Start your sections with header lines:

Subsection

Sub-subsection

== New section ==

=== Subsection ===

==== Sub-subsection ====

Newline:

A single newline has no effect on the layout.

But an empty line starts a new paragraph.

(<p> disables this paragraphing until </p> or the end of the section)

A single
newline
has no

layout.

But an empty line
starts a new paragraph.

without starting a new paragraph.

You can break lines<br>
without starting a new paragraph.

• Lists are easy to do:
  • start every line with a star
    • more stars means deeper levels
• A newline
• in a list

marks the end of the list.

• Of course
• you can
• start again.

** start every line with a star

1. Numbered lists are also good
   1. very organized
   2. easy to follow
2. A newline
3. in a list

marks the end of the list.

1. New numbering starts
2. with 1.

• You can even create mixed lists
  1. and nest them
     • like this

       can I mix definition list as well?

       yes

       how?

       it's easy as

       • a
       • b
       • c

• You can also
  • break lines
    inside lists
    like this

* You can also
**break lines<br>inside lists<br>like this

Definition list 

list of definitions

the item's definition

A colon indents a line or paragraph.

A manual newline starts a new paragraph.

This is primarily for displayed material, but is also used for discussion on Talk pages.

IF a line of plain text starts with a space THEN
  it will be formatted exactly
    as typed;
  in a fixed-width font;
  lines won't wrap;
ENDIF
this is useful for:
  * pasting preformatted text;
  * algorithm descriptions;
  * program source code
  * ASCII art;
  * chemical structures;

WARNING If you make it wide, you force the whole page to be wide and hence less readable. Never start ordinary lines with spaces.

The first letter of target is automatically capitalized. So typing [[KotOR Online]] is the same as typing [[KotOR Online]]. Internally spaces are automatically represented as underscores (typing an underscore has the same effect as typing a space, but is not recommended). Thus the link above is to http://fe.mmolab.com/KotOR Online, which is the page with the name "KotOR Online".

Link to a section on a page, e.g.

• Official#Relationships
• #Links, URLs
• #example

When section editing does not work the link is treated as link to the page, i.e. to the top; this applies for:

• links to non-existent sections
• links in redirects
• interwiki links

Section linking:

• The part after the number sign (#) must match a section heading on the page. Matches must be exact in terms of spelling, case, and punctuation. Links to non-existent sections are not broken; they are treated as links to the top of the page.
• Identifiers may be created by attaching an id="..." attribute to almost any HTML element. This doesn't work with legacy browsers

[[Travel_Guide#Alliance]] is a link to a section in another article.
[[#Links, URLs]] is a link to a section on the current page.
[[#example]] is a link to an
anchor that was created using
<div id="example">an id attribute
</div>

This is called a piped link.

Same target, different text:
[[KotoroWiki:Policy/Naming|the naming policy page]]

Endings are blended
into the link: [[potion]]s, [[pwn]]ed

Automatically hide stuff in parentheses: Rifle.

Automatically hide namespace: Village pump.

The server automatically fills in the part after the | when you save the page. Next time you open the edit box you will see the expanded piped link. A preview interprets the abbreviated form correctly but does not expand it yet in the source. Press Save and again Edit and you will see the expanded version. The same applies for the following feature.

Automatically hide stuff in parentheses:
[[Druid (lore)|]]. 

Automatically hide namespace:
[[KotoroWiki:Village pump|]].

This only works if the wiki has been registered with the KotOR Online Wiki server, so not all wikis produce inter-wiki links.

Link to a different [[Wikipedia:Wiki|]]

you should sign it. You can do this by adding three tildes for your user name:

Erazor

or four for user name plus date/time:

Erazor 08:10 Oct 5, 2002 (UTC)

You can also simply place the date/time manually using five tildes if you have a custom signature.

When adding a comment to a Talk page,
you should sign it. You can do this by
adding three tildes for your user name:
: ~~~
or four for user name plus date/time:
: ~~~~
You can also simply place the date/time manually if you have a custom signature.
: {{User:Erazor/Signature}} ~~~~~

• You can create it by clicking on the link.
• To create a new page:
  1. Create a link to it on some other page.
  2. Save or preview that page.
  3. Click on the link you just made. The new page will open for editing.
• Have a look at how to start a page guide and the naming conventions page for your project.

[[DELETE THIS PAGE IF IT EXISTS|This page doesn't exist]] is a page

Redirect one article title to another by putting text like this in its first line.

The redirect line should be the only line in the article for a redirect to work.

Special:Whatlinkshere/KotoroWiki:How to edit a page and Special:Recentchangeslinked/KotoroWiki:How to edit a page

Most special pages work in this format: The name of the special page followed by the specific page. For example, contributions links are Special:Contributions/Username.

External links:
[http://www.wikipedia.com Wikipedia],
[http://www.wikipedia.com]

In the URL all symbols must be among: A-Z a-z 0-9 ._\/~%-+&#?!=()@ \x80-\xFF. If a URL contains a different character it should be converted; for example, ^ has to be written %5E (to be looked up in ASCII). A blank space can also be converted into an underscore.

Or just give the URL:
http://www.wikipedia.com.

To include links to non-image uploads such as sounds, use a "media" link.

A picture: [[Image:logo_kotor.gif]]

A picture with alternate text: 
[[Image:logo_kotor.gif| Image with alternate text]]

• Alternative text, used when a mouse hovers over the image or when the image is not loaded in a text-only browser, or when spoken aloud, is strongly encouraged.

A picture with a caption set to the right:
[[Image:logo_kotor.gif|frame|Image with alternate text]]

Clicking on an uploaded image displays a description page, which you can also link directly to: Image:logo_kotor.gif

[[:Image:logo_kotor.gif]]

To include links to images shown as links instead of drawn on the page, use a "media" link.

Emphasize, strongly, very strongly.

These are double and triple apostrophes, not double quotes.

''Emphasize'', '''strongly''',
'''''very strongly'''''.

You can also write italic and bold if the desired effect is a specific font style rather than emphasis, as in mathematical formulae:

F = ma

However, the difference between these two methods is not very important for graphical browsers, and many people choose to ignore it.

You can also write <i>italic</i>
and <b>bold</b> if the desired effect is a 
specific font style rather than emphasis, as 
in mathematical formulas:
:<b>F</b> = <i>m</i><b>a</b>

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

You can use <small>small text</small>

and underline new material.

You can <strike>strike out deleted material</strike>
and <u>underline new material</u>.

• The latter method of superscript can't be used in the most general context, but is preferred when possible (as with units of measurement) because most browsers have an easier time formatting lines with it.
