• A Table of Contents will automatically be added to an article that has four or more sections.
• Typing __NOTOC__ anywhere in the article will force the TOC not to appear.
• You can keep a header out of the Table of Contents by using the <h> tags instead of equal signs.
  • Eg. <h2> Header 2 </h2> instead of == Header 2 ==

Italic

Bold

Bold italic

''Italic'' (2 apostrophes)

'''Bold''' (3 apostrophes)

'''''Bold italic''''' (5 apostrophes)

• Use the apostrophe key, not the quotes key.

A single newline (hitting the return/enter key once) generally has no effect on the layout.

But an empty line (hitting the return/enter key twice) starts a new paragraph.

• When used in a list, a newline does affect the layout (see below).

You can break lines
without starting a new paragraph.

You can break lines<br/>without starting a new paragraph.

• Please use this technique sparingly.

Sometimes it is useful to indent an entire paragraph.

A colon at the beginning of the first line will indent the remaining paragraph.

Sometimes it is useful to indent an entire paragraph.
:A colon at the beginning of the first line will indent the remaining paragraph.

• More colons = more indention.
• This will work only with the colon at the beginning of a new line. Otherwise it will show up a regular colon.
• A new line (single return) will start a new paragraph when using this technique.

You can also seperate blocks of text:

It is easy using the blockquote html tag, which indents both margins instead of the left margin only as the colon does.

<blockquote>It is easy using the '''blockquote''' html tag, which indents both margins instead of the left margin only as the colon does.</blockquote>

• The colon method is generally preferred, but this technique works well when the right needs to be indented as well.

If a line starts with one
 or more spaces then
   it will be formatted exactly
     as typed;
  lines will not    wrap;

If a line starts with one
 or more spaces then
   it will be formatted exactly
     as typed;
  lines will not    wrap;

• WARNING: If you make a line too long, it will force the whole page to be wide. Never start ordinary lines with spaces.
• This technique is good for things like poetry.
• More spaces = more indention

• Lists are easy to do:
  • Start every line with an asterisk.
    • More asterisks means deeper levels.

A newline in a list marks the end of a list item.

• An empty line starts a new list.

* Lists are easy to do:
** Start every line with an asterisk.
*** More asterisks means deeper levels.
A newline in a list marks the end of a list item.

* An empty line starts a new list.

• This is used under the References and External links sections.

1. Numbered lists are easy to do:
   
2. Start every line with a number sign.
   
   1. More number signs means
      
3. deeper levels.
   

A newline in a list marks the end of a numbered list.

1. An empty line starts a new list.

• You can even do mixed lists
  1. and nest them
     • like this

   • a numbered list

• This only works when the dashes are drawn on their own space. Within text, they will render as dashes.

It is possible to suppress the expression of code. For example, if you want to show code formatting. So, '''bold''' would show up as '''bold''' and not bold.

So, <nowiki>'''bold'''</nowiki> would show up as <nowiki>'''bold'''</nowiki> and not '''bold'''.

• A link to another Thelemapedia article.
• Internally, the first letter of the target page is automatically capitalized and spaces are represented as underscores.
• Spelling and capitalization must be exact (except for the first letter)

• Same target, different name.
• This is called a "piped link".
• The "piped" text must be placed first, the text that will be displayed, second.

If red, it is a link to a page that doesn't yet exist.

If red, [[it is a link]] to a page that doesn't yet exist.

You can blend endings onto links: "There are many types of sigils"

There are many types of [[sigil]]s

Alchemy#Overview is a link to a section within another page.

#Other formatting is a link to a section on the current page.

#example is a link to an anchor that was created using an "id" attribute.

Automatically hide stuff in parentheses: The Fool.

Automatically hide namespace: Really Simple Tutorial.

But not: [[Thelemapedia:Really Simple Tutorial (the basics)#Editing a page|]]

[[The Fool (tarot)|]].

[[Thelemapedia:Really Simple Tutorial|]].

Three ways to link to external (non-wiki) sources:

1. Bare URL:
   http://www.nupedia.com/ (bad style)
2. Unnamed link:
   [1] (http://www.nupedia.com/) (very bad style, unless used as a reference citation)
3. Named link:
   Nupedia (http://www.nupedia.com) (ideal)

http://www.nupedia.com/

[http://www.nupedia.com/]

[http://www.nupedia.com Nupedia]

It's also easy to link to an email address:

bare address:
mailto:bob@anywhere.com

named email address:
email me (mailto:bob@anywhere.com)

[mailto:bob@anywhere.com email me]

Here is some text to show how it relates to the image.

[[Image:mushroom.jpg]]

• This image will have no formatting at all

[[Image:Mushroom.jpg|right]]

• This image will float to the right, and text will wrap around the left of it

[[Image:Mushroom.jpg|left]]

• This image will float to the left, and text will wrap around the right of it

[[Image:Mushroom.jpg|mushroom]]

• Gives the image alternative text
• Any text placed at the end of a string of image commands will be alternative text (except with the "frame" tag...see below).

[[Image:Mushroom.jpg|frame|Mushroom]]

• Adding a captions automatically floats the image to the right
• Notice that you can have multiple pipes for more options. Eg. you could add |left| to the code to have it float to the left.
• You can use wiki links with caption text
• Description and caption text always goes at the end

Here is some text to show [[Image:Mushroom.jpg|none]] how it relates to the image.

• Text breaks to the top and bottom of the image
• NOTE: if you want text that comes after an image to break under it, then put in the following code just after the image:
  <br style="clear:both" />

[[Image:Mushroom.jpg|50px|center]]

• Can resize to any limit, but quickly starts to lose visual quality the futher from 100% you go
• It is best to upload the image with the size that is needed to be displayed in the article
• Added the center just to show that position is also available

[[Image:Mushroom.jpg|thumb|85px|'shroom]]

• This creates the little image in the caption box that shows that a larger version is available
