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.

Contents

Headings

Headings will automatically build a table of contents. An equal sign beginning a line signifies a heading.
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.
If you want to start a new line
with no empty line between, use <br>.

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

  1. one
  2. two
    1. 2 and 1/2
      1. and further
  3. three

A newline marks the end of the list.

  1. New numbering starts with 1.

Font Effects

You can italicize text by putting 2 apostrophes on each side.
3 apostrophes will embolden the text.
5 apostrophes will embolden and italicize the text.
(Using 4 apostrophes doesn't do anything special --
the last pair are just 'left over ones' that are included as part of the text.)

Internal links are built surrounding the link name with two square brackets.
How to edit this Wiki
Use the pipe symbol to display one thing and link to another.

Links

External links are built much the same way using one square bracket. For a full explanation see:The Media Wiki Documentation
