A single newline

on the layout.

These can be used to separate

sentences within a paragraph.

This aids editing and

improves the diff function.

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

1. Numbered lists are also good
2. Very organized
3. easy to follow

IF a line starts with a space THEN

it will be formatted exactly
as typed;
in a technical looking font;
lines won't wrap;
ENDIF
this is useful for:
* pasting preformatted text;
* algorithm descriptions;
* ascii art;

WARNING If you make it wide,

you force the whole page to be wide and

hence less readable. Never start ordinary lines with spaces.

• First letter of target is automatically capitalized.
• 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://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_transport, which is the article with the name "Public transport".

London has good public transport.

• #Create a link to it on some other page.
• #Save that page.
• #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 Wikipedia's naming conventions.
• After creating a page, search for its title and make sure that everyone correctly links to it.

External link:

[http://www.nupedia.com Nupedia]

Or just give the URL:

http://www.nupedia.com.

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

• Only images that have been uploaded to Wikipedia can be used. To upload images, use the upload page. You can find the uploaded image on the image list. See Wikipedia:Image use policy for many more hints.

A picture: Image:Wiki.png

or, with alternate text (preferred)

Wikipedia logo 

which will be

• displayed in text only browsers, like Lynx
• displayed in any browser, when display of images is disabled by the user
• spoken in text to speech browsers, e.g. for blind people
• displayed in many browsers as a rectangle when the mouse is hoverered over the image

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

You can also write italic and bold

if the desired effect is a specific font style

rather than emphasis, as in mathematical formulas:

:F = ma

• However, the difference between these two methods is not very important, and most people choose to ignore it.
