Line 1: Line 1:
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.

== Paragraphs ==
 
 
 
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>.
 
 
 
== HTML tags ==
 
 
 
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.

== 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>").

:'' For MediaWiki's database table structure, see <tvar|1>{{ll|Manual:Database layout}}''
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
'''Tables''' may be created in wiki pages.
 
 
 
 
 
As a general rule, it is best to avoid using a table unless you need one.
 
 
 
 
 
Table markup often complicates page editing.<ref> Tables can be created using either HTML table elements directly, or using wikicode formatting to define the table.
 
 
 
 
 
HTML table elements and their use are well described on various web pages and will not be discussed here.
 
 
 
 
 
The benefit of wikicode is that the table is constructed of character symbols which tend to make it easier to perceive the table structure in the article editing view compared to HTML table elements.</ref>
 
 
 
 
 
== Wiki table markup summary ==

| style="padding: 5px;" |  '''table header''' cell, ''optional.''  Consecutive '''table header''' cells may be added on same line separated by double marks (<code>!!</code>) or start on new lines, each with its own single mark (<code>!</code>).

| style="padding: 5px;" | 9 '''table end''', ''required''
 
|}
 
 
 
 
 
*The above marks must '''start on a new line''' except the double <code>||</code> and <code>!!</code> for optionally adding consecutive cells to a line. However, blank spaces at the beginning of a line are ignored.
 
*''' HTML attributes.'''  Each mark, except table end, optionally accepts one or more HTML attributes.  Attributes must be on the same line as the mark.  Separate attributes from each other with a single space.
 
 
 
 
 
**Cells and caption (<code>|</code> or <code>||</code>, <code>!</code> or <code>!!</code>, and <code>|+</code>) hold content.  So separate any attributes from content with a single pipe (<code>|</code>).  Cell content may follow on same line or on following lines.
 
 
 
 
 
**Table and row marks (<code>{|</code> and <code>|-</code>) do not directly hold content.  Do ''not'' add pipe (<code>|</code>) after their optional attributes.  If you erroneously add a pipe after attributes for the table mark or row mark the parser will delete it ''and'' your final attribute if it was touching the erroneous pipe!
 
 
 
 
 
*'''Content''' may (a) follow its cell mark on the same line after any optional HTML attributes or (b) on lines below the cell mark.  Content that uses wiki markup that itself needs to start on a new line, such as lists, headings, or nested tables, must be on its own new line.
 
 
 
 
 
**'''Pipe character as content.'''
 
To insert a pipe (<code>|</code>) character into a table, use the &lt;nowiki&gt;<code>|</code>&lt;/nowiki&gt; escaping markup.
 
 
 
==Basics==
 
 
 
 
 
The following table lacks borders and good spacing but shows the simplest wiki markup table structure.

The cells in the same row can be listed on one line separated by <code>||</code> (two pipe symbols).
 
 
 
 
 
If the text in the cell should contain a line break, use <tvar|br><code><nowiki><br/></nowiki></code> instead.

==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 <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>
  
=== Table headers ===  
+
'''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.
  
 +
==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]].
  
Table headers can be created by using "<code>!</code>" (exclamation mark) instead of "<code>|</code>" (pipe symbol).  
+
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]].
  
 +
'''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]]
  
Headers usually show up bold and centered by default.
+
If you need to link to subsubsections you can follow the hashtagged section with an underscore and the section number. [[Warrior#Details_1_3]]

== HTML attributes ==
 
 
 
You can add HTML attributes to tables.
 
 
 
For the authoritative source on these, see [<tvar|url>https://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/tables.html the W3C's HTML Specification page on tables].
 
 
=== Attributes on tables ===
 
 
 
Placing attributes after the table start tag (<code>{|</code>) applies attributes to the entire table.

=== Attributes on cells ===
 
 
 
You can put attributes on individual '''cells'''.
 
 
 
For example, numbers may look better aligned right.

|  Butter
 
|  Ice cream
 
| style="text-align:right;" | 1.00
 
|}
 
|}
 
 
 
 
You can also use '''cell''' attributes when you are listing multiple '''cells''' on a single line.
 
 
 
Note that the '''cells''' are separated by <code>||</code>, and within each '''cell''' the attribute(s) and value are separated by <code>|</code>.

===Simple one-pixel table border===
 
 
 
An example of a one-pixel table border:
 
 
 
{| style="width:100%"
 
|-
 
! style="width:50%" |  You type
 
! style="width:50%" |  You get
 
|-
 
| style="padding: 5px;" |
 
<pre>
 
{| border="1" style="border-collapse:collapse"
 
|  Orange
 
|  Apple
 
|-
 
|  Bread
 
|  Pie
 
|}
 
</pre>
 
| style="padding: 20px;"|
 
{| border="1" style="border-collapse:collapse"
 
|  Orange
 
|  Apple
 
|-
 
|  Bread
 
|  Pie
 
|}
 
|}
 
 
 
===Border width===
 
 
 
If "border-width:" has only one number, it is for all four border sides:
 
 
{| style="width:100%"
 
|-
 
! style="width:50%" |  You type
 
! style="width:50%" |  You get
 
|-
 
| style="padding: 5px;" |
 
<pre>
 
{|style="border-style: solid; border-width: 20px"
 
|
 
Hello
 
|}
 
</pre>
 
| style="padding: 20px;"|
 
{|style="border-style: solid; border-width: 20px"
 
|
 
Hello
 
|}
 
|}
 
 
 
 
If "border-width:" has more than one number, the four numbers are for '''top, right, bottom, left (REMEMBER this order)''':
 
 
{| style="width:100%"
 
|-
 
! style="width:50%" |  You type
 
! style="width:50%" |  You get
 
|-
 
| style="padding: 5px;" |
 
<pre>
 
{|style="border-style: solid; border-width: 10px 20px 100px 0"
 
|
 
Hello
 
|}
 
</pre>
 
| style="padding: 20px;"|
 
{|style="border-style: solid; border-width: 10px 20px 100px 0"
 
|
 
Hello
 
|}
 
|}
 
 
 
 
:When there are fewer than 4 values, the value for left takes its default from the value for right, the value for bottom takes its default from the value for top, and the value for right takes its default from the value for top.
 
 
 
 
Another method to define the widths of the four sides of a cell is to use ''"border-left", "border-right", "border-top" and "border-bottom"'':
 
<div style="width: 100%; overflow:auto;">
 
{| style="width:100%"
 
|-

|
 
Hello
 
|}
 
</pre>
 
| style="padding: 20px;"|
 
{|style="border-left:solid 10px black;border-right:solid 20px black;border-top:solid 30px black;border-bottom:solid 40px black;" align="center"

Hello
 
|}
 
|}
 
</div>
 
 
{{Note|1=<nowiki/>
 
 
* The HTML attributes (such as "width=", "border=", "cellspacing=", "cellpadding=") do not need any length unit (the pixel unit is assumed).  They are also invalid in HTML 5.
 
 
 
The CSS style properties (which override the HTML attributes) require an explicit length unit (if the value is not 0) such as "px" for the pixel.

'''This column is 70% counted from 85% of the screen width (and has a background color)'''
 
|}
 
</pre>
 
 
 
 
You get:

| style="width: 70%; background-color: orange;"|  '''This column is 70% counted from 85% of the screen width (and has a background color)'''
 
|}
 
 
 
 
===Accessibility of table header cells===
 
 
 
Table header cells do not explicitly specify which table data cells they apply to (those on their right on the same row, or those below them on the same column).
 
 
 
When the table is rendered in a visual 2D environment, this is usually easy to infer.
 
 
 
However when tables are rendered on non-visual media, you can help the browser to determine which table header cell applies to the description of any selected cell (in order to repeat its content in some accessibility helper) using a scope="row" or scope="col" attribute on table header cells.
 
 
 
In most cases with simple tables, you'll use scope="col" on all header cells of the first row, and scope="row" on the first cell of the following rows:
 
 
 
{| style="width:100%"
 
! style="width: 50%;"| You type
 
! style="width: 50%;"| You get
 
|-
 
| style="padding: 5px;"|
 
<pre>
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
|-
 
! scope="col"|  Item
 
! scope="col"|  Quantity
 
! scope="col"|  Price
 
|-
 
! scope="row"|  Bread
 
| 0.3 kg
 
| $0.65
 
|-
 
! scope="row"|  Butter
 
| 0.125 kg
 
| $1.25
 
|-
 
! scope="row" colspan="2"|  Total
 
| $1.90
 
|}
 
</pre>
 
| style="padding: 5px;"|
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
|-
 
! scope="col"|  Item
 
! scope="col"|  Quantity
 
! scope="col"|  Price
 
|-
 
! scope="row"|  Bread
 
| 0.3 kg
 
| $0.65
 
|-
 
! scope="row"|  Butter
 
| 0.125 kg
 
| $1.25
 
|-
 
! scope="row" colspan="2"|  Total
 
| $1.90
 
|}
 
|}
 
 
 
== Alignment ==
 
 
=== Table alignment ===
 
 
 
Table alignment is achieved by using CSS.
 
 
 
The table alignment is controlled by margins.
 
 
 
A fixed margin on one side will make the table to be aligned to that side, if on the opposite side the margin is defined as ''auto''.
 
 
 
To have a table center aligned, you should set both margins to ''auto''
 
 
 
 
For example, a right-aligned table:
 
 
{| style="width:100%"
 
! style="width: 50%;"| You type
 
! style="width: 50%;"| You get
 
|-
 
| style="padding: 5px;"|
 
<pre>
 
{| class="wikitable" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: 0px;"
 
|  Orange
 
|  Apple
 
|-
 
|  Bread
 
|  Pie
 
|-
 
|  Butter
 
|  Ice cream
 
|}
 
</pre>
 
| style="padding: 5px;"|
 
{| class="wikitable" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: 0px;"
 
|  Orange
 
|  Apple
 
|-
 
|  Bread
 
|  Pie
 
|-
 
|  Butter
 
|  Ice cream
 
|}
 
|}
 
 
 
 
And a center-aligned table:
 
 
{| style="width:100%"
 
! style="width: 50%;"| You type
 
! style="width: 50%;"| You get
 
|-
 
| style="padding: 5px;"|
 
<pre>
 
{| class="wikitable" style="margin: auto;"
 
|  Orange
 
|  Apple
 
|-
 
|  Bread
 
|  Pie
 
|-
 
|  Butter
 
|  Ice cream
 
|}
 
</pre>
 
| style="padding: 5px;"|
 
{| class="wikitable" style="margin: auto;"
 
|  Orange
 
|  Apple
 
|-
 
|  Bread
 
|  Pie
 
|-
 
|  Butter
 
|  Ice cream
 
|}
 
|}
 
 
 
=== Table floating around text ===
 
 
 
If you align a table to the right or the left side of the page, the text that comes after the table starts at the end of it, leaving an empty space around the table.
 
 
 
You can make the text to be wrapped around the table by making the table to ''float'' around the text instead of just aligning it.
 
 
 
This can be achieved using the <code>float</code> CSS attribute, which can specify where the table floats to the right side or to the left.
 
 
 
When using ''float'', margins doesn't control table alignment and can be used to specify the margin between the table and the surrounding text.
 
 
{| style="width:100%"
 
! style="width: 50%;"| You type
 
! style="width: 50%;"| You get
 
|-
 
| style="padding: 5px;"|
 
<pre>
 
{| class="wikitable" style="float:right; margin-left: 10px;"

=== Cell contents alignment ===
 
 
 
The alignment of cell contents can be controlled with 2 different CSS properties: <code>text-align</code> and <code>vertical-align</code>.
 
 
 
<code>text-align</code> can be specified at the table, row or individual cells, while <code>vertical-align</code> only can be specified at individual rows or cells.
 
 
{| style="width:100%"
 
! style="width: 50%;"| You type

| style="height:100px; width:100px; text-align:right;" | C
 
|- style="vertical-align:middle;"
 
| style="height:100px; width:100px; text-align:left;" | D
 
| style="height:100px; width:100px; text-align:center;" | E

| style="height:100px; width:100px; text-align:right;" | I
 
|}
 
|}
 
 
 
==Caveats==
 
 
===Negative numbers===
 
 
 
If you start a cell on a new line with a negative number with a minus sign (or a parameter that evaluates to a negative number), your table can get broken, because the characters <code>|-</code> will be parsed as the wiki markup for table row, not table cell.
 
 
 
To avoid this, insert a space before the value (<code>| -6</code>) or use in-line cell markup (<code>|| -6</code>).
 
 
===CSS vs attributes===
 
 
 
Table borders specified through CSS rather than the border attribute will render incorrectly in a small subset of text browsers.
 
 
===Common attributes for columns, column groups and row groups===
 
 
 
The MediaWiki syntax for tables currently offers no support for specifying common attributes for columns (with the HTML element <tvar|col><code><nowiki><col /></nowiki></code>), column groups (HTML element <tvar|colgroup><code><nowiki><colgroup></colgroup></nowiki></code>) and row groups (HTML elements <tvar|thead><code><nowiki><thead></thead></nowiki></code>, <tvar|tbody><code><nowiki><tbody></tbody></nowiki></code> and <tvar|tfoot><code><nowiki><tfoot></tfoot></nowiki></code>).
 
 
 
Those standard HTML elements are not accepted even in their HTML or XHTML syntax.
 
 
 
 
All the rows and cells (header or data) of the table are rendered within a single implicit row group (HTML element <code><nowiki><tbody></tbody></nowiki></code>) without any attributes or styles.

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

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Links

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
