[[Internal links]]

- Examples: Main_Page and This goes to the Main Page.
[External Links]
Creates an external link (outside of the wiki).

''Double Apostrophes''
Italicises the text. Do not confuse this with double quotes ("").

Emboldens the text. Also ruins your apostrophe key if overdone - use sparingly.
- Example: BOOM!
----
A horizontal rule (<hr>). Use sparingly.

:Indentation
Indents text. Place colon as first character in line to be indented. Use in succession to make blocks of text.

*Basic Lists
Creates a bulletted list. The more asterisks you use, the lower the list level.
- Example:

- **Level two again
- **Another level two

- *Level one
#Numeric Lists
Creates a numeric list. As with bulletted lists, the more octothorpes one uses, the lower the list level.
- Example:
- #Level one
- ##Level two
- ###Level three
- ##Level two again
- ##Another level two
- ##Level two
- #Level one
