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