I'm actually implementing to export a bunch of 'mediaWiki' pages and import them into the Liferay Wiki.
So, as per the existing process, I exported all the required necessary pages into an '*.xml' file and did an import from the Control Panel.
The problem:
When I check the parsed/rendered pages, I see sections of the page isn't rendered appropriately. Upon further digging, I noticed that the sections that weren't rendered are the places which had the '<table>' as '{|' (in wiki) and upon looking further, I noticed that in the page 'html\portlet\wiki\help\mediawiki.jsp' there isn't a specific rule that describes '{|' as being a '<table>' tag.
So, my Question is, if there is a place/source-file to which I can edit and/or add the necessary rules to. If not, what would be the ideal solution for this?
Note: You can see the actual 'wikipedia' formatting rules for a table in this page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table#Using_the_toolbar)
Your best bet is to post-process the XML file. That way you can transform the table markup however you want. A better resource for the table markup is on mediawiki.org

I am new to Liferay, and I still don't know the difference between the various 'kind' of Liferays.
This Liferay is what I am talking about.
I understand that you have to create a page first, and then add components (fragments) in it.
I also understand that you can go to fragments, and create a custom fragment with a custom CSS, and then import it into your page.
However, what I want to do is have a global CSS that I can use for all fragments inside a page, rather than having to add CSS for each fragment.
Is that possible, and if so, how?
I know I can use the 'style-books' which apply to an entire page, however, I don't know how to customize them, and it doesn't seem that that's even possible.
To avoid coding, you can use the css additional textbox provide by theme settings.
It's a whole page css addon for every pages in the site
Is it possible when editing a content page to have a text box for Content, BeforeContent, and AfterContent?
I would like to break up my articles into sections such as introduction, core, and summary so that each part gets styled differently in the Layout.cshtml. The only way I can think to do this is to create a layer for each content page then add html widgets for the BeforeContent and AfterContent zones that I would put my introduction and summary in. This seems like alot of extra work.
Sure, add fields and set-up placement for them. Widgets will work too but it will be more painful to maintain. If not almost impossible.
I have an article set up in Joomla that displays Terms and Conditions for the site users. I would like this to show up in a shadowbox when a user clicks a link. Here is the current anchor text example:
Terms and Conditions
This works out great for displaying the entire web page, but what I would like to do is just display the article text on the page (plain with a white background). Is this in someway possible with shadowbox? If so, how?
If I'm understanding you correctly - you want to suppress the modules and other periphery from your 'page' when it is loaded in the shadowbox.
Add ?tmpl=component to the url of your link.
You can do this with a div element and css shadow effect.
How to show/hide div is explained here:

How you can add shadow is explained here:

I believe there are some components to do this - but you may have to get creative to do it without pulling the whole page with an a href tag.
In the database there's a particular area that holds that specifically and you could write a little query to just pull that information specifically and put it in the shadowbox, but what that query would look like I'm not sure.
I currently have a Content Type called "News" which is very simple (No custom properties etc.). I am trying to style this Content type when it occurs on a page of a specific layout, in this case a "News" page.
So - I have the layout that a News page will inherit from (Layout-url-News.cshtml), however I cannot seem to get the Content to display or inherit from a template (I have tried creating alternates such as Zone-url-News.cshtml and Zone-Content-url-News.cshtml, however both result in having no content at all.)
I had create both of the mentioned alternates by hand, as Designer Tools was unable to generate an alternate (The relative virtual path 'Orchard.Core.Shapes.CoreShapes::Zone' is not allowed here)
Basically - I cannot figure out how to style the content found on a specific page, (Title, Tags, Date, Body) as the Content always seems to inheirit from the base shape.
If your point is to style content in a zone, u might find it easier to use css. The layout system makes it really easy to identify the elements your interested in styling by using css selectors.
for example
.aside1.news { ... }
That takes care of 80% of styling needs
Most of the remaining is taken care of by the placement.info file which allows you to indicate which fields and what order for contenttypes and viewstypes (summary and detail)
the remaining needs are address by overriding the contentitem.view.
But you seem to indicate that you want to set the style for a contenttype in a specific zone for a url. So... You have the same contentType in different zones at the same url? I cannot imagine what you are doing. :)
Long and short, it sounds like your focused on the zone but it might be more helpful to focus on the contenttype or better yet, css. I ran into the same thing with url alternates suggesting alternates that aren't valid. It seems weird that it suggests zone alternates. I don't think those those are allowed.
I'm customizing a NewForm.aspx page and I've created a few new SharePoint:FormFields in the form of textboxes. I'm looking to customize the height of these boxes on a case-by-case basis, but I can't figure it out.
I've looked into DisplaySize, but that only controls the width of a specific textboxe, and I've seen adding in:
<style>
.ms-long{width:100px;}
</style>
but that changes every SharePoint:FormField size, not just one.
Find the element in the complete html output, and use the id rather than the class as the css selector. If you can't find a suitable selector or you need to use selectors not supported in ie, you can use javascript/jquery to find and modify individual controls.
If you are customizing the NewForm.aspx, and you want to customize the look of the controls, you should also customize the CSS by using your own .css file. That may or may not include a customized master page.
I take it your a user of SharePoint Designer to be editing NewForm.aspx. Personally the route I would go down is to design a custom text box field and give it the desired size that way. Might not be what you want, but it's one way to do it.
