Common wiki Format Strings

Sections

Sections can be created by using an equal sign at the beginning and end of the line containing the section name. To create sub-sections, use two equal signs at the beginning and end of the line containing the subsection title. This can be repeated for as many sub-sections are required. This causes the table of contents for the article to be automatically generated.

List

Lists of items can be bulleted using an asterisk at the beginning of the line for each bulleted item.

• Example 1
• Example 2

Code

The <pre> and </pre> tags can be used to get a fixed width font with a border. This is best used to demonstrate code.

Example

Indentation

If a colon is inserted as the first character on a line, the line will be indented.
