Text Formatting Rules - Introduction
Keywords: SL description
This is an introduction on how you can format text in pages. See Text Formatting Rules for a complete list.
- To edit any page click on the [Edit page] link to the left. You should do that right now, and read the source code of this page. It will make more sense.
- You can separate paragraphs with an extra blank line. Example:
I am a paragraph.
I am a paragraph too.
We're just very small paragraphs.
- You get italics by surrounding words with two single quotes on either side like this.
- You get bold text by using two underscores on either side.
- You get bullets by using an asterisk * in the first column
- To have plain monospaced font, indent with a space:
this is a poem
about monospacing
nothing rhymes with poem
nothing rhymes with monospacing
this is a poem
about monospacing
pass me the jeroboam
and carry on defacing
- By typing W1, B2, W3, etc., you get some nifty icons:
- You can get horizontal rules with four or more dashes like this:
- To create hyperlinks you just put the words between square brackets [ and ]. Let's say you want to create a page about how Arno likes cookies. Then do like this: [Arno likes cookies]. If the page does not exist yet a question mark appears after the link, inviting you to create the page: ThisPageShouldNotExist?. (And please don't ruin the example by creating one.)
- To link to pages outside the Wiki, you can just type in the URL and Wiki will link it for you:
http://gtl.jeudgo.org/
- Now you are ready to begin AddingPages.
- If you want to do something useful but don't feel qualified to add pages (which is a mistake) then you can become a linker in the link team.
In order to create diagrams for discussing positions, moves etc.

A WikiWikiWeb is meant to be fast and easy to edit.
It has very simple markup that you can read about in TextFormattingRules.
