This page shows examples of some common wiki markup. Also see for more in-depth help and better explanations.
First thing you'll notice is that the editing box has a menu bar. This'll hold most of the markup you'll ever need. But here are some examples of how to type this in manually.
Contents |
[edit] Text Decoration
''Italic text'' will give you Italic text
while '''Bold text''' gives you Bold text
no, '''''scientastic''''' will not give you scientastic text, but bolded italic text, so that's close enough.
[edit] Linking
[edit] Internal links
Links that link to another page in this wiki. [[Dean Venture]] will look like Dean Venture and link to his page.
You can also make the linking text different than the target page like so:
[[Dean Venture | The Handsome Brother]] will also link to the The Handsome Brother's page.
[edit] External links
Links to webpages not part of the wiki are just as easy.
How to link to an external website:
[http://www.venturebroswiki.com/]
will give you a numbered link like so [1].
Need something descriptive instead of a numbered reference?
[http://forums.venturefans.org/ PRoV Forums] will link to the PRoV Forums
[edit] Images
For the picture to show you'll have to upload it to the wiki first.
Once that is done just This is how you can put a picture [[Image:missing.png]]. 
you can even easily resize it to whatever size fits best on the page
[[Image:missing.png | 120px]]
[[Image:missing.png | 50px]]
[edit] Signatures
If you want to sign your work (usually used on discussion pages)
--~~~~ will put your name and a time-stamp --Nais 19:26, 24 April 2006 (PDT)
--~~~ will just put your name --Nais
[edit] Page headers
Many times you'll want to have a title for a section of the page. This'll also automatically create a table of contents for the page, just like this page has. Usually you'll want to start with the 2nd level Header.
[edit] Level 1
=Header 1=
[edit] Level 2
==Header 2==
[edit] Level 3
===Header 3===
You can keep going down to smaller and smaller levels just by adding another =
[edit] Horizontal Rule
You can also break up sections with a horizontal line by typing ----
The End
