: Predefined PmWiki styles & adding custom wiki styles:)

(:Audience: administrators (intermediate) :) This page describes the predefined Wiki Styles and how a Wiki Administrator can define additional Wiki Styles as a local customization for all pages (in local/config.php) or specific groups (in local/$Group.php).

All predefined Wiki Styles are setup in the global array $WikiStyle. To define your own Wiki Styles, add the setting of the correspondent WikiStyle within the array.

Predefined Wiki Styles

The following array-values are set by scripts/wikistyles.php using the SDV()-function (so you can overwrite them by setting them prior in config.php or farmconfig.php):

markup:	definition:
<<?'''text colors:'''	(equivalent to `%define=xxxx color=xxxx%`)
`black`	`$WikiStyle['black']['color'] = 'black';`
`white`	`$WikiStyle['white']['color'] = 'white';`
`red`	`$WikiStyle['red']['color'] = 'red';`
`yellow`	`$WikiStyle['yellow']['color'] = 'yellow';`
`blue`	`$WikiStyle['blue']['color'] = 'blue';`
`gray`	`$WikiStyle['gray']['color'] = 'gray';`
`silver`	`$WikiStyle['silver']['color'] = 'silver';`
`maroon`	`$WikiStyle['maroon']['color'] = 'maroon';`
`green`	`$WikiStyle['green']['color'] = 'green';`
`navy`	`$WikiStyle['navy']['color'] = 'navy';`
`purple`	`$WikiStyle['purple']['color'] = 'purple';`
<<?'''list-styles:'''
`decimal`	`$WikiStyle['decimal']['apply'] = 'list';`<<?`$WikiStyle['decimal']['list-style'] = 'decimal';`
`roman`	`$WikiStyle['roman']['apply'] = 'list';`<<?`$WikiStyle['roman']['list-style'] = 'lower-roman';`
`ROMAN`	`$WikiStyle['ROMAN']['apply'] = 'list';`<<?`$WikiStyle['ROMAN']['list-style'] = 'upper-roman';`
`alpha`	`$WikiStyle['alpha']['apply'] = 'list';`<<?`$WikiStyle['alpha']['list-style'] = 'lower-alpha';`
`ALPHA`	`$WikiStyle['ALPHA']['apply'] = 'list';`<<?`$WikiStyle['ALPHA']['list-style'] = 'upper-alpha';`
<<?'''special:'''
open links in a new browser-window:
`newwin`	`$WikiStyle['newwin']['target'] = '_blank';`
Turns markup into a comment via display:none CSS
`comment`	`$WikiStyle['comment']['display'] = 'none';`
<<?'''wiki styles'''
`frame`	border:1px solid #cccccc; padding:4px; background-color:#f9f9f9;
`lfloat`	float:left; margin-right:0.5em;
`rfloat`	float:right; margin-left:0.5em;
`thumb`
`lframe`	frame lfloat
`rframe`	frame rfloat
`cframe`
`pre`	block white-space:pre
`sidehead`	block class:sidehead

Author-Defined Wiki Styles

# The first index of the array defines the style name (e.g. mynewstyle, projectentry etc) # the second index defines the attribute name (e.g. color, background-color, etc.) # the value set defines the attribute value (e.g. red, bold, #00ffcc, etc.)

'''Sample:''' If you want to define a (site-wide) style the same as the page style ->%define=projectentry color:red% use ->$WikiStyle['projectentry']['color'] = 'red';

The $WikiStyle['projectentry']['apply'] variable may be defined if the wikistyle concerns a particular tag. It may be @@'item' (for li|dt), 'list' (for ul|ol|dl), 'div', 'pre', 'img', 'p'@@ or the combining @@'block' (for p|div|ul|ol|dl|li|dt|pre|h[1-6])@@. Example:

 $WikiStyle['top']['apply'] = 'item';
 $WikiStyle['top']['class'] = 'top';

then a markup

 * %top% An important list-item

will output

 <li class="top">An important list-item</li>

Printer-Friendly Styles

If your custom-styles (in local/config.php) are getting very colorful it might be useful to disable them in print-view. This can be done easily by putting them into a condition.

if($action!="print") {
  // your custom-styles
}

FAQ

>>faq<< Q: I tried this but background didn't work, though border and float worked?

$WikiStyle['vMenu']['background']='#ffffcc' ;
$WikiStyle['vMenu']['float']='left' ;
$WikiStyle['vMenu']['border']='1px dotted red' ;

A: Try using $WikiStyle['vMenu']['background-color']='#ffffcc'; -- unlike @@background@@, @@background-color@@ is defined in the $WikiStyleCSS array, which is checked for valid properties.

Q: How would I set an image to the left of a paragraph in a WikiStyle? I'd like to provide an icon for paragraphs that are notes, important, warnings, etc.

A: See WikiStylesPlus and Callout.

Q:How can I remove underlining from a link, but make it underlined blue when the mouse hovers?

A:Put in pub/css/local.css:

 .noul a {text-decoration: none;}
 .noul a:hover {text-decoration: underline; color: blue;}

Then use this markup:

  %noul% [[Link]] %%
