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.

Headings

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

For example,

blabla
==Ze first big 'eader==
blabla
===Ze sub 'eader===
blabla

===Another sub 'eader===
blabla
====Ze sub sub 'eader====
blabla
==Ze second big 'eader==
blabla

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: __TOC__

Formatting

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

{ |-what you write|what you get |-''italtics''|italics |-'''bold stuff!'''|bold stuff! }

Links

Internal Link

To make a link to another wiki page, just use [[Title]].

example

[[Jean-Pierre d'Armagnac]]

gives Jean-Pierre d'Armagnac.

If you want to give the link a different name, then add it like this, [[Title|A different name]].

example

[[Jean-Pierre d'Armagnac|Jean-Pierre]]

gives Jean-Pierre

External link

Want to make a link to another website? Then use [http://www.yourstuff.com]

example

[http://www.google.com]

gives [1]

If you want to give the link a different name, simply write it after the url like this, [http://www.yourstuff.com/ Your awesome Stuff]

example

[http://www.google.com Ze Almighty Google!]

gives 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 # for a number, or a * for a bullet.

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

Will give you

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

Similarly, for numbered lists you get,

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

Will give you

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

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

#item 1
# Ze item 2, with an extra space

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

Will give you

1. item 1
2. Ze item 2, with an extra space

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

And there you go.
