Character Formatting
Emphasis
- ''Two single quotes'' = Two single quotes
- '''Three single quotes''' = Three single quotes
- '''''Five single quotes''''' = Five single quotes
Code
Code may be entered as monospace lines by beginning a line with a space. Formatting is preserved. For example:
for(int a=0;a<1;a++) { do_something(); }
HTML and Wiki-code is still processed in monospace lines.
URLs, links
This is quite easy, use single [] or double [[ ]].
- Internal links: [[Rules]] = Rules.
- To assist you when creating internal links within sentences, you may uncapitalize the first letter of the article: “read the [[rules]] for editing” = “read the rules for editing”.
- Named internal links: [[Rules | rules for editing]] = rules for editing.
- Contracted external links: [http://mozilla.org/] = [1].
- Named external links: [http://mozilla.org/ Mozilla Home] = Mozilla Home.
- Explicit external links: “visit http://mozilla.org/ now” = “visit http://mozilla.org/ now”.
- Using link anchors (<a name="..."> in HTML):
- Creating anchors. An anchor is created automatically for each section of a page. You can create additional anchors by putting an id attribute on any HTML tag understood by MediaWiki. Example: <div id="anchor">Text with anchor</div> = Text with anchorNote, that neither <a name="anchor">, nor <a id="anchor"> will work.
- Linking to an anchor. You can link to an anchor on a page using this syntax: [[In-House Style#Commonly used names|Commonly used names]] = Commonly used names. For anchors on current page you can use [[#anchor|anchor]] = anchor.
- Creating anchors. An anchor is created automatically for each section of a page. You can create additional anchors by putting an id attribute on any HTML tag understood by MediaWiki. Example: <div id="anchor">Text with anchor</div> =
Document structure
Section headers: =Header Example= gives you a:
Header Example
which will add an entry to the table of contents. Subsections: in order to have subsections, add one more equal sign to both sides of the code (====Subheader Example====)
Subheader Example
and adds an entry to the table of contents. Note: there are six levels of document headers in MediaWiki, hence six different header code (largest header has one equal sign, second largest has two, etc.)
Lists
Lists: *,# at the beginning of a line gives
- Unordered list
- Ordered list
For levels of lists, add more *,#s:
- Unordered list
- Ordered list
Indented Text
When you use the : (colon) at the beginning of a line it will be indented.
For example:
:Hello I am the indented line :Hello I am the next indented line.
Gives:
- Hello I am the indented line
- Hello I am the next indented line.
Tables
Tables are explained on a separate page.
Miscellaneous
- For those of us that like center aligned text: <center>'''Me'''</center>
gives you:
Signatures
