Creating wiki pages is very simple even if you have never used any markup language before. All you need to know is a few simple rules listed below. We hope you'll find them useful. 

@@TOC@@

==Sections, Paragraphs, Lists, Lines==

To start a new section, use the = symbol at the beginning of a paragraph:

<nowiki>
<p>
=Section=<br>
==Subsection==<br>
===Sub-subsection===<br>

<p>
Inserting @@TOC@@ in a page will unite all page sections and subsections in a table of contents.
</p>

Wiki markup ignores line breaks. You may use them to separate sentences within a paragraph. 

<p>
Use the «br» tag to break lines without starting a new paragraph.  
</p>

To start a new paragraph, press Enter twice just as you'd do in any text editor. 
</p>
</nowiki>

Making bulleted lists is simple:

<nowiki>
<p>
* begin each list point with an asterisk;<br>
** the more asterisks there are;<br>
** the deeper the list level is.<br>
</p>

<p>
# Numbered lists are not bad either:<br>
## they look well-structured;<br>
## and are easy to read.<br>
</p>
</nowiki>

 IF there is a space at the beginning of a line,
 THEN the line will be foRmaTTed the same way as it wERe typed; 
 in the same font; with no line breaks;[[no links]].

You may use space at the beginning of a line if you need to: 

*paste some previously formatted text;
*display source code; 
*create/paste ascii art (creating images by using text symbols).

A horizontal line is denoted by four dashes: 
<nowiki>
<p>
---- 
</p>
</nowiki>

==Inserting Links==

<nowiki>
<p>
To insert the link to another wiki page, put the page title in double square brackets: <br> [[Help]]</p>

<p>
In case the link and the title you want to be displayed on a page are different, type the link title after the | symbol: <br> [[Wiki Markup Help Page|Help Page]] </p> 

<p>
External links are inserted right into the text, like this: <br> http://example.com</p> 

<p>
In case you need to change the external link title, put it in single square brackets, and type your title after a space: <br> [http://example.com YourTitle]</p> 

<p>
To insert an e-mail address, use single square brackets: <br> [mailto:mail@example.com]</p> 

<p> 
To add a page to category, add the link to the desired category [[Category: Desired category]] at the bottom of the page.
</p>
</nowiki> 

==Formatting Text==

Use the following tips to format your text:

''Italics''

<nowiki>
<p>
''your text in italics goes here''
 </p>
</nowiki>

'''Bold'''

<nowiki>
<p>
'''your bold text goes here'''
 </p>
</nowiki> 

'''''Bold Italics'''''
<nowiki>
<p>
'''''your text in bold italics goes here'''''
 </p>
</nowiki>

__Underline__

<nowiki>
<p>
__your underlined text goes here__
 </p>
</nowiki>

--Strike--

<nowiki>

<p>
--text you need to strike out goes here--
 </p>
</nowiki>

Indexes: <sup>superscript</sup> and <sub>subscript</sub>

<nowiki>

<p>
&lt;sub&gt;your subscript index&lt;/sub&gt<br>
&lt;sup&gt;your superscript index&lt;/sup&gt
</p>


<p>
You may also use &lt;small&gt small text &lt;/small&gt for commentaries, special formatting for displaying &lt;code lang="language"&gt;program code&lt;/code&gt; fragments and fixed pitch text for &lt;tt&gt;technical terms&lt;/tt&gt;.
</p> 

</nowiki>

==Inserting Images==

To be able insert images to a wiki page you´ll need to previously upload them to wiki. 

Use the following links to insert various types of images:

<nowiki>
<p>
Image = [[Image:Image Title]]</p>
<p>
Image with fixed width = [[Image: Image Title | Width_px]]</p>
<p>
Image with description = [[Image:Image Title  | Description]]</p>
<p>
Thumbnail image =  [[Image:Image Title | thumb]] – the image will be compressed and aligned to the right.
</p>
</nowiki>

==HTML to Wiki Transfer==

If you have an html-formatted text that you would like to transfer here, you may do it quickly and easily. Click on '''Create new page''' on the '''Actions''' panel. Next paste your text into the editor window and switch to the wiki markup display by clicking on the Wiki icon on the formatting panel above. The html tags will be changed to wiki markup. Check the results, correct minor errors if any and press '''Publish'''. Your page is ready.
