Basic Editing


What it looks like What you type

You can italicize text by putting 2 apostrophes on each side.

3 apostrophes will embolden the text.

5 apostrophes will embolden and italicize the text.

(4 apostrophes don't do anything special -- there's just 'one left over'.)

You can ''italicize text'' by putting 2 
apostrophes on each side. 

3 apostrophes will embolden '''the text'''. 

5 apostrophes will embolden and italicize 
'''''the text'''''.

(4 apostrophes don't do anything
special -- there's just ''''one left
over''''.)

Section headings

What it looks like What you type
Section headings

Headings organize your writing into sections. The Wiki software can automatically generate a table of contents from them.

Subsection

Using more equals signs creates a subsection.

A smaller subsection

Don't skip levels, like from two to four equals signs.

Start with two equals signs, not one. (One equals sign is only used for page titles.)

Lists and indents

What it looks like What you type
  • Unordered lists are easy to do:
    • Start every line with a star.
      • More stars indicate a deeper level.
  • Previous item continues.
    • A new line
  • in a list

marks the end of the list.

  • Of course you can start again.
* ''Unordered lists'' are easy to do:

** A new line

marks the end of the list.
* Of course you can start again.
  1. Numbered lists are:
    1. Very organized
    2. Easy to follow
  2. Previous item continues

A new line marks the end of the list.

  1. New numbering starts with 1.
# ''Numbered lists'' are:
## Very organized
## Easy to follow
# Previous item continues
A new line marks the end of the list.
# New numbering starts with 1.
A colon (:) indents a line or paragraph.

A newline starts a new paragraph.

We use 1 colon to indent once.
We use 2 colons to indent twice.
3 colons to indent 3 times, and so on.

:: We use 2 colons to indent twice.
::: 3 colons to indent 3 times, and so on.

Links

What it looks like What you type

To create a link to another page in the wiki, use two square brackets. Separate the page title from the display text with a pipe character.

Here's a link to the Main page. But we can use any display text that we like.

But be careful - capitalization counts!

To create a link to another page in the wiki, use two square brackets.
Separate the page title from the display text with a pipe character.

Here's a link to the [[Main Page|Main page]].
But we can use [[Main Page|any display text]] that we like.

A red link is a page that doesn't exist yet. You could create it by clicking on the link.

[[A red link]] is 
a page that doesn't exist
yet. You could create it by 
clicking on the link.

To create a link to a page outside the wiki, use one square bracket. Separate the address from the display text with a space.

Here's a link to the [Telrite portal].

To create a link to another page in the wiki, use two square brackets.
