Tables

Making tables in wiki markup is easy- click here to learn how.

Character Formatting

If the toolbar options for formatting individual characters or words are not available, it is useful to know the Markup used to create it. For emphasis, words can be displayed as italics by placing two single quote marks around the text. ' ' Text ' ' would be displayed as Text. To make a statement stand out in a strong way, in bold, the convention is to place three single quote marks around the text. ' ' ' important ' ' ' would be displayed as important. In order to convey very strong text, five single quote marks would be placed around the text. ' ' ' ' ' extremely ' ' ' ' ' important would be displayed as extremely important.

Lists

Ordered Lists - use #

Unordered Lists - use *

Contents Box

The 'Contents' Box is created automatically when you use headings. the smaller headings become subcatagories of the bigger one before it. so if you wanted to have a page that had your name as the main part then contents underneath it you would write: ==Angela Chow==

===About me==

===My Courses===

===Crazy facts===

and so on if you wanted sub catagories you would go:

==Angela Chow==

===About me===

===My Courses===

====Computer Science====

====Other Cool Subjects====

===Crazy facts===

you write your content inbetween these so in the end you have:

==Angela Chow==

===About me===

blah blah blah and so on.

===My Courses===

====Computer Science====

I am taking Compsci 111 this semester because blah blah blah.

====Other Cool Subjects====

blah blah blah

===Crazy facts===

blah blah blah
