| RAMADDA uses wiki text in a number of ways. You can create Wiki Page entries, you
can style any entry using wiki text and you can also add in a Page Style metadata element
that allows you to define the style used for a whole collection of entries.

RAMADDA provides a wiki text editor for use with all of the above ways of using wiki text:

A snippet is a substring of an entry's description and is used to show a tooltip in the grid view and
also used by the
Twitter card functionality.
A snippet is specified in a number of ways-
- Using the "+note ... -note" or "+callout ... -callout" wiki tags:
+note
This is the snippet
-note
or:
+callout-info
This is the snippet
-callout
...
- By the snippet tag:
...
<snippet>
This is the snippet
</snippet>
