The Wiki Formatting Guide

Anything between 2 sets of double-quotes is ignored and presented exactly as typed (that means the formatting commands below are ignored whenever surrounded by double double-quotes.)

Once you've read through this, test your formatting skills in the SandBox.

Basic formatting:

**I'm bold text!**

And I'm __underlined__!

Wiki Extensions:

Images:

To place images on a Wiki page, use:
{{image class="center" alt="DVD logo" title="An Image Link" url="images/dvdvideo.gif" link="RecentChanges"}}

Links can be external, or internal Wiki links. You don't have to enter a link at all, and in that case just an image will be inserted. You can also use the classes 'left' and 'right' to float images left and right. You don't need to use all those attributes, only url is essential.

Tables:

To create a table use this code:
{{table columns="3" cellpadding="1" cells="BIG;GREEN;FROGS;yes;yes;no;no;no;###"}} to give:

BIG	GREEN	FROGS
yes	yes	no
no	no

### means the cell is empty.

Coloured Text:

{{colour c="blue" text="This is a test."}} gives:

This is a test.

If you want to use hex values:

{{colour hex="#DD0000" text="This is another test."}} to give:

This is another test.
