== # Fonts ==

----

=== #* Bold and Italic ===

Create '''bold''' and ''italic'' text by using a repeated single quote character before and after the text to be emphasized.

Use 2 quotes for italic, 3 quotes for bold, or 5 for both:

: <pre>Here's ''italic'' and '''bold''' or '''''bold & italic'''''</pre>

: Here's ''italic'' and '''bold''' or '''''bold & italic'''''

----

=== #* Underline and Strike ===

Use 2 underscores to underline, and 3 hyphens to strike:

: <pre>Here's __underlined__ and ---striken text---, or a __mix ---of the--- two__.</pre>

: Here's __underlined__ and ---striken text---, or a __mix ---of the--- two__.

----

=== #* Large and Small ===

Use 2 plus "++" symbols to make text bigger, +++ is bigger, ++++ is biggest:

: <pre>This is ++big++, this is +++bigger+++, this is ++++biggest++++.</pre>

: This is ++big++, this is +++bigger+++, this is ++++biggest++++.

Use 2 tilde "~~" symbols to make text smaller, ~~~ is smaller, ~~~~ even smaller:

: <pre>This is ~~small~~, this is ~~~smaller~~~, this is ~~~~smallest~~~~.</pre>

: This is ~~small~~, this is ~~~smaller~~~, this is ~~~~smallest~~~~.

----

=== #* Sub and Superscript ===

Use the caret "^" symbol to invoke superscript, 2 carets "^^" for subscript:

: <pre>This is ^superscript^ and this is ^^subscript^^</pre>

: This is ^superscript^ and this is ^^subscript^^

----

=== #* Fixed-Width ===

Create monospace text by using a space as the first character on a line:

This is text in a monospace font

== # Headlines ==

----

=== #* Section Headlines ===

Up to six levels of headline can be used.

Create headlines by using an "=" equals as the first character on a line.

:Note a space must separate the headline text from the "=" equals.

<pre>

= Section Headline 1 =

== Section Headline 2 ==

=== Section Headline Three ===

==== Section Headline Four ====

===== Section Headline 5 =====

====== Section Headline 6 ======

</pre><ul>

= Section Headline 1 =

== Section Headline 2 ==

=== Section Headline Three ===

==== Section Headline Four ====

===== Section Headline 5 ====

====== Section Headline 6 ======

</ul>

Sections headlines correspond to, and are implemented as, the HTML tags <no><h1> to <h5></no>

----

=== #* Automatic Table of Contents ===

This variation on the previous item, ''Section Headlines,'' adds a table of contents that is linked to each headline, in place of a special "toc" tag placed anywhere in a document:

<html>&#60&#116&#111&#99&#62</html>

Each headline and its matching entry in the table of contents can be numbered in the order they appear on the page, or not numbered, or a mixture of both, using the following codes:

<pre>

== # Number on headline. Number on item in table of contents. ==

== * No number on headline. No number on item in table of contents. ==

== #* No number on headline. Number on item in table of contents. ==

</pre>

== # Layout ==

----

=== #* Paragraphs ===

<pre>To separate paragraphs simply leave a blank line between.

Like this.

</pre>

----

=== #* Indentation ===

Indent sentences or entire paragraphs by using a ":" colon as the first character on a line:

<pre>

:Text

::More text

:::Yet more text

</pre>

:Text

::More text

:::Yet more text

To indent the first sentence of a paragraph begin the line with two semicolons ";;":

<pre>

;;The first line of this paragraph will be indented by four non-breaking spaces.

</pre>

;;The first line of this paragraph will be indented by four non-breaking spaces. The first line of this paragraph will be indented by four non-breaking spaces. The first line of this paragraph will be indented by four non-breaking spaces.

----

=== #* New lines ===

Use <no><br></no> to change the line:

First line<no><br></no>

Next line

* Use 2 commas ",," at the end of a line to insert <no><br></no>

* A colon ":" put on a line by itself will also break lines.

----

=== #* Alignment ===

----

*<tt><no>[[[ left align [[[</no></tt>

[[[ left align [[[

----

*<tt><no>]]] centered [[[</no></tt>

]]] centered [[[

----

*<tt><no>]]] right align ]]]</no></tt>

]]] right align ]]]

----

*<tt><no>[[[ justify text ]]]</no></tt>

[[[ ~~Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Nam ligula arcu, mattis vitae, vehicula sed, fermentum quis, nisl. Nunc vel dui vel nulla iaculis suscipit. Aliquam ac sem. Morbi gravida, eros at lacinia ullamcorper, lectus tortor porttitor eros, lobortis sagittis nibh libero vitae diam. Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas. Cras non justo sit amet nisi volutpat posuere. Integer convallis sodales leo. Curabitur interdum egestas magna. Nullam ac augue id leo imperdiet aliquet. In varius. Sed eu ante. Cras euismod varius nisl.~~ ]]]

*A bug in our justify markup requires the enclosed text be wrapped in either ++ or -- <a href="#Large_and_Small">font size markup</a>.

----

=== #* Preformatted Text ===

Any text placed between a pair of "pre" tags ''should'' appear exactly as entered, so that ascii art and code can be included:

<pre>

|

\ / _\/_

.-'-. //o\ _\/_

_ ___ __ _ --_ / \ _--_ __ __ | __ /o\\

=-=-_=-=-_=-=_=-_= -=======- = =-=_=-=_,-'|"'_"'"--|-,_

=- _=-=-_=- _=-= _--=====- _=-=_-_,-" (") |

jgs=- =- =-= =- = - -===- -= - ." '-( : )-'\

... anything is possible...

</pre>

----

=== #* Lists ===

Create bulleted and numbered lists by using an asterisk * or hash # as the first character on a line:

<pre>

* bullets

## numbered list depth two

* bullets

** indented bullets

# numbered list

# numbered list

## indented list

## indented list

### depth 3 indented list

### more

## and more

# and more

</pre>

* bullets

## numbered list depth two

* bullets

** indented bullets

# numbered list

# numbered list

## indented list

## indented list

### depth 3 indented list

### more

## and more

# and more

'''Note:''' when you use # inside ''Section Headlines,'' the first level __won't__ be numbered.

----

==== #* Definition Lists ====

A definition list can be created by placing a ";" semicolon as the first character on a line, and using a ":" colon to separate the term from the definition. The colon must be on the same line as the semicolon; Definitions can be indented by repeated use of the ";" semicolon.

<pre>

;Term:Definition

;Verse:The owl and the pussy cat went to sea

;;Indented Term:Definition of an indented term

</pre>

;Term:Definition

;Verse:The owl and the pussy cat went to sea

;;Indented Term:Definition of an indented term

----

=== #* Tables ===

||'''Column A'''||'''Column B'''||'''Column C'''||

||Entry for row 1, Column A||Entry for row 1, Column B||Entry for row 1, Column C||

||Entry for row 2, Column A||Entry for row 2, Column B||Entry for row 2, Column C||

||||Spanning entry|| Entry for row 3, Column C ||

||||||More spanning||

The above table is done like this:

<pre>

||'''Column A'''||'''Column B'''||'''Column C'''||

||Entry for row 1, Column A||Entry for row 1, Column B||Entry for row 1, Column C||

||Entry for row 2, Column A||Entry for row 2, Column B||Entry for row 2, Column C||

||||Spanning entry|| Entry for row 3, Column C ||

||||||More spanning||

</pre>

For more control with tables use HTML.

----

=== #* Horizontal Lines ===

Use four "-" hyphens (minuses) as the first characters of a line.

----

=== #* Mdash ===

Use two "-" hyphens for an mdash (escape this sequence with <no>!--</no>)

: Two hyphens--between words.

----

=== #* Line Continuation ===

Continue a line of text by using a "\" backslash. This can be useful for breaking up long lines of text in line sensitive sections such as lists or indented text:

* This bullet\\

<br>point could have a long\\

<br>sentence that takes several lines.

* This bullet\

point could have a long\

sentence that takes several lines.

== # Escaping Markup Rules ==

----

These tags are used to toggle wiki markup rules or extended HTML within a piece of text surrounded by them:

* <no><no></no> disables wiki markup rules.

* <no><pre></no> encodes everything for ASCII art and blocks of code.

* <no><html></no> enables extended use of supported HTML markup.

----

=== #* Plural WikiWords ===

Use "" to terminate a WikiWord for plurals, avoiding a link to WikiWords:

: <tt><no>WikiWord""s</no></tt>

: WikiWord""s
