Help:Wiki syntax

This website uses Wiki Markup, a simple markup language that is used to format pages on wiki websites. It was created to be a simple and readable method for users to format pages without knowing HTML. The syntax we are using is a simplified version of that used by Wikipedia. Wiki formatting is easy once you get the hang of it!

Headings

Headings define different sections. Three levels are available:

== Headings Define Sections ==
=== And Subsections ===
==== And Sub-subsections ====

Each heading is automatically used in a table of contents like the one at the top of this page. The following prints a T.O.C.:

[[toc]]
