Wiki markup

The wiki markup is the syntax system you can use to format a Biki page.

In the left column of the table below, you can see what effects are possible. In the right column, you can see how those effects were achieved. In other words, to make text look like it looks in the left column, type it in the format you see in the right column.

You may want to keep this page open in a separate browser window for reference, or take a screen-shot of it. If you want to try out things without danger of doing any harm, you can do so in the Sandbox. Try opening the Sandbox in a separate window or tab and keeping this page open for reference.

What it looks like	What you type
Start your sections as follows: New section Subsection Sub-subsection Start with a second-level heading (`==`); don't use first-level headings (=). Don't skip levels (for example, second-level followed by fourth-level). A table of contents will automatically be added to an article that has four or more sections. If appropriate, place subsections in an appropriate order. If listing countries, place them in alphabetical order rather than, say, relative to population of OECD countries, or some random order.	== New section == === Subsection === ==== Sub-subsection ==== ===== Sub-sub-subsection =====
A single newline generally has no effect on the layout. These can be used to separate sentences within a paragraph. Some editors find that this aids editing and improves the function diff (used internally to compare different versions of a page). But an empty line starts a new paragraph. When used in a list, a newline does affect the layout (see below).	A single newline generally has no effect on the layout. These can be used to separate sentences within a paragraph. Some editors find that this aids editing and improves the function ''diff'' (used internally to compare different versions of a page). But an empty line starts a new paragraph.
You can break lines without starting a new paragraph. Please use this sparingly. Close markup between lines; do not start a link or italics or bold on one line and close it on the next.	You can break lines<br/> without starting a new paragraph.
It's easy to create a list: Start every line with a star (asterisk). More stars means deeper levels. A newline in a list marks the end of a list item. An empty line starts a new list.	* It's easy to create a list: Start every line with a star. * More stars means deeper levels. **** A newline in a list marks the end of a list item. * An empty line starts a new list.
Numbered lists are also good very organized easy to follow easier still	# Numbered lists are also good ## very organized ## easy to follow ### easier still
You can even create mixed lists and nest them like this	* You can even create mixed lists # and nest them #* like this
Definition list list of definitions item the item's definition another item the other item's definition One item per line; a newline can appear before the colon, but using a space before the colon improves parsing.	; Definition list : list of definitions ; item : the item's definition ; another item : the other item's definition
A colon indents a line or paragraph. A manual newline starts a new paragraph. This is primarily for displayed material, but is also used for discussion on Talk pages.	: A colon indents a line or paragraph. A manual newline starts a new paragraph.
When there is a need for separating a block of text the blockquote command will indent both margins when needed instead of the left margin only as the colon does. This is useful for (as the name says) inserting blocks of quoted (and cited) text.	<blockquote> The '''blockquote''' command will indent both margins when needed instead of the left margin only as the colon does. </blockquote>
IF a line starts with a space THEN it will be formatted exactly as typed; in a fixed-width font; lines will not wrap; ENDIF This is useful for: pasting preformatted text; algorithm descriptions; program source code; ASCII art; chemical structures; WARNING: If you make it wide, you force the whole page to be wide and hence less readable, especially for people who use lower resolutions. Never start ordinary lines with spaces.	IF a line starts with a space THEN it will be formatted exactly as typed; in a fixed-width font; lines will not wrap; ENDIF
Centered text. Please note the American spelling of "center."	<center>Centered text.</center>
A horizontal dividing line: this is above it... ...and this is below it. Mainly useful for disambiguation - but to be used sparsely--only when separating completely different, unrelated (groups of) meanings separating threads on Talk pages.	A [[horizontal dividing line]]: this is above it ---- and this is below it.

[edit]

Links and URLs

What it looks like	What you type
Chemistry Chemistry:Summary Tables A link to another HSCwiki article. Internally, the first letter of the target page is automatically capitalized and spaces are represented as underscores (typing an underscore in the link has the same effect as typing a space, but is not recommended). Thus the link above is to the URL www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_transport, which is the HSCwiki article with the name "Public transport".	Chemistry [[Chemistry:Summary Tables]].
Chemistry Summary Tables Same target, different name. This is a piped link. The "piped" text must be placed first, the text that will be displayed, second.	Chemistry [[Chemistry:Summary Tables\|Summary Tables]]
San Francisco also has public transportation. Examples include buses, taxis, and streetcars. Endings are blended into the link. Preferred style is to use this instead of a piped link, if possible.	San Francisco also has [[public transport]]ation. Examples include [[bus]]es, [[taxi]]s, and [[streetcar]]s.
See the HSCwiki:Manual of Style. A link to another namespace.	See the [[HSCwiki:Manual of Style]].
Economics#See also is a link to a section within another page. #Links and URLs is a link to a section on the current page. #example is a link to an anchor that was created using an id attribute The part after the number sign (#) must match a section heading on the page. Matches must be exact in terms of spelling, case, and punctuation. Links to non-existent sections are not broken; they are treated as links to the top of the page. Identifiers may be created by attaching an `id="...">` attribute to almost any HTML element.	[[Economics#See also]] is a link to a section within another page. [[#Links and URLs]] is a link to a section on the current page. [[#example]] is a link to an anchor that was created using <div id="example">an id attribute</div>
Automatically hide stuff in parentheses: kingdom. Automatically hide namespace: Village Pump. Or both: Manual of Style But not: [[HSCwiki:Manual of Style#Links\|]] The server fills in the part after the pipe character (\|) when you save the page. The next time you open the edit box you will see the expanded piped link. When previewing your edits, you will not see the expanded form until you press Save and Edit again. The same applies to links to sections within the same page (see previous entry).	Automatically hide stuff in parentheses: [[kingdom (biology)\|]]. Automatically hide namespace: [[HSCwiki:Village Pump\|]]. Or both: [[HSCwiki:Manual of Style (headings)\|]] But not: [[HSCwiki:Manual of Style#Links\|]]
This year's HSC questions and answers is a page that does not exist yet. You can create it by clicking on the link (but please do not do so with this particular link). To create a new page: Create a link to it on some other (related) page. Save that page. Click on the link you just made. The new page will open for editing. For more information, see How to start a page and check out HSCwiki's naming conventions. Please do not create a new article without linking to it from at least one other article.	[[This year's HSC questions and answers]] is a page that does not exist yet.
HSCwiki:Help:Syntax is this page. Self links appear as bold text when the article is viewed. Do not use this technique to make the article name bold in the first paragraph.	[[HSCwiki:How to edit a page]] is this page.
When adding a comment to a Talk page, you should sign it by adding three tildes to add your user name: James King or four to add user name plus date/time: James King 00:18, Nov 19, 2004 (UTC) Five tildes gives the date/time alone: 00:18, Nov 19, 2004 (UTC) The first two both provide a link to your user page.	When adding a comment to a Talk page, you should sign it by adding three tildes to add your user name: : ~~~ or four for user name plus date/time: : ~~~~ Five tildes gives the date/time alone: : ~~~~~

To put an article in a HSCwiki:Category, place a link like the one to the right anywhere in the article. As with interlanguage links, it does not matter where you put these links while editing as they will always show up in the same place when you save the page, but placement at the end of the edit box is recommended.	[[Category:Character sets]]
To link to a HSCwiki:Category page without putting the article into the category, use an initial colon (:) in the link.	[[:Category:Character sets]]
Three ways to link to external (non-wiki) sources: Bare URL: http://www.nupedia.com/ (bad style) Unnamed link: [1] (only used within article body for footnotes) Named link: Nupedia See MetaWikiPedia:Interwiki_map for the list of shortcuts. Square brackets indicate an external link. Note the use of a space (not a pipe) to separate the URL from the link text in the "named" version. In the URL, all symbols must be among: A-Z a-z 0-9 . _ \ / ~ % - + & # ? ! = ( ) @ \x80-\xFF URLs must start with the protocol (eg. [http://www.nupedia.com], not [www.nupedia.com]) If a URL contains a character not in this list, it should be encoded by using a percent sign (%) followed by the hex code of the character, which can be found in the table of ASCII printable characters. For example, the caret character (^) would be encoded in a URL as %5E.

Linking to other wikis: Interwiki link: Wiktionary:Hello Named interwiki link: Hello Interwiki link without prefix: Hello All of these forms lead to the URL http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Hello Note that interwiki links use the internal link style. See MetaWikiPedia:Interwiki_map for the list of shortcuts; if the site you want to link to is not on the list, use an external link (see above).
