This is a wiki. This means, depending on your priviledges, you can edit articles. You can use a special syntax to format text, include links and so on. Here are guidelines and explanations.

Format text

Headings

To make headings:

This markup produces
= Header =

Header

== Sub-Header ==

Sub-Header

=== Sub-sub-Header ===

Sub-sub-Header

Font Face

To make bold or italic font:

This markup produces
This is ''italic'' and this is '''bold'''. This is italic and this is bold.

Code

To make clear text is meant as code or computer in/output just prepend a space at the beginning of the line:

<- here is a space at the beginning of the line.

Links

To link to another article in this wiki:

This markup produces
Have a look at our [[application]] section. Have a look at our applications section.

To link to another namespace, e.g. a category:

This markup produces
Have a look at our [[:Category:Guides]] section. Have a look at our Category:Guides section.

Bullets and Numbering

For bullets you use asterisks:

This markup produces
* this is an item
** this is a sub-item
* this is again a top-level item
  • this is an item
    • this is a sub-item
  • this is again a top-level item

For numbers you use hashes:

This markup produces
# this is an item
## this is a sub-item
## this is the second sub-item
# this is again a top-level item
  1. this is an item
    1. this is a sub-item
    2. this is the second sub-item
  2. this is again a top-level item

Line feeds

You can enter a line feed into your article by adding two line feeds to your markup text.

Tables

Make a sortable table. This input:

{| class="wikitable sortable" border=1
! col1 !! col2 !! col3
|-
| field1 || field2 || field3
|-
| ZZZ    || AAA    || MMM
|-
|}

Produces:

col1 col2 col3
field1 field2 field3
ZZZ AAA MMM
