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