XWiki Syntax 2.1: General
Introduction
2.1 Introduction
The XWiki Syntax 2.0 has proven to be quite useful and robust in general; however since its introduction a few shortcomings have been found. The corresponding improvements have been consolidated in XWiki Syntax 2.1. Some new features of this syntax are:
- Homogenize the link and image syntax for better clarity, consistency and extensibility.
- Added ability to display icons, to embed images via the Data URI scheme, to link to files using the UNC notation and to link to relative URLs.
