## XWiki Syntax 2.1: Advanced

## Verbatim

### 2.0 Verbatim

Allow to enter content that will not be formatted (in other words the XWiki Syntax will not be taken into account).

Feature | XWiki Syntax 2.1 | Result
--- | --- | ---
Verbatim inline | Some verbatim {{{**[[not rendered]]**}}} content | Some verbatim **[[not rendered]]** content
Verbatim block |

## Quotations

### 2.0 Quotations

Feature | XWiki Syntax 2.1 | Result

    I said ok
| john said this I said ok
Nested quotes |
    > john said this
    >> marie answered that
    I said ok
| john said this marie answered that I said ok

## Groups

### 2.0 Groups

Groups can be used to insert another document inline directly into the current document. This allows for example to insert complex elements or style inside a list item, inside a table cell or a paragraph. Groups are delimited by the following syntactic elements: (((...))). One Group can contain another Group and there is no limit of imbrication.

XWiki Syntax 2.1 | Result
--- | ---
    |=Header 1|=Header 2|=Header 3
    |Cell One|(((
    = Embedded document =

    Some embedded paragraph.

    * list item one
    * list item two
      ** sub-item 1
      ** sub-item 2
    ))) | Cell Three

    Next paragraph in the top-level document
Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3
--- | --- | ---
Cell One | # Embedded document Some embedded paragraph. list item one list item two sub-item 1 sub-item 2 | Cell Three
Next paragraph in the top-level document
    (% class="myClass" style="color:blue" %)(((blue paragraphs

    inside myClass)))
| blue paragraphs inside my group

## Escapes

### 2.0 Escapes

Allows to escape XWiki Syntax.

Feature | XWiki Syntax 2.1 | Result
--- | --- | ---
Escape a character | This is not a ~[~[link~]~] To enter a ~ character use a double escape: ~~ | This is not a [[link]]
Escape longer text (also see "Verbatim") | {{{ some **longer** text //without// formatting}}} | some **longer** text //without// formatting

## Parameters

### 2.0 Parameters

With XWiki Syntax 2.1 it's possible to pass parameters to the different syntax elements and also to blocks of text. This is used for example to style them. You can set any parameter key/value pair you want. The XHTML renderer will pass these parameters as XHTML attributes to the underlying XHTML representation of the different syntax elements.

XWiki Syntax 2.1 | Generated XHTML
--- | ---
    (% class="myClass" style="myStyle" id="myId" %)
    = heading =
    <h1 class="myClass" style="myStyle" id="myId">heading</h1>
