Help:Basic Markup

This page covers the markup for formatting text and links on the wiki.

This page has been selected as an important page that needs improvement. It has been placed at the top of the LiF Wiki To Do List.

Headlines

Any text can be made into a headline by placing two equals signs on both sides of the text. The word "Headlines" above this is an example of a headline.

Example:

==My Headline==

A sub-headline can be made using three equals signs on both sides of the text, and a sub-sub headline can be made using four.

Bold

Text can be bolded by placing three single quotes around the text.

Example:

'''This text''' is bold.

Produces:
This text is bold.

Lists

A bullet list can be created by placing an asterisk before each item in the list.

Example:

 * Fun House
 * Magic Carpet
 * Speedway
 

Produces:

• Fun House
• Magic Carpet
• Speedway

Lists can also be numbered by using the number sign (#) instead of an asterisk.

In a box

Pre-formatted text can be placed in a box by indenting each line of the text by one space.

Example:

This line has been indented by one space.
This line has too.

Some things (like headlines) don't work inside these boxes.
