[edit] links

internal links: • [[London]] yields: London; • [[WP:Help|index of ''Help!'']] yields: [WP:Help|index of Help!]]; • underscores & initial cap not required, but it's otherwise case-sensitive:; [[dim sum]] yields the same as [[Dim_sum]] but not [[DIM_SUM]]

external links: • [http://dr-bob.org] yields: [1]; • [http://dr-bob.org home page] yields: home page; • soft spaces inside brackets don't show up except between words; • hard spaces inside brackets may cause words to vanish!

anchors: • link to any internal anchor-name using #, as in; [[User:Flopzee#guidance]], which you should try now!—> User:Flopzee#guidance; • header & subheader titles are automatically anchor-names; Rabbits §§ 8.7.4 ("Fictional Ones" > "Potter" > "Imitators") could be; [[Rabbits#Imitators|Flopzee]]; • html tags can have anchors inserted in them; <div id="foo"> <meta id="foo">; with links written [[Smoking#foo|health benefits]]

formatting links: • html tags (, , , etc) only work in the "name" section inside brackets.; • Wiki ' works inside or outside brackets.

forbid a Table of Contents on the page: __NOTOC__ ...or force it with __FORCETOC__

hard space: ·ALT+0160; ·does NOT survive cut-&-paste in the editing box; ·apparently works in strings; ·width: 2 HS = 1 digit; HS is wider than soft-space

indent text

• begin the line of code with a colon ":"

• 2 colons indent twice as far

• in the same line of code, a   keeps the next line of text indented in the same paragraph, BUT...

• anywhere after a ¶ in colon(:)-indented or star(*)-indented code, a   re-sets the following text to the left margin.

hanging subheads (like this whole section): • begin the line of code with a semicolon ";"; • a new indented line of begins with return-colon "¶:" in the code; • subheaded bold automatically (no choice)

"Clarity, content, and an NPOV are more important than format. Writers are not required to follow MoS rules." –Wiki MoS (edited)

• citation styles

"It's more important to have clarity and consistency in an article's citations than to use this or that system." –cite guide (edited)

• examples?

• Italic text followed normal text looks better in many fonts using hard space + space. Compare:

The distinction for Wiki is "verifiability, not truth." –WP:Verifiability

What is that screwy half-box up there?? I can't even find it in the html.
