%ENCODE{"string"}%
Parameter: | Description: | Default: |
---|---|---|
"string" | String to encode | required (can be empty) |
type="url" | Encode special characters for URL parameter use, like a double quote into %22 | (this is the default) |
type="quotes" | Escape double quotes with backslashes (\" ), does not change other characters. This type does not protect against cross-site scripting. | type="url" |
type="moderate" | Encode special characters into HTML entities for moderate cross-site scripting protection: "<" , ">" , single quote (' ) and double quote (" ) are encoded. Useful to allow TWiki variables in comment boxes. | type="url" |
type="safe" | Encode special characters into HTML entities for cross-site scripting protection: "<" , ">" , "%" , single quote (' ) and double quote (" ) are encoded. | type="url" |
type="entity" | Encode special characters into HTML entities, like a double quote into " . Does not encode newline (\n ) or linefeed (\r ). | type="url" |
type="entity" extra=" $n$r" | For type="entity" only, use the extra parameter to encode additional characters to HTML numeric entities. Formatting tokens can be used, such as "$n" for newline. Note that type="entity" extra=" $n$r" is equivalent to type="html" . | type="url" extra="" |
type="html" | Encode special characters into HTML entities. In addition to type="entity" , it also encodes space, \n and \r . Useful to encode text properly in HTML input fields. See equivalent ENTITY. | type="url" |
type="json" | Escape double quotes and backslashes with backslashes (\" and \\ , respectively), escape non-printable characters with hex code \u0000 ... \u001F , does not change other characters. Use this to properly escape text for a JSON string. Example result: This is a string with \"quoted\" and \\backslashed\\ text . | type="url" |
type="csv" | Escape single quotes and double quotes by repeating them, other characters do not change. Use this to properly escape fields in CSV reports that output comma-separated values, such as "field 1","field 2 with ''single'' and ""double"" quotes" . | type="url" |
newline="..." | Replace a newline with the specified value before encoding. Please note that newline="<br/>" does not bring <br/> to the output because < and > are encoded (except with the quotes and csv types). To have <br/> in the output, you need to specify newline="$br" . However, newline="$br" does not work in combination with type="url" (the defautl type). This shouldn't be a problem because it's very rare to need to have <br/> encoded in a URL. In addition to $br , $n has a special meaning in a newline parameter value - $n results in a newline in the output. This parameter is expected to be used in combination with the moderate , safe , entity , or html type. With the other types, it causes unuseful results. |
%ENCODE{"spaced name"}%

type="moderate"
, type="safe"
, type="entity"
or type="html"
to protect user input from URL parameters and external sources against cross-site scripting (XSS). type="html"
is the safest mode, but some TWiki applications might not work. type="safe"
provides a safe middle ground, type="moderate"
provides only moderate cross-site scripting protection.

"name" | Name of the section. |
type="..." | Type of the section being terminated; supported types "section" , "include" , "templateonly" , "expandvariables" |
STARTSECTION
is named, the corresponding ENDSECTION
must also be named with the same name. If the STARTSECTION
specifies a type, then the corresponding ENDSECTION

Parameter: | Description: | Default: |
---|---|---|
"SomeTopic" | The name of a topic located in the current web, i.e. %INCLUDE{"WebNotify"}% | |
"Web.Topic" | A topic in another web, i.e. %INCLUDE{"TWiki.SiteMap"}% | |
"http://..." | A full qualified URL, i.e. %INCLUDE{"http://twiki.org:80/index.html"}% . Supported content types are text/html and text/plain by default. See allowanytype .if the URL resolves to an attachment file on the server this will automatically translate to a server-side include. | |
attachment="filename.ext" | Include the specified attachment instead of topic text. The attachment content is subject to processing just like when topic text is included. For example, text up to %STARTINCLUDE% is excluded. When including an attachment, you can do without topic specification - %INCLUDE{attachment="filename.ext"}% works, which results in including the attachment of the same topic. | |
allowanytype="on" | Suppress the content type checking in including the web page specified by a URL. | disabled |
charset="CHARSET" | Specify the charset of the included content so that a proper charset conversion happens when it's different from the site charset. Needless to say, this works for a TWiki topic, a topic attachment, and a content specified with a URL. This parameter overrides otherwise specified or implied charset. | none |
pattern="..." | Include a subset of a topic or a web page. Specify a RegularExpression that scans from start ('^' ) to end and contains the text you want to keep in parenthesis, e.g., pattern="^.*?(from here.*?to here).*" . IncludeTopicsAndWebPages has more. | none |
headingoffset="2" | Adjust the level of headings in the included topic. A "2" or "+2" increases the level by two, e.g. a ---+ H1 turns into a ---+++ H3. Positive and negative values are supported. Adjusted min and max levels are H1 and H6, respectively. | no adjustment |
hidetoc="on" | Remove %TOC% in included content. Useful to show table of contents in individual topics, while suppressing them if included in a big master document. | TOC_HIDE_IF_ setting |
rev="2" | Include a previous topic revision; N/A for URLs | top revision |
raw="on" (for HTTP inclusion) | When a page is included via HTTP, normally TWiki will process it, doing the following: 1) Alter relative links to point back to originating host, 2) Remove some basic HTML tags (html, head, body, script) and finally 3) Remove newlines from HTML tags spanning multiple lines. If you prefer to include exactly what is in the source of the originating page set this to on . raw="on" is short for disableremoveheaders="on" , disableremovescript="on" , disableremovebody="on" , disablecompresstags="on" and disablerewriteurls="on" . | disabled |
raw="on" (for topic or attachment inclusion) | When a topic is included, normally TWiki variables in the included topic are expanded in the context of the inlcluded topic. If raw="on" is specified, that variable expansion does not happen. You may wonder what's that for and what are the implications, which are found out on IncludeTopicRaw. Because of the "in the raw" nature of the parapmeter, if it's specified, parameters such as encode , headingoffset , hidetoc , newline , nofinalnewline , and section are ignored. | disabled |
literal="on" | While using the raw option will indeed include the raw content, the included content will still be processed and rendered like regular topic content. To disable parsing of the included content, set the literal option to "on" . | disabled |
nofinalnewline="on" | Delete the new line at the end of the result if exists | disabled |
newline="$br" | Convert newlines in textarea to other delimiters. Variable $br expands to <br /> tag, and $n to a newline. Other text is encoded based on encode parameter. | no conversion |
encode="html" | Encode special characters into HTML entities. If a FORMFIELD is passed into an HTML form field it should be encoded as "html" . Additional encodings available: encode="quote" , encode="moderate" , encode="safe" , encode="entity" and encode="url" . See ENCODE for details. | no encoding |
disableremoveheaders="on" | Bypass stripping headers from included HTML (everything until first </head> tag) | disabled |
disableremovescript="on" | Bypass stripping all <script> tags from included HTML | disabled |
disableremovebody="on" | Bypass stripping the </body> tag and everything around over and below it | disabled |
disablecompresstags="on" | Bypass replacing newlines in HTML tags with spaces. This compression step rewrites unmatched <'s into < entities unless bypassed | disabled |
disablerewriteurls="on" | Bypass rewriting relative URLs into absolute ones | disabled |
disablefixlinks="on" | Bypass fixing WikiWord links if include is done across webs. Fixing links in included text such as from SomeLink to Otherweb.SomeLink is usually desirable so that links in included text still point to the same target | disabled |
warn="off" | Warn if topic include fails: Fail silently (if off ); output default warning (if set to on ); else, output specific text (use $topic for topic name) | %INCLUDEWARNING% preferences setting |
section="name" | Includes only the specified named section, as defined in the included topic by the STARTSECTION and ENDSECTION variables. Nothing is shown if the named section does not exists. section="" is equivalent to not specifying a section | |
PARAMONE="val 1" | Any other parameter will be defined as a variable within the scope of the included topic. The example parameters on the left will result in %PARAMONE% and %PARAMTWO% being defined within the included topic. A default value for a variable can be specified in the included topic in case the corresponding parameter is not specified, such as %PARAMONE{ default="..." }% |
%INCLUDE{"http://www.google.com/"}%
is turned off by default. To turn this on, ask your TWiki administrator to enable the {INCLUDE}{AllowURLs}

%SCRIPTURL{"script" ...}%
Parameter: | Description: | Default: |
---|---|---|
"script" | The name of the script | |
web="WEB" | Specifies a web | When a topic name is specified and a web is not, the current web is assumed |
topic="TOPIC" or topic="WEB.TOPIC" | Specifies a topic or both a web and a topic | |
master="on" | A URL on the master site is needed or not | off |

http://florawiki/cgi-bin
. Then %SCRIPTURL{"edit" web="Flowers"}%
expands to http://florawiki/cgi-bin/edit/Flowers
. This is because the 'Flower' web on this site is a slave and editing needs to happen on the master site.
%SCRIPTURL{"view" web="Flowers" master="on"}%
expands to http://florawiki/cgi-bin/view/Flowers
. The view
script works on a slave site, but master="on"
parameter forces to yield the master site URL.

%SEARCH{"text" ...}%
Parameter: | Description: | Default: |
---|---|---|
"text" | Search term. Is a keyword search, literal search, regular expression search, or query, depending on the type parameter. SearchHelp has more | required |
search="text" | (Alternative to above) | N/A |
web="Name" web="Main, Know" web="all" | Comma-separated list of webs to search. You can specifically \*exclude\* webs from an all search using a minus sign - for example, web="all,-Secretweb" . The special word all means all webs that do not have the NOSEARCHALL variable set to on in their WebPreferences. Note that TWikiAccessControls are respected when searching webs; it is much better to use them than NOSEARCHALL . | Current web |
topic="WebPreferences" topic="*Bug" | Limit search to topics: A topic, a topic with asterisk wildcards, or a list of topics separated by comma. Note this is a list of topic names and must not include web names. | All topics in a web |
excludetopic="Web*" excludetopic="WebHome, WebChanges" | Exclude topics from search: A topic, a topic with asterisk wildcards, or a list of topics separated by comma. Note this is a list of topic names and must not include web names. | None |
scope="topic" scope="text" scope="all" | Search topic name (title); the text (body) of topic; or all (title and body) | "text" |
type="keyword" type="word" type="literal" type="regex" type="query" | Control how the search is performed when scope="text" or scope="all" keyword : use Google-like controls as in soap "web service" -shampoo ; searches word parts: using the example, topics with "soapsuds" will be found as well, but topics with "shampoos" will be excluded word : identical to keyword but searches whole words: topics with "soapsuds" will not be found, and topics with "shampoos" will not be excluded literal : search for the exact string, like web service regex : use a RegularExpression search like soap;web service;!shampoo ; to search on whole words use \bsoap\b query : query search of form fields and other meta-data, like (Firstname='Emma' OR Firstname='John') AND Lastname='Peel' | %SEARCHVAR- DEFAULTTYPE% preferences setting (literal) |
sort="topic" sort="created" sort="modified" sort="editby" sort="parent" sort="parent(99)" sort="formfield(name)" sort="parent, | Sort the search results by: • topic : topic name, • created : topic creation time, • modified : last modified time, • editby : last editor, • parent : parent topic name, • parent(N) : parent breadcrumb up to indicated level, • formfield(NAME) : named TWikiForms field, • or a combination to sort by more than one field using a comma list. The sorting is done web by web; if you want to sort across webs, create a formatted table and sort it with TablePlugin's initsort. Note that dates are sorted most recent date last (i.e at the bottom of the table). Legacy order parameter is used in case sort is not specified. | "topic" |
reverse="on" reverse="off, on" | Reverse the direction of the search. Specify a comma list of on, off tokens to toggle direction by sort field. If sort has more fields than reverse tokens, the state of the last reverse token is taken for the remaining fields. | "off" |
start="0" start="20" | Specify the number of results to skip. This is done after sorting if sort parameter is specified. This is intended for pagination of results. If this parameter is specified, %NTOPICS% in the search template is replaced with the number of topics matched. Without this parameter, %NTOPICS% doesn't exceed the limit value. | "0" |
limit="all" limit="16" | Limit the number of results returned. This is done after sorting if sort parameter is specified. This parameter specifing the number of results remains the same in the presense of the start parameter. Assuming there are more than 20 results matched, start="10" limit="10" results in 11th to 20th results are returned | "all" |
date="..." | limits the results to those pages with latest edit time in the given time interval. | All results |
createdate="..." | similar to date but it's about create time instead of last edit. You can specify both date and createdate , in which case topics matching both conditions are shown. | All results |
casesensitive="on" | Case sensitive search | Ignore case |
bookview="on" | BookView search, e.g. show complete topic text | Show topic summary |
nonoise="on" | Shorthand for nosummary="on" nosearch="on" nototal="on" zeroresults="off" noheader="on" noempty="on" | Off |
nosummary="on" | Show topic title only | Show topic summary |
nosearch="on" | Suppress search string | Show search string |
noheader="on" | Suppress default search header Topics: Changed: By: , unless a header is explicitly specified | Show default search header, unless search is inline and a format is specified (Cairo compatibility) |
nototal="on" | Do not show number of topics found | Show number |
zeroresults="off" | Suppress all output if there are no hits | zeroresults="on" , displays: "Number of topics: 0" |
noempty="on" | Suppress results for webs that have no hits. | Show webs with no hits |
headingoffset="2" | Adjust the level of headings in text of topics found, taking effect in $text and $pattern() of a FormattedSearch. A "2" or "+2" increases the level by two, e.g. a ---+ H1 turns into a ---+++ H3. Positive and negative values are supported. Adjusted min and max levels are H1 and H6, respectively. | no adjustment |
header="..." format="..." footer="..." | Custom format results. See FormattedSearch for usage, variables & examples | Results in table |
default="..." | Default message if there are no hits in a web. See FormattedSearch for usage, variables & examples | No output |
expandvariables="on" | Expand variables before applying a FormattedSearch on a search hit. Useful to show the expanded text, e.g. to show the result of a SpreadSheetPlugin %CALC{}% instead of the formula | Raw text |
multiple="on" | Multiple hits per topic. Each hit can be formatted. The last token is used in case of a regular expression ";" and search | Only one hit per topic |
nofinalnewline="on" | If on , the search variable does not end in a line by itself. Any text continuing immediately after the search variable on the same line will be rendered as part of the table generated by the search, if appropriate. | off |
recurse="on" | Recurse into subwebs, if subwebs are enabled. | off |
separator=", " | Line separator between search hits. Specify format="$topic" separator=", " to get a comma separated list of topic names. The following variables can be used in the separator value: $n expands to a newline, $br expands to a <br /> line break tag. | "$n" (Newline) |
newline="$br" | Line separator within a search hit. Useful if you want to put multi-line content into a table cell, for example if the format="" parameter contains a $pattern() that captures more than one line, or contains a $formfield() that returns a multi-line textfield. The following variables can be used in the newline value: $n expands to a newline, $br expands to a <br /> line break tag. | "$n" (Newline) |
encode="html" | Encode special characters into HTML entities. If a FORMFIELD is passed into an HTML form field it should be encoded as "html" . Additional encodings available: encode="quote" , encode="moderate" , encode="safe" , encode="entity" and encode="url" . See ENCODE for details. | no encoding |

topic
parameter is specified, it gets the value of the specified preferences variable in the specified topic. Please note that the WebPreferences of the web of the specified topic is not examined. So the returned value may not be the same as the value of the variable when the specified topic is viewed.
topic
parameter is not specified and the web
parameter is specified, it gets the value of the specified preferences variable in the specified web, which means the specified web's WebPreferences is examined for the variable.
topic
nor web
parameter is specified, it gets the value of the specified variable in the current context -- the variable can either be a preferences variable or a session variable but cannot be a tag with a tag handler (e.g. %GMTIME%
). %VAR{"NAME"}%
is similar to %NAME%
, but they differ if NAME
is undefined, in which case %VAR{"NAME"}%
is expanded to null (zero width string) while %NAME%
remains as is (%NAME%
