Editing Wiki/Text

== Text Formatting ==
This page provides both the rules for text formatting and succinct examples. See elsewhere for the rules on lists, linking, etc.

''Features marked with *** require the <nowiki>HtmlTags</nowiki> option to be activated.''
=== Paragraphs ===
Leave a blank line between paragraphs.

Like this<pre>
Leave a blank line between paragraphs.

Like this
</pre>

=== Emphasis ===
You create '''bold''' and ''italic'' text by using a repeated "'" single quote character before and after the text to be emphasised.
Use two quotes for italic and three single quotes for bold.
eg<pre>
''italic'' '''bold''' '''''bold & italic'''''
</pre>
''italic'' '''bold''' '''''bold & italic'''''

Alternatively use html tags
eg<pre>
bold italic bold and italic underline <s>strikeout</s> superscript subscript <big>big</big> small
</pre>
bold italic bold and italic underline<s>strikeout</s>superscript*** subscript*** <big>big</big>*** small***

=== Monospace text ===
Create monospace text by using a " " space as the first character on a line,
eg<pre>
 This is text in a monospace font
</pre>
 This is text in a monospace font
Alternatively use the html tags
eg<pre>
<tt>typewriter</tt> <code>code</code>
</pre>
<tt>typewriter</tt> <code>code</code>
=== Indenting ===
Indent text by using a ":" colon as the first character on a line,
eg<pre>
:Text
::More text
:::Yet more text
</pre>
:Text
::More text
:::Yet more text

=== Line continuation ===
Continue a line of text by using a "\" backslash. This can be useful for breaking up long lines of text in line sensitive sections such as lists or indented text,
eg
 * This bullet\\
 point could have a long\\
 sentence that takes several lines.

* This bullet\
point could have a long\
sentence that takes several lines.

=== New line ===
Use <nowiki> </nowiki> to change the line eg
 First line<nowiki> </nowiki>
 Next line

=== Escaping ===
Use <nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></nowiki> to terminate [[Wiki/Word]]<nowiki>s</nowiki>
eg <pre>Wikiword<nowiki><nowiki>s</nowiki></nowiki></pre>

Also, this may be formatted as <nowiki>WikiWord""s</nowiki>.

Use <nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></nowiki> to disable wiki rules within a piece of text, eg:
 <nowiki><nowiki>WikiNames are not linked, '''formatting''' does not occur.</nowiki><nowiki><</nowiki>/nowiki>
<nowiki>WikiNames are not linked, '''formatting''' does not occur.</nowiki>

=== Miscellaneous formatting ===
Use < pre> </ pre> as an alternative method of preserving layout of text, for example for code, eg
<pre>< pre> preserves spacing and
lines</ pre></pre>
<pre> preserves spacing and
lines</pre>
