Help:Me
This wiki is a "MediaWiki" - like Wikipedia. MediaWikis use a simple form of markup to enrich plain text. This is a cheat sheet; the standard editing help page is far too complicated. Markup is on the left, an example of the result is on the right.
Heading
Smaller Heading (More Equals Signs; Use Up To 5)
Separate your paragraphs with a blank line.
Explicit line breaks are also possible, e.g. for poetry.
- Numbered list - start with a #
- Bulleted list - start with a *
- Sub-bulleted list - multiple *s
A blank line finishes a list.
Links within the wiki - two square brackets on either side, with link text separated from page name by a | (pipe).
Links to other sites - one square bracket and a space separator for the link text. You will get these two forms mixed up. :-|
Start a line with whitespace to have it rendered like this - good for quotations, code etc.
Three single quotes for bold. Two for emphasis.
