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 anchor
    Note, 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.

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

1. Ordered list

For levels of lists, add more *,#s:

• • Unordered list

1. 1. 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:

Me
