''Total records: 2''

TracWiki Syntax Elements

• Headers: == Heading == for level 2, === Heading === for level 3
• Bold: '''text''' for bold text
• Italic: ''text'' for italic text
• Code: `code` for inline code
• Tables: || Cell || for table cells, ||= Header || for headers
• Lists: * for unordered lists, 1. for ordered lists
• Definition Lists: Term:: Definition
• Code Blocks: {{{ code }}} for code blocks
• Comments: {{{ #!comment text }}} for comments
• Wiki Links: [[WikiPage]] for internal links

Table Formatting

• Simple Table: || Cell 1 || Cell 2 ||
• Header Row: ||= Header 1 ||= Header 2 ||
• Bold Headers: || '''Header''' || for bold headers
• Multiline: Each row on a new line

Common Use Cases

• Trac Documentation: Create wiki pages from JSON data
• Issue Reports: Format issue data for Trac tickets
• Project Status: Display project metrics in Trac wiki
• API Documentation: Document API responses in Trac
• Data Presentation: Present structured data in readable format
• Meeting Notes: Convert structured notes to wiki format

Data Type Handling

• Strings: Plain text with escaped special characters
• Numbers: Displayed as-is without quotes
• Booleans: Displayed in bold ('''true''' or '''false''')
• Null: Displayed as ''null'' in italic
• Arrays: Converted to bulleted lists
• Objects: Converted to definition lists or nested structures

Special Characters

The converter automatically escapes TracWiki special characters:

• Brackets: [ ] are escaped to prevent wiki links
• Braces: { } are escaped to prevent macros
• Pipes: | are escaped to prevent table issues

Best Practices

• Consistent Data: Ensure all JSON objects have the same structure for tables
• Test in Trac: Preview the output in your Trac wiki to verify formatting
• Use Headers: Enable table headers for better readability
• Nested Data: Use appropriate indent size for nested structures
• Link Tickets: Ticket numbers like #1234 automatically become links in Trac
