11 //"Wiki wiki"// means "quick" in Hawai'ian.
13 **All you really need to know is:**
14 * To edit any page click on the //Edit//. You should do that right now, and read the source code of this page. It will make more sense.
15 * You get italics by surrounding words with two slashes on either side //like this//.
16 * You get **bold text** by using two asterisks on either side.
17 * And, **//bold italics//** by using both.
18 * You get ##monospaced text## by using two hash signs on either side.
19 * You get bullets by using an asterisk * at the start of the line.
20 * To have a paragraph in plain monospaced font, start it with ~{~{~{ and end it with ~}~}~}:
22 this is a poem for sure
24 i wrote in purple velour
25 but couldn't find a rhyme for monospacing
27 * You separate paragraphs with an extra blank line. Example:
31 I am a paragraph too. We're just very small paragraphs.
33 * You can get horizontal rules with four or more dashes like this:
37 * To create hyperlinks you just capitalize the words and string them
38 together. Let's say you want to create a page about how Steve
39 Wainstead eats worms. All you have to do is capitalize each word and
40 string them together like this: SteveWainsteadEatsLiveWorms. If the
41 page does not exist yet a question mark appears after the link,
42 inviting you to create the page: ThisPageShouldNotExist. (And please
43 don't ruin the example by creating one.)
44 * To link to pages outside the Wiki, you can just type in the URL and
45 Wiki will link it for you: http://www.nytimes.com/
46 * To put images in, just provide the hyperlink in brackets like this:
47 ~[~http://www.yourhost.yourdomain/images/picture.png]. Image URLs not
48 in brackets will just appear as hyperlinks to the image.
49 * Now you are ready to begin [[Help:AddingPages|adding pages]].
53 A [[Help:WikiWikiWeb|WikiWikiWeb]] is meant to be fast and easy to edit. It has very simple
54 markup that you can read about in [[Help:TextFormattingRules]].
58 If you don't like the size of the text editing window you get, you can
59 change it. See [[UserPreferences]].
