This is a pink heading
It appears like this in wikitext: code

This is a pink heading
code The equals signs make the writing bigger. You need equals signs after you've finished. One either side makes a heading, two makes a larger heading and three either side makes the writing huge. The code after the colour is the code for that shade of pink. Each colour has its own unique code. There are charts on the net to see what the codes are. See the link below. When you do something to lettering like changing the colour or the size you need to have the span in brackets. "/" inside the bracket turns it off.

code code
 * Bold**, //Italics// and __underlining__ appear like this
 * Bold**, //Italics// and __underlining__

You can then combine the elements and have lots of things like: = **//Wow!!!//** = code = **//Wow!!!//** = code Make sure you include all those bits in the right order.

If you are typing in normal next (not heading) you can put the size inside the <> too, expresses as a percent of the original. eg code size code

Links
If you want to link to another page in the wiki, put the page name between double square brackets. Cedric goes to Cedric's page and looks like this: code Cedric code Link to another site type two square brackets, paste. the url and close the brackets. Don't forget the http:// eg [] It would look like this: code [] code And to have the link without seeing the address add the text after a |. [|Hex code chart] code [|Hex code chart] code

Images
To put in a picture: code From a website: From an image you have uploaded to the wiki Change the width or the height Put it to the left The same for right or centre but you have to spell centre the American way cent==er== And to put a caption: code So inserting this picture that I have already uploaded code code

Tables
To make tables just type double sets of "|" these lines. The key is above the enter button and you need to press shift. A table with three cells and two rows with hello in every box would look like this on the screen.


 * hello || hello || hello ||
 * hello || hello || hello ||

code code If you had large coloured words it would look like this:
 * hello || hello || hello ||
 * hello || hello || hello ||
 * hello || hello || hello ||
 * hello || hello || hello ||

code code See how you have to set up what each cell looks like separately - you can highlight and do it all at once - :(
 * hello || hello || hello ||
 * hello || hello || hello ||
