112.203.62.148: /* Templates */

This is a wiki. You can edit the articles. Just make sure to use the special syntax to properly format text, include links and so on.

== Format text ==

=== Headings ===

To make headings:
{| class="wikitable"
! This markup !! produces
|-
| <nowiki>== Header ==</nowiki> ||
== Header ==
|-
| <nowiki>=== Sub-Header ===</nowiki> ||
=== Sub-Header ===
|-
| <nowiki>==== Sub-sub-Header ====</nowiki> ||
==== Sub-sub-Header ====
|}

== Font Face ==

To make bold or italic font:
{| class="wikitable"
! This markup !! produces
|-
| <nowiki>This is ''italic'' and this is '''bold'''.</nowiki> || This is ''italic'' and this is '''bold'''.
|-
|}

=== Lists ===

An asterisk "*" at the start of each line indicates an item in a bullet list:
* One item
* and another one

Create a numbered list by adding a hash sign "#" at the start of the line:

# First item
# Second item
# Third item

=== Code ===

To make clear text is meant as code or computer in/output use <nowiki><pre></nowiki> and <nowiki></pre></nowiki> tags to surround the text:

<nowiki><pre>this is preformatted text</pre></nowiki>

produces

<pre>this is preformatted text</pre>

Alternatively, just prepend a space at the beginning of the line:
<- here is a space at the beginning of the line.

For code that appears in the middle of a sentence, use <nowiki><code></nowiki> and <nowiki></code></nowiki> tags for formatting.

== Creating links ==

To link to another article in this wiki:
{| class="wikitable"
! This markup !! produces
|-
| <nowiki>Have a look at our [[new users]] section.</nowiki> || Have a look at our [[new users]] section.
|-
|}
To link to another namespace, e.g. a category:
{| class="wikitable"
! This markup !! produces
|-
| <nowiki>Have a look at our [[:Category:Users]] section.</nowiki> || Have a look at our [[:Category:Users]] section.
|-
|}

== Creating tables ==

Make a sortable table. This input:
<pre>
{| class="wikitable sortable" border=1
! col1 !! col2 !! col3
|-
| field1 || field2 || field3
|-
| ZZZ || AAA || MMM
|}
</pre>
Produces:
{| class="wikitable sortable" border=1
! col1 !! col2 !! col3
|-
| field1 || field2 || field3
|-
| ZZZ || AAA || MMM
|}

== Templates ==

Templates allow you to pre-define text and layout that can be included in other pages. Examples are notifications like "This site is a stub" or information boxes for applications that contain certain fields like "name" and "genre".
Include a template ''demo'' like this:
