| How do I do…? | Use the following code: |
| Headings & Sections | |
| Title | =Title= |
| Subtitle | ==Subtitle==(and so on...) |
| Sub-subtitle | ===Sub-subtitle=== |
| (Note: A table of contents will automatically generate if there are a number of different headings and subheadings on a page.) | |
| Inserting Links | |
| To an internal (GoodWiki) website | [[exact name of internal page]] |
| or | |
[http://internal.link Word(s) you want to use to refer to the link] | |
| Once saved, this will appear as Word(s) you want to use to refer to the link. | |
| To external (non-GoodWiki) website | http://external.link |
| This will appear as a linked website. Alternately, to "name" the link you’re creating, use: | |
[http://external.link Word(s) you want to use to refer to the link] | |
| Once saved, this will appear as Word(s) you want to use to refer to the link. | |
| Fonts & Stylistic Tools | |
| Bold | '''words to be bolded''' |
| Italic | ''words to be italicized'' |
| Bold and italic | '''''words to be in bold & italics''''' |
| Underline | <u>words to be underlined</u> |
| Superscript | <sup>words to be in superscript</sup> |
| Subscript | <sub>words to be in subscript</sub> |
| Small | <small>words to be small</small> |
| Big | <big>words to be big</big> |
| Centered text | <center>Centered text</center> |
| Structural Formatting | |
| Tab/Indentation | :word to be tabbed/indented |
| (Note: More colons indent the line even further to the right.) | |
| Bulleting | *words to be bulleted |
| (Note: Can be used following a colon for indented bulleted text.) | |
| Table | Refer to this page for building a table from scratch on the GoodWiki: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Table |
