Wiki Mark-Up
The Wiki editor uses a specialized form of mark-up to create links, headers, lists, and other display items. The best way to learn the mark-up is to edit current articles. By looking at the source, you will gain knowledge by example. Here is a rundown of mark-up codes you will find useful while editing and creating articles.
| == Level 2 Header ==
=== Level 3 Header === ==== Level 4 Header ==== |
Level 2 Header Level 3 Header Level 4 Header |
|
Creating Lists * Item One in a bulleted list |
|
|
Definition List ; Definition list : list of definitions ; item : the item's definition One item per line, NEWLINE only before the colon. The space before the colon improves parsing. |
|
|
Indentation : A colon indents a line or paragraph. A manual newline starts a new paragraph. |
A manual newline starts a new paragraph.
|
|
Emphasis The characters below are all single quotation marks. None are double quotation marks. ''Emphasis One'' (two quotation marks) |
Emphasis One |
|
Internal Wiki Links Links to internal pages use the following mark-up: [[PageName|LinkText]] LinkText can be left out: Example: [[The Cadets]] are awesome! |
My corps is awesome! The Cadets are awesome! |
|
External Web Links Links to external websites use the following mark-up: [URL LinkText] Please use external links sparingly. In general they should only be used under an "external links" heading at the bottom of an article. LinkText can be left out, in which case the link will be displayed as a footnote. This technique is not recommended. |
The Blue Devils are awesome! |
