General layout
If you leave a blank line between two lines of text then it will start a new paragraph. Also if you want to start a new line at any time use <br />. You can also use horizonal rules by using <hr />.If you want to give emphasis to text you can use ''italic'', '''bold''' or combine them both together to make text bold and italic.
Linking
To create a link to another wiki page simply put two square brackets around it. Such as [[Homepage]]. To link to an external website use [http://www.example.com/].You can also display different text to where the link goes. For example [[Homepage|this text links to the homepage]] would produce this text links to the homepage. This also works with external links.
Headings
You can create different sections by using equals signs. 2 for a main section which can then be linked to. For example to link to this headings section you would use [[Formatting Guide#Headings]].You can also use sub headings. These are smaller and do not draw a line below (although the line is just a CSS thing and might not be on your skin anyway). You cannot link to these sections. Use 3 equals signs for the first sub-heading and 4 equals signs for an even smaller one.
Images
If you want to display an image on the site use [Image:url-goes-here]. You can also add a alt (alternative text) tag to the image by using [Image:url-goes-here|Alt text can be fun!].Lists
An important part of wikis is the good old list. You can have both ordered (1, 2, 3, etc) and unordered (bullet pointed) lists. To create an unorded list simply use * at the start of a line such as the example below.*Item 1
*Item 2
*Item 3
- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3
#Item 1
#Item 2
#Item 3
- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3
Redirects
You can redirect one page to another by doing...#REDIRECT [[Page name]]
