Specifically, I'm writing a tale in my sandbox (third tab) that starts off with a letter. I don't know how to have a continuous quote box after pressing enter. Can someone give this poor, overambitious noob a hand?
Type this:
> Words words words
> blah blah
> space before each letter
>
> yay
Words words words
blah blah
space before each letteryay
Thank you very much. As a placeholder, I was using [[code]] [[/code]], but I didn't like those results.
How do I shot exploration logs?
You find an exploration log with a format you like, scroll to the bottom, click "+Options", click "Page Source", copy-paste the coding, and then make your necessary edits.
I don't think there's a standard exploration log template, since different authors might make use of different techniques/presentations (timestamps, gesture details, etc.)
I have a feeling more than a couple people have problems like the ones I've posted here, so can someone Sticky this?
I don't think this needs to be stickied, given that anyone who has the same questions can just make a new thread for themselves or ask in chat.
Edit: To clarify, I don't think having a huge generic Wiki syntax help thread is really necessary, given that it'd be easier for someone to just ask their own specific case question instead of digging through a thread begun by someone else.
Try checking out SCP-000, it has a non-collapsed white text Easter Egg.
That's actually my inspiration for the idea of the Easter Egg. My only problem with that is the massive whitespace that makes SCP-000's Easter Egg obvious.
Uh, TayJK… lots of pages have "hidden" white text. This isn't what the OP is asking about here.
Macleod, I'm not entirely sure it's possible to use simple wikidot code mix color text coding with collapsible coding, since collapsibles automatically appear in red text. You can try making text really small and having the collapsible be just a single symbol (e.g. period), but I'm pretty sure that unless you're willing to apply some coding wizardry, the collapsible will need to be visible.
That said, I'll PM Crayne from the technical staff about this.
It's possible. Just get a hard space from the Character Map. It's after the tilde.
For example:
Troy is easily the sexiest of the admins.
This is text I put down here because people in chat said they were having trouble seeing it. Additionally, more spaces were added.
"WELL FOUNDATION. YOU MADE IT SO EASY. SO VERY VERY EASY." - dimensionpotato
The academic community disagrees with your assertion.
This is why you have, literally, no friends other than me.
"WELL FOUNDATION. YOU MADE IT SO EASY. SO VERY VERY EASY." - dimensionpotato
I think that's what the kids call it. Last time I checked. 'Frenemies' or somesuch. ASK A TWEEN IF YOU WANT A VOCABULARY LESSON.

What is going on in my code thread?!?
Dude, thank you so much.
No problem, mate. Truthfully, I was hiding that knowledge to use it on an SCP I've been working on, but since you asked directly, I thought I'd share. Go forth and write great things.
"WELL FOUNDATION. YOU MADE IT SO EASY. SO VERY VERY EASY." - dimensionpotato
Will do. Thanks again, man.
I've been working on kind of the same thing Zyn. The best I've been able to come up with is in my sandbox page under the tab "Ideas to come…"
The only problem is, the collapsible is still very visible if you know where to look for it.
Is there a way to do the little degrees symbol? Or, for that matter, how does one do any symbol not found on a normal keyboard? Is it just a matter of copy-pasting from somewhere else?

Edit: just saw they don't explain much. Use your ALT key together with numbers from your keyboard's numpad to produce special symbols. ALT+219 is a blackbox for example. ALT+248 will get you a degree symbol.
If you don't want to look it up on a website, every version of Windows has a program called Character Map where you can look up and copy non-keyboard characters. You can find in in either Accessories -> System Tools on Vista/7, Accessories in XP and older, or shortcut to it by pressing WinKey+R and typing in "charmap".
This is a thank you to both Crayne and Aelanna. I just don't feel like replying to two different comments. Thanks, guys.
I've been using lower case "o" and putting it as a superscript with a double caret (^) on either side as in: 10o
Yo, MadCat. I understand that you're trying to be helpful, but you just commented on two separate commentchains that are dead, and the problems brought up within long since resolved. Like, it seems that the vets who know their coding are on top of this.
Ok, this one is asking a couple things, some of them not directly related to coding… Actually, this barely has anything to do with coding, but this thread is already here, so here goes:
I could've sworn I had another question, one that's more related to coding…
Pretty much everything about the GOC is either there or linked from there. If any page on the site will help you format a GOC-related tale, that's it.
I appreciate the help, gentlemen1
Also, I remembered my third question: How do I shot Samothrace? Specifically, how do I edit the URL of my sandbox such that I can create that neat coding thing? Like, I can copy-paste the code from the main SCP and I know what's happening beneath the coding, but I don't know how to make it apply to my sandbox. Or should I just wait until I post the damn thing before I do the coding trick?
This is yet another question that's not quite coding related, but here goes: Is it possible to send a PM to multiple people?
Don't know if it works because I'm on mobile, but try this.
Also on mobile…
I just copy-pasted the text and put it in a quote box, then sent it along to the other person.
THREAD REVIVAL!!
So that neat little coding trick that SCP-1173 uses? How do I do that, but not randomized?
Look at the page source. It uses the ListPages module to grab various pages in the "SCP-1173" category, which is something you can duplicate on the sandbox, and displays one (randomly ordered) in order for the SCP page to get the desired effect.
Well, yeah, I've copypasted the code to my sandbox and modified it so as to display a random selection from my auxiliary sandboxes, but that's the thing: I don't want it to be random. If/when I post the work to the site, I want people clicking the page to find one version, and people refreshing the page to see the other. Does Wikidot coding allow for that?
Edit: Actually, if there isn't a way to code this, I'll just do something else. In fact, it might be better for the article if I do that something else.
I don't think wikidot allows for that.
Giving bearhugs to the unsuspecting since 1872.
Yeah, I'll do the other thing.
You're probably going to have to use javascript local storage (and further JScript magic). Look at my Sandbox's source for a really crude example.
The bad part is that stuff inside HTML tags does not go through Wikidot's pre-processor, so youll have to do all formatting there by hand
I've opted against this. Too much of a coding hassle. I'll have one subpage link to the other, so when the randomized page pops up, it's a guarantee they'll see both pages.
Know that if you decide to revisit, I figured a way that could potentially make this really easily and I'd gladly do that for you.
Apparently the trick I was going for only works in terms for doing stuff with the overall site stylesheet. There's another way which does work, but it's messier (generate document from source, copy the actual HTML source for the content, past that inside a HTML Wikidot module, then apply dirty Javascript tricks).
For the record, the last part is fairly simple (a variation of the code which I already have), but does not work directly on stuff generated by Wikidot does not let you access all of their HTML. Offer still stands, but it won't be as MAGIC.
Ok, what you're describing sounds like a pain in the ass to type out, but it might be worth it. Do you have an example? Like, a sandbox where you've done it already or something?
Guess who's back.
Back again.
So, how do I shot white text?
As amusing as I normally find such humor, this isn't helpful to me in the least.
Edit: Actually, let's see…
TEST
Edit 2:
Thanks, Reject!!
