Format text
Headings
To make headings:
| This markup | produces |
|---|---|
| == Header == |
Header |
| === Sub-Header === |
Sub-Header |
| ==== Sub-sub-Header ==== |
Sub-sub-Header |
Font Face
To make bold or italic font:
| This markup | produces |
|---|---|
| This is ''italic'' and this is '''bold'''. | This is italic and this is bold. |
Lists
An asterisk "*" at the start of each line indicates an item in a bullet list:
- One item
- and another one
Create a numbered list by adding a hash sign "#" at the start of the line:
- First item
- Second item
- Third item
Code
To make clear text is meant as code or computer in/output use <pre> and </pre> tags to surround the text:
<pre>this is preformatted text</pre>
produces
this is preformatted text
Alternatively, just prepend a space at the beginning of the line:
<- here is a space at the beginning of the line.
For code that appears in the middle of a sentence, use <code> and </code> tags for formatting.
Creating links
To link to another article in this wiki:
| This markup | produces |
|---|---|
| Have a look at our [[new users]] section. | Have a look at our new users section. |
To link to another namespace, e.g. a category:
| This markup | produces |
|---|---|
| Have a look at our [[:Category:Users]] section. | Have a look at our Category:Users section. |
Creating tables
Make a sortable table. This input:
{| class="wikitable sortable" border=1
! col1 !! col2 !! col3
|-
| field1 || field2 || field3
|-
| ZZZ || AAA || MMM
|}
Produces:
| col1 | col2 | col3 |
|---|---|---|
| field1 | field2 | field3 |
| ZZZ | AAA | MMM |
Templates
Templates allow you to pre-define text and layout that can be included in other pages. Examples are notifications like "This site is a stub" or information boxes for applications that contain certain fields like "name" and "genre". Include a template demo like this:
{{demo}}
