6.4.6. Wiki Format

When editing or defining a rule, the text entered in the Problem Description, Advice, Recommended Action, and Links and Further Reading text boxes may be formatted in Wiki format. This allows you to format text and add hyperlinks when creating or editing your own rules.

Find a brief introduction to using Wiki formatting in the following table.

Table 6.1. MySQL Enterprise Monitor: Wiki Formatting

Example Description
__bold__ boldface text
~~italic~~ italicize text
\\ create a line break
\\ \\ create a double line break
\\\\G create a backslash
*item 1 create a bulleted list item
#item 1 create a numbered list item
\_ use the ‘\’ to escape special characters
{moreInfo:name|url} create a hyperlink

So the following Wiki text: 

Replication is a __very nice feature__ of MySQL.  Replication can be very
useful for solving problems in the following areas:
* Data Distribution
* Load Balancing
* Backup and Recovery
You can check replication status and start a slave using the following
commands: SHOW SLAVE STATUS \\\\G\\START SLAVE;
{moreInfo:MySQL Manual: Replication
      FAQ|http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/replication-faq.html}

Would be translated into the following HTML markup: 

Replication is a <b>very nice feature</b> of MySQL.  Replication can be very
useful for solving problems in the following areas:
<ul>
  <li>Data distribution</li>
  <li>Load Balancing</li>
  <li>Backup and recovery</li>
</ul>You can check replication status and start a slave with the following
commands: SHOW SLAVE STATUS \G;<br/>START SLAVE;
