Common symbols and their syntices

[[Internal links]]

Creates an internal link (within the wiki). To use linktext other than the name of the page, use a pipe (|), like this: [[page title|link text]]

Examples: Main_Page and This goes to the Main Page.

[External Links]

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.

Example: An external link.

Example with alternate text: [URL here| text]

''Double Apostrophes''

Italicises the text. Do not confuse this with double quotes ("").

Example: I feel inclined to emphasise my text.

'''Triple apostrophes'''

Emboldens the text. Also ruins your apostrophe key if overdone - use sparingly.

Example: BOOM!

----

A horizontal rule (<hr>). Use sparingly.

Example: See below.

---

<nowiki></nowiki>

Ignores wikitext and formatting. Also fun to say.

Example: It's all over the place.

:Indentation

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:"

*Basic Lists

Creates a bulletted list. The more asterisks you use, the lower the list level.

Example:

• *Level one
  • • **Level two
      • ***Level three
    • **Level two again
    • **Another level two

#Numeric Lists

Creates a numeric list. As with bulletted lists, the more octothorpes one uses, the lower the list level.

Example:

1. #Level one
   1. ##Level two
      1. ###Level three
   2. ##Level two again
   3. ##Another level two
