==== Headings ====

The use of headings not only makes for readable text but also automatically generates a table of contents. Headings are very easy to add, simply surround the title of the paragraph with equal signs ( '=' ).

<nowiki>= Heading level 1 (top) =</nowiki>

<nowiki>= Heading level 1 (top) =</nowiki><br />

<nowiki>== Heading level 2 ==</nowiki>

<nowiki>== Heading level 2 ==</nowiki><br />

<nowiki>=== Heading level 3 ===</nowiki>

<nowiki>=== Heading level 3 ===</nowiki><br />

<nowiki>==== Heading level 4 ====</nowiki>

<nowiki>==== Heading level 4 ====</nowiki><br />

etc...

Linking is one of the most powerful aspects of a wiki, so it is important that it is understood well. First you must realise there is a difference between intra-wiki links (links to other articles on this wiki) and external links (links to external websites/pages).

The basic intra-wiki link has the following syntax: <nowiki>[[Link topic]]</nowiki> where '''Link topic''' is a page on the wiki. For example, if we wish to link to [[Main Page]] we use <nowiki>[[Main Page]]</nowiki>. ~~As you can see, these~~ topics can include spaces~~. The~~ wiki will automatically reformat ~~spaces~~ to ~~underscores~~.

The basic intra-wiki link has the following syntax: <nowiki>[[Link topic]]</nowiki> where '''Link topic''' is a page on the wiki. For example, if we wish to link to [[Main Page]] we use <nowiki>[[Main Page]]</nowiki>. These topics can include spaces, as the wiki will automatically reformat the text to the correct link.

As you can see, the text inside the double square brackets is both the destination (the page it links to) and the description (the text that shows up as link). In order to change the description you can use the pipe ('|') in the following syntax: <nowiki>[[Link topic|link text]]</nowiki>. For example: <nowiki>[[Main Page|Example]]</nowiki> becomes [[Main Page|Example]].
