Sections

You start section headers with the the equal (=) character. The more equals signs the deeper the section nesting. So === is one level deeper than ==.

== Section A ==
=== Section A subsection 1 ==

Lists

Unordered lists are done using the * character. Each additional * creates a new level.

  • This is one star
    • This is two stars
* This is one star
** This is two stars

Numbered Lists

Numbered lists are similar to unordered lists but the # sign is used instead.

  1. Level 1
  2. Level 2
    1. Level 2.1
# Level 1
# Level 2
## Level 2.1

Breaks

You can also insert breaks into lists or lines by using <br>

  • Here is a list with a
    • break.
* Here is a list with a<br>
** break;

And here is another example of a sentence
with a break.

And here is another example of a sentence<br>
with a break.

Unformatted text

To do unformatted text, like the samples above, start the line with one or more blank spaces.

Links

You can link to another page within the site using two sets of brackets [ ] around what you want to link.

So to link to the Main_Page you would have:

[[Main_Page]]

You can also include text in the link by separating the URL and link text with a pipe character | the URL, something like. Go to the Main Page

[[Main_Page|Go to the Main Page]]

The syntax is: [[ target | label ]]

This works for links to external sites as well.
