Created page with "The original help file on formatting is quite nice, but a little daunting. Here is a shorter overview of the most essential features to format your text. ==..."

New page

The [[Help:Formatting|original help file on formatting]] is quite nice, but a little daunting. Here is a shorter overview of the most essential features to format your text.

==Headings==

Headings can be formed by placing your header between <nowiki>=</nowiki> signs. Use 2 for a chapter, 3 for a subchapter, 4 for subsubchapters etcetera!

For example,
<nowiki>
blabla
==Ze first big 'eader==
blabla
===Ze sub 'eader===
blabla

===Another sub 'eader===
blabla
====Ze sub sub 'eader====
blabla
==Ze second big 'eader==
blabla
</nowiki>

==Table of Contents==

It should be created automatically, provided the article is long enough. No work on your end is required, usually. If you want to force a table of contents even when the page is small, write this at the start of your page:
<nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki>

==Formatting==

Some extra formatting options are available with "<nowiki>'</nowiki>" single quotes. Check this table,

{
|-what you write|what you get
|-<nowiki>''italtics''</nowiki>|''italics''
|-<nowiki>'''bold stuff!'''</nowiki>|'''bold stuff!'''
}

==Links==

===Internal Link===

To make a link to another wiki page, just use <nowiki>[[Title]]</nowiki>.
;example
:<nowiki>[[Jeanpierre]]</nowiki>
:gives [[Jeanpierre]].

If you want to give the link a different name, then add it like this, <nowiki>[[Title|A different name]]</nowiki>.
;example
:<nowiki>[[Jeanpierre|Sir Jean-Pierre d'Armagnac]]</nowiki>
:gives [[Jeanpierre|Sir Jean-Pierre d'Armagnac]]

===External link===

Want to make a link to another website? Then use <nowiki>[http://www.yourstuff.com]</nowiki>
;example
:<nowiki>[http://www.google.com]</nowiki>
:gives [http://www.google.com]

If you want to give the link a different name, simply write it after the url like this, <nowiki>[http://www.yourstuff.com/ Your awesome Stuff]</nowiki>
;example
:<nowiki>[http://www.google.com Ze Almighty Google!]</nowiki>
:gives [http://www.google.com Ze Almighty Google!]

==Bullet or numbered lists==

This might become more practical as you delve into details of your story. Simply write every item, seperated by a newline, and preceded by either a <nowiki>#</nowiki> for a number, or a <nowiki>*</nowiki> for a bullet.

;example
:<nowiki>
*item 1
* Ze item 2
* Ze item 3 with a bit more text
* item 4
</nowiki>
:gives

*item 1
* Ze item 2
* Ze item 3 with a bit more text
* item 4

Similarly, for numbered lists you get,
;example
:<nowiki>
#item 1
# Ze item 2
# Ze item 3 with a bit more text
# item 4
</nowiki>
:gives
#item 1
# Ze item 2
# Ze item 3 with a bit more text
# item 4

'''IMPORTANT NOTE:''' When you place 2 newlines between 2 items, it will start a new list!

;example
:<nowiki>
#item 1
# Ze item 2, with an extra space

# Ze item 3 with a bit more text
# item 4
</nowiki>
:gives
#item 1
# Ze item 2, with an extra space

# Ze item 3 with a bit more text
# item 4

And there you go.
