Basic Wiki for LoveToKnow Formatting

Here are the basic Wiki markup tools for formatting articles:

You create headers and sections by using equal signs. The fewer equal signs you use, the larger your header will be. Here are three examples:

1) ==Wedding Dresses==

appears as

(Note the line that is created beneath the heading when only 2 equal signs are used.)

2) ===Atkins Diet===

appears as

3) ====Movie Posters====

appears as

Numbered lists are created by using the number sign ( # ). Here's an example of how the formatting should look, followed by how the page appears to site visitors once it has been formatted in this way.

# This is the first item in the list.
# This is the second item in the list.
# This is the third item in the list.
# Etc.

appears as...

1. This is the first item in the list.
2. This is the second item in the list.
3. This is the third item in the list.
4. Etc.

Note that there is only one return at the end of each item. If you put a space two returns between items, the numbering starts all over again from 1. Like this:

# This is the first item in the list.
# This is the second item in the list.

# This is the third item in the list.
# Etc.

appears as...

1. This is the first item in the list.
2. This is the second item in the list.

1. This is the third item in the list.
2. Etc.

You can use Wiki to create links to other articles on a LoveToKnow site, or you can create links to external sites.

Internal links are created with double brackets. Here is a formatting example:

[[Baby Gift Baskets]]

appears as a link to the article...

Baby Gift Baskets

Using the double brackets is also how you create a new page. Through the "edit" function, simply put the title of your article between the double brackets on the old page where you want the link to your new page to appear. Once you save this, the link to the new article will appear in red ink on the old page. Click on this link to begin writing your new article. When you save the article, the link will turn blue.

External links are created with single brackets, as well as with the URL and the name of the site to which you want to link:

[http://www.ebparks.org/ East Bay Regional Park District]

appears as...

East Bay Regional Park District

Note that you must put a space between the end of the URL and the beginning of the site name.
