Improved wikis with more markup optionsBitbucket | Bitbucket

Are you a Markdown wizard? Perhaps you have spent the last few years learning the ins and outs of reStructuredText.

Let’s be honest: when you know a markup language well, that’s what you want to use to create rich content.

Now, wiki pages on Bitbucket render Markdown, reStructuredText, Textile—and they’re still fluent in Creole. New wiki pages default to Markdown, but it’s easy to switch:

Even more improvements…

We’ve freshened up the look of our markup toolbar and added buttons to insert links and images into your pages. Now you have everything you need to write full-featured wiki pages. Just in case you can’t remember the syntax, the toolbar is available everywhere on the site where you can enter markup.  Even better, you can use the improved toolbar to preview wiki markup in any language with just one click.

We’ve also made it easier to manage your wiki directly from Bitbucket. You can now rename or delete pages right from the site. You can manage your files without having to clone the wiki repository  — but you still have the option to clone, if you prefer.

Git or Mercurial repositories continue to back our wikis. You can clone your wiki, compose with your favorite editor, and push your changed pages back up to Bitbucket.  Just make sure each page’s file uses the appropriate extension for your markup and Bitbucket will handle the rendering.
