You can use the editing toolbar for most things, though you can format manually if you like.

• Headers
  
• Text Effects
  
• Links
  
• Images
  
• Lists & Code Boxes
  
• Footnotes
  
• Tables
  

For a general how-to, see How-To. For advanced syntax, see Advanced Syntax. You can always click “edit page” to check out how other pages work - just remember to hit cancel when you are finished. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at admin atsign recpit.net or contact me through the recpit forums.

====== Header 1 ====== (page titles)
===== Header 2 ===== (main sections)
==== Header 3 ==== (sub-sections)
=== Header 4 ===
== Header 5 ==

Use a level 1 header for the title of your page. Levels 1, 2, & 3 are displayed in a table of contents box if there are more than three. Including ~~NOTOC~~ in the document disables the table of contents.

**bold**
//italic//
__underlined__
''monospaced''
_subscript
^superscript
<del>strikethrough</del>

%%avoid formatting%%

Paragraphs are created automatically from blank lines, however you can force a newline using two back-slashes \\ . They must be followed by a space unless at the end of a line.

Four or more dashes ---- make a full-page horizontal dividing line like the one below:

External links are recognized automatically.

Internal Links: [[pagename]] or [[pagename|link text to display]]

Internal Links with Namespaces (folders, basically): [[namespace:pagename]]

Linking to Specific Sections: [[pagename#headername]]

To upload an image, click the “Add Images and other files” button (looks like ) in the editing toolbar. This brings up a window where you can select from all uploaded files. Since you want to upload your own, use the “Select Files…” button. Click Upload, then click Done. It should now appear in the list of files. Click on it to add it to the page. Close the window when you're done.

• You can create custom folders for your files (called “namespaces” in the wiki system). Add yourfolder: (note the colon) before the name of the selected image to upload it into that folder, like yourfolder:yourimage.jpg. It'll create the folder if it doesn't exist. You can see available folders in the left pane.

External image: {{http://website.com/image.jpg}}

Image resized to a width of 50 pixels: {{http://website.com/image.jpg?50}}

Add mouse-hover caption to image: {{http://website.com/image.jpg|This is the image caption}}

Image with embedding disabled: {{http://website.com/image.jpg?linkonly}}

Centered: {{ http://website.com/image.jpg }}

Left aligned: {{http://website.com/image.jpg }}

Right aligned: {{ http://website.com/image.jpg}}

For lists, indent by two or more spaces then use * for unnumbered and - for numbered.

• Item A
• Item B
  • Item B and a bit
• Item C

Indent by two spaces to put the text in a “code” box. Formatting doesn't work in code boxes.

Blah blah blah

Alternately, you can use the <code></code> tags.

You can create footnotes like this:

((footnote text goes here))

A number will be placed where the footnote was added while the text will appear at the bottom of the page.¹⁾

The easy way to add a table is to use the “Insert a New Table” button in the toolbar. This will bring up the table editor. Right click on the table for extra options. Once done, click Save. The formatted table will be pasted into the main editor. You must hit Save in the main editor to save it permanently.

To edit a table already made, there's a little Edit button on the bottom of the table when viewing the article as normal.
