Here's a brief guide to wiki formatting. Let me know if I missed any tags. Note that spaces are important.

For a single line break, end the line with the <br> tag.
For multiple line breaks, simply type out as many as you wish in the edit box.

=Large Section Title=
==Small Section Title==

You can also add more equal signs to decrease the size for minor titles. With five equal signs, it becomes the same as normal-size bold text. Six equal signs is the maximum. Anything in a title is separated by a line break before and after.

''Italic Text''
'''Bold Text'''
'''''Italic Bold Text'''''
<nowiki>Unformatted Text. I used this to show the tags on this page.</nowiki>

To quickly add any of the above tags, highlight it and press the button above the editing box.

<tt>Typewriter Font</tt>
<small>Small Text</small>
<strike>Striked-Out Text</strike>
<u>Underlined Text</u>
Normal<sub>Subscript</sub>
Normal<sup>Superscript 1</sup>
Normal&supSuperscript 2; (Note that this method doesn't always work)
<pre>Unformatted Text that keeps line breaks and Typewriter Font</pre><nowiki> <nowiki>*Bulleted List
#Numbered List
#Numbered List

You can add indents to bulleted lists or numbered lists by adding further asterisks or number signs to the beginning.

; Term : Definition Use a colon at the beginning of a line to indent it.
Use a space at the beginning of a line to format it as fixed-width font with no word wrap.
<center>Centered Text</center>

To link to another page on the site, put the page's name in double brackets: [[Page_Name]]
To link to another page on the site and have the link appear as something else, use the following format: [[Page_Name|Title]]
To link to a webpage, use the following format: [http://url Page name]
To link to an email address, use the following format: [mailto:email_address@domain.whichever Name] To link to a picture, use the following format: [media:media.whichever|Name]

To put in a horizontal line: ----
To leave a signature: ~~~
To leave a signature and time: ~~~~
