With the following clues supplemented with the editing tools, you can build or edit good looking wiki pages. Here are some hints. Edit this page to see the source. ==Headings== Headings will automatically build a table of contents. An equal sign beginning a line signifies a heading.<br/> Start with a header signified by using 2 equals surrounding the ==Name== since the page title is already supplied. ==Top level== ===Next smaller=== ====And Further==== ==Empty lines and Initial Spaces== Empty lines mean new paragraph.<br/>If you want to start a new line <br/> with no empty line between, use &lt;br/&gt;. Initial spaces mean code example. code1 code2 ... code3 ==Lists== Beginning *s mean '''Unordered List'''. *one *two ** 2 and 1/2 *** and further *three Beginning # mean Numerically '''Ordered List''' #one #two ## 2 and 1/2 ### and further #three A newline marks the end of the list. # New numbering starts with 1. Here's a ''definition list'': ; Word : Definition of the word ; A longer phrase needing definition : Phrase defined ; A word : Which has a definition : Also a second one : And even a third Begin with a semicolon. One item per line; a newline can appear before the colon, but using a space before the colon improves parsing. ==Font Effects== You can ''italicize text'' by putting 2 apostrophes on '''each''' side. <br/>3 apostrophes will '''embolden the text'''. <br/>5 apostrophes will '''embolden''' and ''italicize'' '''''the text'''''. <br/>(Using 4 apostrophes doesn't do anything special -- <br/> the last pair are just ''''left over ones'''' that are included as part of the text.) <br/>The same with 6 --- ''''''left over ones'''''' ==Links== Internal links are built surrounding the link name with two square brackets.<br/> [[How to edit this Wiki]]<br/> Use the pipe symbol to display one thing and link to another.<br/> [[How to edit this Wiki|This is Displayed]] <br/>Links may (and should?) be bold. '''[[How to edit this Wiki|This is Displayed]]''' External links are built much the same way using one square bracket. :For a full explanation see:'''[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents#For_editors The Media Wiki Documentation]''' ==Tables== Edit this page to see the source formatting. {| |- ! header 1 ! header 2 ! header 3 |- | row 1, cell 1 | row 1, cell 2 | row 1, cell 3 |- | row 2, cell 1 | row 2, cell 2 | row 2, cell 3 |}
