[edit] Basic editing

The following formatting commands are mostly ones that you could figure out by using the buttons above this editing box.

Some html tags are also permitted but wiki formatting is recommended over these. WikiTeX: latex reported a failure, namely:

[edit] Text formatting

Bold text - make text bold with triple single quotes. '''bold''' will make text bold.

Italic text - make text italic with double single quotes, like ' ' italic ' '

To create bullet points, put a * at the beginning of a line.

  • like
  • this

[edit] Adding links

The URL for the main page of Wikia is http://www.wikicities.com/index.php/Wikia. To create a link to it from another page within Wikia (an "internal link"), the format is [[Wikia]] which creates Wikia.

If the name of the internal link and the text label you want to appear are different, give the page name, a vertical line and then the label. [[Wikia:Sandbox|Sandbox]] which creates Sandbox.

title - is an example (non-functioning link) from the word or label "title" to a a non-existent (Since, no page for "target" exists -- at least not when this was written -- this link will appear in red and will take you to a page were you could create such a page.) The format is [[target|title]]. Put internal links in double square brackets, like [[ ]] with the link first and the title or label for the link after a vertical line "|" [[link-goes-here|title]]

example external link - is an example link from the words "link title" to http://www.example.com. Put external links in single square brackets, like [ ] with the link first and the title or label for the link after a space [http://link-goes-here title]. The link at the beginning of this paragraph was created with [http://www.example.com example external link]

A link between two Wikia is an interwiki link.

[edit] Headline text

A level 2 headline is created with a double equals sign on either side of the text, like == header ==.

A third level header has 3 equals either side, and so on.

[edit] No formatting

To prevent the effect of wiki formatting use <nowiki> tags around the text. <nowiki>This [[link]] will not show up as a link</nowiki>.

[edit] Signatures

You can sign a talk page using 3 tildes (~~~). Four will sign with your name and a timestamp. 6 will sign only a timestamp.

[edit] Indenting

Use colons to indent text.

First level indent
Second level indent

:First level indent ::Second level indent

[edit] Lists

Adding * at the beginning of a line will form a bulleted list.

  • 1st bullet
  • 2nd bullet
  • etc ...

Adding # at the beginning of a line will form a numbered list.

  1. 1st
  2. 2nd
  3. etc ...

[edit] Diving lines

Four dashes will produce a horizontal line across the page. ----

[edit] Preformatted text

Preformatted text can be produced by using a space before a line. 

this is an example
