To underline text, use <u></u> tags. | <u>Bye!</u>
|
| Striking Text
To strike text, use <s></s> tags. | <s>Hi!</s>

[edit] Headers
| To make a header, put equal signs around the text. The more equal signs, the smaller the header.

[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).
