User blog:Algamicagrat/My Guide to Wiki Markup.

Lots of people who just joined this wiki probably have never ever seen another Wikia wiki before. Or anyother wiki. Which means they are not very learned in Wikimarkup. This means that they will most likely not know what to do. However once you learn wikimarkup it will probably the easisest coding language you will ever see.

So what the heck is wikimarkup?
Wikimarkup is a code which powers wiki's (like this one). Wikimarkup (in my opinion) is the easiest coding launguage you will learn. The style of liinking and creating tables is soooo much different than what you would see in HTML, or Perl. And atleast you won't need so many textbooks to teach you wikimarkup. You just need me to teach you.

Bolds and Italics
Text formating is one thing that you can do in Microsoft Office with a click of a button. But here in wikimarkup you will need a brain to format text. In fact formatting text isn't that hard at all.

First lets stat with making words italic. So you will type: I am Text You will get this:

I am Text

Lets try another one. Bold. Bold is basically the same as italic. Type this: I am Text You will get this:

I am Text

And if you really want to you can make Bold and Italics together.So type this:

I am Text

And you will get this:

I am Text

Now you should have noticed that in bold you need Three apostrophies and in italics you need two apostrophies. And in Italic/bold you need five apostropies.

Underlines and Sub and Super scripts and Drop capitals
Underlines are very very easy. You need to type: I am Text

You will get:

I am Text

Sub scripts are pretty easy along with super scripts. For super script write:

I amSuper text!

You will get:

I amSuper text!

And for sub text you just need to write:

I am Sub Text

You will get:

I am Sub Text

Drop caps is a great tool to use.

oah, my buddy W is a cool letter.

And you will get:

oah, my buddy W is a cool letter.

Text Color
Text color makes text look more flashy and makes it stand out more.

For colored text type:

This is red text

You will get:

This is red text

To add a back ground to the text write:

This is red text with a black background

And you will get:

This is red text with a black background

Hyperlinks. Internal and external
Hyperlinks can be made by anybody in a milisecond. It is way to simple. To make a hyperlink type this: Page name It will come out as:

Page name

Due to the fact that the page: Page name does not exist it will come out as a blue hyperlink. You can change the text that appears on a hyperlink like this:

Algamicagrat

And it was come out as:

Algamicagrat

External hyperlinks are the same thing except you use one [ instead of two [[ in the front and end. You can change how an external hyperlink appears just as you change how internal hyperlinks appear.

Making Lists
A list is very simple. For a bullet list type:

*Item One *Item Two **Sub Item

It will come out as:


 * Item One
 * Item Two
 * Sub Item

And for a number list do exactly the same thing except instead of a * use #.

Headers
There are 3 types of headers.

And the puny one. Header four
For header two write this.

==Big Header. Or Header two==

For header 3 write this:

===Medium Header. Or header three===

And for header 4 write this:

====And the puny one. Header four====

Images
Images are simple. Simple write:



But if you don't like the thumbletains part just simple type:



NOTE:The 000 part must be turned into a number atleast 100.

Tables
To make a table type:

It'll come out as:

Templates
Templates make your work a whole lost easier. For example when you roleplay here you use the template. You just need to edit the template and then you can start roleplaying. See the starting up guide for more details on roleplaying.
