| + | This page provides general help and examples for formatting on this MediaWiki. |
| − | You can format your text by using wiki markup. This consists of normal characters like asterisks, apostrophes or equal signs which have a special function in the wiki, sometimes depending on their position. For example, to format a word in ''italic'', you include it in two pairs of apostrophes like <code><nowiki>''this''</nowiki></code>.

| − | if True:
| + | A header can be created by surrounding a portion of text on a new line in the editor by a number of equals signs such as <br>''==New section==''<br>To create a sub-heading of a current header, simply add one more pair of equals signs to the sub-heading such as: |
| − | print True
| + | <br>''===New Subsection 1===''<br> |
| − | else:
| |
| − | print False</nowiki></translate>
| |
| − | |}
| |
| − | <translate>
| |
| | | | |
| − | == Paragraphs == <!--T:78--> | + | '''Advanced'''<br> |
| | + | The wiki will automatically assign sections with more pairs of equals signs to be subsections of the previous section with one or more less pairs of equals signs. If no subsection exists with only one less pair in the current parent section, then such a grouping will take on the heiarchy as though it had only one more than its parent. For example, if a series of sections was just: |
| | + | <br>''==New Section 1==''<br>''====New Subsubsection A====''<br>''====New Subsubsection B====''<br> |
| | + | The four pair subsubsections would be treated as three pair subsections of ''New Section 1''. If it was however: |
| | + | <br>''==New Section 1==''<br>''====New Subsubsection A====''<br>''===New Subsection C===''<br>''====New Subsubsection B====''<br> |
| | + | Then ''Subsubsection A'' would be treated the same as ''Subsection C'' and ''Subsubsection B'' would be pushed under ''Subsection C''. This usually only affects the automatically created headings for page navigation, but is useful if you use beyond just subsections. |
| | | | |
| − | <!--T:79-->
| + | ==Links== |
| − | MediaWiki ignores single line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can force a line break within a paragraph with the HTML tag <code><br /></code>.
| + | ===Internal=== |
| | + | Simply surround a page title with two sets of brackets. This can also be done by highlighting a page name and clicking the internal link button on the shortcut bar. |
| | + | <br>''[[ ]]'' with text becomes ''[[Main_Page]]''<br> |
| | + | This will create a link to the page with the link appearing as the page exact page name. If the link does not exist, it will appear red and when clicked will prompt the user to either create the page or go back. |
| | + | <br>An example of a broken link is [[Maine_Page]]. |
| | | | |
| − | == HTML tags == <!--T:80-->
| + | To add custom text to link to a page used the brackets with a line in the middle with the page name on the left and the custom text on the right <br>''[[ | ]]''. Doing this for the same main page link can produce something [[Main_Page|like this]]. |
| | | | |
| − | <!--T:81--> | + | '''Advanced'''<br> |
| − | Some [[wikipedia:HTML|HTML]] tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <code><code></code>, <code><div></code>, and <code><nowiki><span></nowiki></code>. These apply anywhere you insert them.
| + | You can also link to specific headings and subheadings on pages. To link a level two heading (two equals signs on each side) or one that is treated as such, add a hashtag (#) after the page name in your link and follow it with the name of the subheading. |
| − | </translate> | + | <br> For example, using ''Main_Page#Advanced_Guides'' gives you [[Main_Page#Advanced_Guides]] <br> |
| − | {| class="wikitable"
| + | You can likewise use custom text to change how the link appears but still take you to the section, such as |
| − | ! <translate><!--T:82--> Description</translate>

| − | Symbols and other special characters not available on your keyboard can be inserted in a multitude of ways. Many [http://www.howtogeek.com/210824/how-to-quickly-type-special-characters-on-any-computer-smartphone-or-tablet/ Operating Systems and browsers] allow you to insert special characters through a menu option or Operating System panel. Additionally, you can use the WikiEditor or [[VisualEditor/Special characters|VisualEditor]] to insert them into the edit screen.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <!--T:166-->
| |
| − | As a last resort, you can use a special sequence of characters. Those sequences are called HTML entities. For example, the following sequence (entity) '''&rarr;''' when inserted will be shown as <ins>right arrow</ins> HTML symbol → and '''&mdash;''' when inserted will be shown as an <ins>em dash</ins> HTML symbol —. </translate>
