Among many other platforms, wikis use a very basic Markdown Code to format content to present. For reference you can edit this page, by clicking on the "Edit" tab near the top of this page to view and/or edit the source code. Importantly you can see examples of how to make text italicized, bold, or both - as well how == titles == and === subtitles === are formatted on this page, along with the bullet points shown below.

Feel free to try this out now to see how this wiki page is simply formatted:

click the "View source" tab if not logged in
or click the "Edit" tab if logged in.

External links

Internal links stay on Projex.Wiki. External links go to other websites. There are different ways to present an external link. Edit to view the code:

Internal links

You'll see that this red link has no target destination page (yet), whereas this PlugNPlay Productions blue link goes to another existing wiki page. Purple links are just blue links with a history, showing that destination has already been visited (whether it remains the same or has been updated). Encode an internal link like this: [[PlugNPlay Productions]] or [[Link with no target]]

Internal link destinations may differ from the displayed text. For example (edit to view the code), this link goes to the PlugNPlay Productions page but using "this link" as text after a "|" pipe, all within double square brackets, encoded like this: [[PlugNPlay Productions|this link]]

Starting new pages

To start a new page (for an article, list, note, category, project, etc) you may either "Search Projex.Wiki" in the top right corner of all pages on this site, or edit a page adding double squared bracket containing your target [[New page name]] showing a red link to an unstarted page (unless that page has already been started and exists). Either by search or red link, you will be prompted to start the new page.

Indentation

Other indentation options and combinations:

  • bullet point
    • double bullet point
      1. double bullet point number
      • triple bullet point
  1. number
  2. number
    1. double number
    2. double number
  3. number
