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
