How to multiline literal text, list items etc

multiline segments

Hi All,

We can do literal text with @ @ e.g.
literal text

Can we do multi-line literal text? Because this doesn't seem to work..
@@ line 1
lines2 @@

Also, how about multi-line list items. I.e. a list with three points:

• one
• two
• three

But I want this to be a single list with three points too:

• one
• two

two and a half

• three

Thanks for any advice!

Rob

You already answered it. The answer is nope. For multiline you must type each-line independently:

Syntax

@@line 1@@
@@lines2@@

Result

line 1
lines2

Also, how about multi-line list items. I.e. a list with three points:

To make multiline content listlist use:

Syntax

* one
* two _
two and a half
* three

Result

• one
• two
  two and a half
• three

Hey your name is Rob too…

Another way to do multi-line literal text or multi-line literal items would be to use a code block. So in the example given you could do

[[code]]
line 1
line 2
[[/code]]

line 1
line 2

and lists could be

[[code]]
* one
* two
* three
[[/code]]

* one
* two
* three

It's not really the point of codeblocks but I suppose it meets what the other Rob is trying to do. Of course, being literal text, there can't be links or anything else, it's just text. If you don't like the background colour, border etc of the codeblock these could be changed via custom CSS.
