Help:Me

This wiki is powered by "MediaWiki" - like Wikipedia, and also like the Mozilla intranet. MediaWiki uses a simple form of markup to enrich plain text. This is a cheat sheet; the standard editing help page is... comprehensive. Lots of trees, hard to see the wood. If you bookmark this page, then whenever you need it, just type "Help Me" into your Awesomebar.

If you have text already marked up with HTML, much of it will Just Work. Paste it in to the Edit box, press "Show preview", and see how it looks. (Sadly, links don't work - you have to use the syntax below.) You can mix HTML and MediaWiki markup in the same page.

Type things from the left into the page editing box of the page you are editing, and the result will be what you see on the right.
