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>.

This page provides general help and examples for formatting on this MediaWiki.

Then your block format will be

This is good for copying in code blocks:

==Section/Subsection Headers==
    """documentation string"""
+
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:
 +
<br>''===New Subsection 1===''<br>
  
if True:
+
'''Advanced'''<br>
        print True
+
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:
    else:
+
<br>''==New Section 1==''<br>''====New Subsubsection A====''<br>''====New Subsubsection B====''<br> 
        print False</nowiki>
+
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.
  
== Paragraphs ==  
+
==Links==
 +
===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]].
  
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>&lt;br /></code>.
+
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]].
  
== HTML tags ==
+
'''Advanced'''<br>
 +
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.
 +
<br> For example, using ''Main_Page#Advanced_Guides'' gives you [[Main_Page#Advanced_Guides]] <br>
 +
You can likewise use custom text to change how the link appears but still take you to the section, such as
 +
<br>[[Main_Page#Advanced_Guides|Main Page]] or [[Main_Page#Advanced_Guides|Super Duper Advanced Guides]]
  
Some [[wikipedia:HTML|HTML]] tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <code>&lt;code></code>, <code>&lt;div></code>, and <code><nowiki><span></nowiki></code>. These apply anywhere you insert them.
+
If you need to link to subsubsections you can follow the hashtagged section with an underscore and the section number. [[Warrior#Details_1_3]]

== Inserting symbols ==
 
 
 
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 to insert them into the edit screen.
 
 
 
As a last resort, you can use a special sequence of characters. Those sequences are called HTML entities. For example, the following sequence (entity) '''&amp;rarr;''' when inserted will be shown as <ins>right arrow</ins> HTML symbol &rarr; and '''&amp;mdash;''' when inserted will be shown as an <ins>em dash</ins> HTML symbol &mdash;.

See the list of all HTML entities on the Wikipedia article [[wikipedia:List of HTML entities|List of HTML entities]]. Additionally, MediaWiki supports two non-standard entity reference sequences: <code>&amp;רלמ;</code> and <code>&amp;رلم;</code> which are both considered equivalent to <code>&amp;rlm;</code> which is a [[wikipedia:Right-to-left mark|right-to-left mark]]. (Used when combining right to left languages with left to right languages in the same page.)

=== Nowiki for HTML ===
 
 
<<nowiki />nowiki /> can prohibit (HTML) tags:
 
* <nowiki><<</nowiki>nowiki />pre> &nbsp;&rarr; <<nowiki/>pre>
 
But ''not'' &amp; symbol escapes:
 
* &<<nowiki />nowiki />amp; &nbsp;&rarr; &amp;
 
To print &amp; symbol escapes as text, use "<code>&amp;amp;</code>" to replace the "&" character (eg. type "<code>&amp;amp;nbsp;</code>", which results in "<code>&amp;nbsp;</code>").

This page provides general help and examples for formatting on this MediaWiki.

Text Formatting

To italicize text, surround it with two apostrophes on each side
Like this

To bold text, surround it with three apostrophes on each side
Like this

Both effects can be combined with five apostrophes on each side
Like this

Section/Subsection Headers

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
==New section==
To create a sub-heading of a current header, simply add one more pair of equals signs to the sub-heading such as:
===New Subsection 1===

Advanced
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:
==New Section 1==
====New Subsubsection A====
====New Subsubsection B====
The four pair subsubsections would be treated as three pair subsections of New Section 1. If it was however:
==New Section 1==
====New Subsubsection A====
===New Subsection C===
====New Subsubsection B====
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.

Links

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.
[[ ]] with text becomes Main_Page
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.
An example of a broken link is Maine_Page.

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
[[ | ]]. Doing this for the same main page link can produce something like this.

Advanced
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.
For example, using Main_Page#Advanced_Guides gives you Main_Page#Advanced_Guides
You can likewise use custom text to change how the link appears but still take you to the section, such as
Main Page or Super Duper Advanced Guides

If you need to link to subsubsections you can follow the hashtagged section with an underscore and the section number. Warrior#Details_1_3

Table Formatting

Cell / Table Style Modifiers

A style line has format
style="option1:value1; option2: value2;... ;"
such as
style="text-align:center; font-size: 85%;"


Opening / Closing Lines

Open with
{| class="wikitable"

and close with
|}

In your opening line you can specify



Blimp Fish Frosted Perch Damage Da Flounder Key
Lake Kingsport Shiny Metal+Bloody Flesh+Eye Worm
Highsteppe Pond Rare fish only
Guild City Shiny Metal+Large Minnow Rare fish+common
