Basic Formatting in the Wiki

Unfortunately this tutorial won't have pretty pictures. Sorry about that :(.

Italics, Bold, Underline

  • To make something italicised, you need to put two apostrophes either side of the word or sentence:
 ''italicise this''
  • To make something bold, you need to put three apostrophes either side of the word or sentence:
'''make this bold'''
  • To make something bold and italic, put five apostrophes either side of the word or sentence:
'''''make this bold and italicised'''''
  • To underline something, you have to use HTML tags:
<u>make this underlined</u>

Lists and Tables

Making a bullet-point list is easy in the wiki. All you need to do is put a star (*) at the beginning of each list item, and it looks like this:

  • Item One
  • Item Two
  • Item Three, etc.
* Item One
* Item Two
* Item Three, etc.

Tables are much more complicated, and I only really use them for embedding images in text. The easiest way to get a good one is to copy and paste the coding below.

This makes the image within the text and not at the side
{|
|-
|[[image:trixxiee.png|thumb|This makes the image within the text and not at the side]]
|}

To add more images in one table, just keep adding

|-
|[[image:filename.png]]

before the close table sign ( |} )

Note that this puts the images in different rows; to keep them in the same row, omit the '|-' line, like so:

{|
|-
|[[image:trixxiee.png|thumb|This makes the image within the text and not at the side]]
|[[Image:deci.png|thumb|This image is next to the other]]
|}

The above code creates this:

This makes the image within the text and not at the side
This image is next to the other
