This is a handy guide to the most common bits of Wiki syntax you may want to use.
Basic text formatting markup
| Desired Result | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Italic Text | Two single quotes on each side | ''Italic Text'' |
| Bold Text | Three single quotes on each side | '''Bold Text''' |
| Bold and Italic | Five single quotes on each side | '''''Bold and Italic''''' |
| The "strike" tag | <strike>Strikethru</strike> | |
Preformatted text |
The "pre" tag | <pre>Preformatted text</pre> |
The "nowiki" tag
If you want to ''demonstrate '''bits''' of wiki syntax '''without''' it actually being processed'', as we just did there, enclose your example in the <nowiki>...</nowiki> tag:
<nowiki>''Demonstrate '''bits''' of wiki syntax '''without''' it actually being processed''</nowiki>
Headlines and Table of Contents
Note: In order for headline syntax to be parsed, it must be placed at the beginning of a line, with no spaces before it.
To create a headline for a section, start and end the line with a number of equals signs. The number of signs determines the level of the headline.
Level 1 headlines are used for page titles themselves. Please do not use them in pages.
== Main page sections are Level 2 == === Subsections are level 3 === ==== You can go to level 6 but beyond 4 is pushing it ====
When a page contains four or more headlines, a Table of Contents is automatically generated for it. If you wish to suppress this, put the magic word __NOTOC__ somewhere in the page. (That's two underscores on either side of the letters.)
