[#general] ==== General information =

Entering text on a wiki can be done simply. Follow these guidelines:

This can be useful for breaking up long sections of text in line-sensitive sections (like lists or indented text). (see this sentence for  example)
 * When editing a page remember: the 'Preview' button is your friend.
 * You will find that Pressing the Enter key (a.k.a. Carriage returns) will not show up on a wiki page unless you start a new paragraph. (They are still significant to use when editing a page)
 * Multiple spaces and tabs are ignored
 * Use tags like  for bold' and ' for italics''
 * typing: (4 hyphens in a arow) makes a horizontal line
 * typing: will not format/compile any text between these tags
 * If you don't understand how something works..use the source (look how it's done through the edit page function)
 * A line which ends in a backslash character will be joined with the next line before most formatting rules are applied.
 * The first character entered on a line often controls the formatting of the text on that line (see below)

[#monospace] ==== Monospace =

A single " " (or 1 white space) character at the beginning of a sentence causes text to appear in a monospaced font where spaces are significant This is monospaced text You can also use    tag for monospace text

This is also monospaced using the above tag

[#pre]

Preformatted Text
Individual lines can be displayed as preformatted (fixed-width or "typewriter"-font) text by placing one or more spaces at the start of the line. Other wiki formatting (like links) will be applied to this kind of preformatted text.

Alternatively, multi-line sections can be marked as pre-formatted text with all other formatting suppressed by surrounding the text section with lines starting with (to start pre-formatted text), and (to end preformatted text). The and tags are not displayed. Wiki links and other formatting is not done within a formatted section. (If you want wiki formatting, use spaces at the start of the line instead of the and tags.)

For instance:

Pre-formatted section here. No other link or format processing is done on pre-formatted sections. For instance, UseModWiki is not a link here, and this is not bold.

and: This is the starting-spaces version of  preformatted text. Note that links like UseModWiki still work and bolding works.

[#indentation] ==== Indentation =

A single ":" (colon) character at the beginning of a sentence - causes text to be indented. Simple indented text:
 * Paragraph to be indented (quote-block)
 * Paragraph indented more
 * Paragraph indented to third level

...which looks like:
 * Paragraph to be indented (quote-block)
 * Paragraph indented more
 * Paragraph indented to third level

[#bulleted] ==== Bulleted lists =

A single "*" (asterisk) character at the beginning of a sentence - creates a bulleted list.
 * Text for a bulleted list item.
 * Text for another bulleted list item.
 * Text for a third bulleted list item.
 * Text for second-level list.
 * Text for third level, etc.

...which looks like:
 * Text for a bulleted list item.
 * Text for another bulleted list item.
 * Text for a third bulleted list item.
 * Text for second-level list.
 * Text for third level, etc.

[#numbered] ==== Numbered lists =

A single "#" (hash) character at the beginning of a sentence - creates a numbered list.
 * 1) Text for a numbered list item.
 * 2) Text for another numbered list item.
 * 3) Text for a third numbered list item.
 * 4) Text for second-level list.
 * 5) Text for third level, etc.

...which looks like:
 * 1) Text for a numbered list item.
 * 2) Text for another numbered list item.
 * 3) Text for a third numbered list item.
 * 4) Text for second-level list.
 * 5) Text for third level, etc.

[#definition] ==== Definition lists =

A single ";" (semicolon) character at the beginning of a sentence - creates a definition list. A ":" colon is required subsequently on the same line. Terms with indented definitions: [without a blank line between term and definition]
 * Term One:Definition for One (indented)
 * Term Two:Definition for Two (indented)
 * Term Three:Definition for Three (indented)
 * Term (indented):Definition (indented two levels)
 * Term (indented twice):Definition (indented to third level)

...which looks like:
 * Term One:Definition for One (indented)
 * Term Two:Definition for Two (indented)
 * Term Three:Definition for Three (indented)
 * Term (indented):Definition (indented two levels)
 * Term (indented twice):Definition (indented to third level)

[#links] ==== Links =

An Inline link is a page within the wiki you are using Several ways to Inline link shown here

3 quick ways:


 * http://wiki.s23.org/wiki.pl?SandBox
 * CamelCase (SandBox)
 * FreeLinks  (typing: fnord produces: fnord)

[#interwiki] ==== InterWiki Links =

Link to other wikis or services: Explanation of InterWiki links

[#nonwiki] ==== Non-Wiki Links =

[#anchor] ==== Targeted Links =
 * Type: [] To make a Non Wiki link but a refference: []
 * Type: Slashdot To make Non Wiki links with a description Slashdot or /.

To place a link anchor in a page use [#anchor]" [#anchor] " (without the double quotes) which can be referred to with any of the linking methods:


 * Wiki link: TextFormattingRules#anchor
 * URL link: http://wiki.s23.org/wiki.pl?TextFormattingRules#anchor
 * Bracketed link: #anchor

[#images] ==== Images =

http://seti23.org/image/23mid.gif

The above was produced by simply typing http://seti23.org/image/23mid.gif into the wiki. Just provide the URL, and the image will be inserted inline.

These extensions are recognized: gif, jpg, png, bmp, jpeg (If you have a choice, results are usually best with png for computer generated images, and JPEG for photographic images.)

[#headings] ==== Headings =

Start a sentence with:

"=" (equals) + a space + any word + an additional space + a trailing "="

Like the following examples: = Heading One =

== Heading Two =

=== Heading Three = ==== Heading Four =

=
Heading Five =

=
Heading Six = produces:

= Heading One =

== Heading Two =

==== Heading Three =

==== Heading Four =

=
Heading Five =

=
Heading Six =

[#table] ==== Tables =

"|" 2 vertical bars create a table

Typing: ||This||is||in||a||Box||

Results:

(Make sure you make the box on a seperate line for it to work)
 * This||is||in||a||Box||

[#isbn]

ISBN links
Just write the ISBN Number, like this: ISBN 0-471-25311-1

Result: ISBN 0-471-25311-1

[#redirect] ==== Page Redirect = This solution allows multiple names to share the same page. To use the PageRedirect command, simply type: ...at the beginning of the page. (The command must start at the first character of the first line of the page. REDIRECT must be in FULL CAPS.)
 * 1) REDIRECT NewPageName

When the page containing the command is viewed, the NewPageName will be viewed instead. Redirections are not recursive--only the first redirection will be used. see UseMod:PageRedirect about editing a redirected page example: Free Links & SoulSeek
