without starting a new paragraph.

• Lists are good:
  • they organize material
  • they look clean

* Lists are good:
** they organize material
** they look clean

1. Numbered lists are also good:
   1. very organized
   2. easy to follow

Definition lists

lists with definitions

Item to be defined

the item's definition

; Definition lists : lists with definitions
; Item to be defined : the item's definition

• Mixing list types is straightforward:
  1. First subitem
  2. Second subitem

* Mixing list types is straightforward:
*# First subitem
*# Second subitem

Another mixed-type list

A definition with subitems

• First subitem
• Second subitem

; Another mixed-type  list: A definition with subitems

 IF (a line starts with whitespace) THEN
   it will be displayed as typed;
   in a technical looking font;
   lines won't wrap;
 ENDIF
 this is useful for:
   * algorithm descriptions;
   * ascii art;
 Keep in mind that formatting still works
 To display truly preformatted text,
 use the <pre>...</pre> tags.

  Log(Countdown $ "...");

You can use <uscript lines> to automatically add line numbers. Keep in mind that people might want to copy and paste your code from their web browser, and line numbers must be laboriously removed from the pasted text before it's in a usable form. If you feel it's absolutely necessary to include line numbers in your example, make a 2-column table with the line numbers in the left coulumn and the code in the right.

Links, URLs, Images

Link to the Project FAQ.

First letter of target is automatically capitalized. Spaces are converted into underscores. To create a new page: start with a link to it, then click on ?.

Check out the Guidelines On Page Creation, that's where naming conventions currently live.)

Same target, different name: answers.

Targets can only contain letters and spaces!

[The weather in London]? is a page that doesn't exist yet.

You can start it by clicking on the question mark. After creating a page, search for its title and make sure that everyone correctly links to it.

Or just give the URL: http://www.wikipedia.com.
Email addresses: mychaeel@beyondunreal.com

Good idea since it makes a printout more useful. Links to .zip files get a fancy box around them and are best used in a paragraph of their own. Links to image files display the images inline.

Upload images with the [Image Uploader]. It'll give you details about how to insert an image in a Wiki page after you have uploaded the image. Block and floating images with captions are also possible.

Text

Character Formatting

''italic'', '''bold''', ''''bold and colored''''.
Use also in formulas: '''F''' = ''m'' '''a'''.

Smileys are displayed as images

Smileys :rolleyes: are displayed as images :-)

A typewriter font for <tt>technical terms</tt>.

Typewriter font, and no parsing: <code>[[link]] :-)</code>

To escape characters, i.e. interpret them as characters,
not formatting commands: <nowiki> < | === </nowiki>

You can <strike>strike out</strike> stuff
and <u>insert new stuff</u>

Special Characters

Two hyphens make a dash -- like this

Three (or more) hyphens --- make a longer dash

An arrow for menu commands: File -> Save

Sign your name: The sequence ~~~ will insert your user name. Use it at the start of a line to quickly create thread discussions, like this (this will also work with lines indented with the : character):

Tarquin: Good point, well made.

Use it at the end of a line to sign a comment like this:

Good point, well made. —Tarquin

~~~ Good point, well made.
Good point, well made. ~~~
