The Binding of Isaac Wiki:Wikicode Guide

This page is a guide on basic to intermediate wikicode, for use in editing and cleaning up pages.

Simple Editing

To edit a page, click on the "edit" tab, usually near the top of the page. Then, edit the box in the page. Feel free to practice here, on this page. It's here just for you to practice.

A blank line indicates a paragraph separation.

You can link to another page by putting the name or title of that page in double square brackets. [http://bindingofisaac.wikia.com/wiki/The_Binding_of_Isaac_Wiki Main Page] becomes Main Page.

Simple Formatting

Create headers by putting text inbetween repeated equal (=) signs. The more =, the lower level the heading is.

Create a bulleted list by starting each item with an asterisk (*). You can add more asterisks to indent the bullets further.

It's ok to make editing mistakes
- You can preview your work before saving it
  - Even after saving it, you or someone else can edit it again to make it even better

You can also use colons (:) to indent text.

Three single quotes, like '''bold text''' will create bold text.

Other Stuff

If you know HTML or CSS formatting commands, they can also be used in this wiki. One useful HTML command is which creates a line break.

If you want to show what a command looks like, rather than actually implementing the command, surround it with the < nowiki > < /nowiki > (without spaces) commands.
