[edit] Text Formatting

Bolding Text

To bold text, use <b></b> tags, three single quotes, or for whole lines, a semicolon.

<b>Hi!</b>

'''Hi!'''

;Hi!

  • Hi!
Underlining Text

To underline text, use <u></u> tags.

<u>Bye!</u>
  • Bye!
Striking Text

To strike text, use <s></s> tags.

<s>Hi!</s>
  • Hi!
Italicizing Text

To italicize text, use <i></i> tags or two single quotes.

<i>Hi!</i>

  • Hi!
Superscripts/Subscripts

Use <sup></sup> for superscripts and <sub></sub> for subscripts.

Hi!<sup>Bye!</sup>
  • Hi!Bye!

Bye!<sub>Hi!</sub>

  • Bye!Hi!
Other Fonts
  • <tt>This gives you typewriter font.</tt>
  • <span style="font-variant:small-caps">This gives you small caps.</span>.

Positioning and Ordering Text
  • <center></center> will center text. <left></left> and <right></right> do not work.
  • Colons indent text. Multiple colons will indent text further.
  • Astericks will bullet text, and multiple astericks will indent the bullets.
  • The # key will number text, and multiple #'s will further indent the numbering but will restart the numbering from 1.
<center>Bye!</center>
Bye!

**Bye!
***Hi!
****Bye!

Ignoring Code

Use <nowiki></nowiki> tags to ignore code.

<nowiki><b>Hi!</b></nowiki>
  • <b>Hi!</b>

[edit] Headers

To make a header, put equal signs around the text. The more equal signs, the smaller the header.

=The Biggest Header=

==A Smaller Header==

===Even Smaller===

====Miniscule====

[edit] Links

  • [[magic]] will produce magic, and when clicked will direct the browser to that page.
    • The link will appear red if it does not exist. For example, [[dragon fingernails]] does not exist and will produce dragon fingernails.
  • Any url will be automatically linked. For example, http://www.runescape.com will automatically appear as http://www.runescape.com (The link has to start with "http://")
  • A link can be named by using the "|" separator followed by its name.
    • [[magic | A Powerful Skill]] will give A Powerful Skill.
    • Exception: For linking out of runescape.wikia.com, do not use the "|" separator. [http://www.runescape.com An Awesome Game] will give An Awesome Game, and [http://www.runescape.com | An Awesome Game] will not. It will only include the "|" in its name.

[edit] Colour in Templates

  • White : #ffffff
  • Black: #000000
  • Red : #ff0000
  • Yellow : #ffff00
  • Lime/Light Green : #00ff00
  • Dark Green : #008000
  • Olive : #808000
  • Blue : #0000ff
  • Teal : #008080
  • Aqua/Cyan : #00ffff
  • Navy Blue : #000080

  • Fuchsia/Light Purple : #ff00ff

[edit] Table syntax

Tables always start on a new line with {|. Cells are then added by putting | at the beginning of a new line.

Example: 

{|
|Jagex
|Rules
|}

would yield:

Jagex Rules

Of course, it is hard to visually distinguish between the cells in the above simple table. Adding class="wikitable" will rectify that this. Also, a new row of cells can be created by adding |- on a new line.

Example: 

{| class="wikitable"
|RuneScape
|Wiki
|-
|Jagex
|Rules
|}

would yield:

RuneScape Wiki
Jagex Rules

Finally, adding in a heading involves starting a new line with ! instead of |, like so: 

{| class="wikitable"
!HP Level
!Firebuilding Level
|-
|50
|70
|}

would yield:

HP Level Firebuilding Level
50 70

It is possible to make tables more complex than this, with more columns and rows (and other features).
