Help:Basic Markup
This page covers the basic markup for formatting text and links on the wiki.
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.
Links
To another page on the wiki
Links to other pages on the wiki are created by placing two sets of square brackets around the name of the page you're linking to. This is case sensitive (except for the first letter).
Example:
[[Cannibal]] really is longer than [[Roller Coaster]] or [[Colossus]].
Produces:
Cannibal really is longer than Roller Coaster or Colossus.
To an outside page
To link to an outside page you can just enter the URL of the page.
Example:
http://www.lagoonisfun.com
Produces:
http://www.lagoonisfun.com
If you want to use specific text for the link, place a space after the URL, then add the text you want and surround the whole thing with one set of square brackets
Example:
[http://www.lagoonisfun.com Lagoon is Fun]
Produces:
Lagoon is Fun
Signature
You can leave a signature by typing four tildes. This is only used in the discussion pages to sign your posts.
Example:
~~~~
