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: W1 B2 W3
  • 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: [ext] 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. have a look at HowDiagramsWork.

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