==Common symbols and their syntices==

=== <nowiki>[[</nowiki>''Internal links''<nowiki>]]</nowiki> ===
Creates an internal link (within the wiki). To use linktext other than the name of the page, use a pipe (|), like this: <nowiki>[[</nowiki>''page title''|link text<nowiki>]]</nowiki>
:Examples: [[Main_Page]] and [[Main_Page|This goes to the Main Page.]]

=== <nowiki>[</nowiki>''<nowiki>External Links</nowiki>''<nowiki>]</nowiki>===
Creates an external link (outside of the wiki).
:Example: [http://www.PaulBui.net An external link.]

=== <nowiki>''</nowiki>Double Apostrophes<nowiki>''</nowiki> ===
Italicises the text. Do not confuse this with double quotes ("").
:Example: ''I feel inclined to emphasise my text.''

=== <nowiki>'''</nowiki>Triple apostrophes<nowiki>'''</nowiki> ===
Emboldens the text. Also ruins your apostrophe key if overdone - use sparingly.
:Example: '''BOOM!'''

=== <nowiki>----</nowiki> ===
A horizontal rule (<nowiki><hr></nowiki>). Use sparingly.
:Example: See below.
----

=== <nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></nowiki> ===
Ignores wikitext and formatting. Also fun to say.
:Example: [http://paulbui.net/wl/index.php?title=Help:Editing&action=edit It's all over the place.]

=== <nowiki>:Indentation</nowiki> ===
Indents text. Place colon as first character in line to be indented. Use in succession to make blocks of text.
:Example: <-- In edit mode, this reads "''':'''Example:"

=== <nowiki>*Basic Lists</nowiki> ===
Creates a bulletted list. The more asterisks you use, the lower the list level.
:Example:
:*'''<nowiki>*</nowiki>'''Level one
:***'''<nowiki>**</nowiki>'''Level two
:****'''<nowiki>***</nowiki>'''Level three
:***'''<nowiki>**</nowiki>'''Level two again
:***'''<nowiki>**</nowiki>'''Another level two

=== <nowiki>#Numeric Lists</nowiki> ===
Creates a numeric list. As with bulletted lists, the more octothorpes one uses, the lower the list level.
:Example:
:#'''<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Level one
:##'''<nowiki>##</nowiki>'''Level two
:###'''<nowiki>###</nowiki>'''Level three
:##'''<nowiki>##</nowiki>'''Level two again
:##'''<nowiki>##</nowiki>'''Another level two

-Creates an external link (outside of the wiki).
+Creates an external link (outside of the wiki). Note that a pipe (|) can also be used to change the link's text, but '''a space after the pipe''' is critical.
