Sample Page

So let's get started. Here's a sample page:

{{SKWindow
| width = 250px
| margin = 0px 0px 10px 10px
| align = right
| title = Character pic
| body = blahblahblah
{{SKWindow/EmptyCell|[[Image:Icon-helmet.png|160px]]|center||2}}
{{SKWindow/NewRow}}
{{SKWindow/Cell|'''Account Name:'''|}}
{{SKWindow/Cell|Sshs|}}
{{SKWindow/NewRow}}
{{SKWindow/Cell|'''Guild:'''|}}
{{SKWindow/Cell|Divine Light}}
{{SKWindow/NewRow}}
{{SKWindow/NewRow}}
{{SKWindow/Cell|__TOC__|center||2}}
}}

<table border="0" cellspacing="10">
<tr>
<td>

<div style="margin-left: -5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: -5px; padding: 5px; padding-top: 0; padding-bottom: 0; background: 
#f9f9f9; border: 1px solid #88a; border-right-width:2px; border-bottom-width:2px;">
<div style="width: 101.5%; margin-top: -1px; margin-left: -6px; padding: 3px; background: #eee; border: 1px solid #88a;">''':: Finding Me'''</div>

</div>

<div style="margin-left: -5px; margin-right: -5px; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 5px; padding-top: 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px solid #88a; border-right-width:2px; border-bottom-width:2px;">

Basic html tags

In html, you have tags, which basically tell the browser stuff. Most tags would begin with <tag> and finish off with <tag/> or </tag>. Anything inbetween the starter tag and the finisher-er will be commanded by that tag.

So here's a list of the basic html tags which you will need, and what they do.

1. <b>bold</b>
2. <i>italic</i>
3. <br/>inserts a new line
4. <div>makes a square division around the content. It can get pretty complex and fancy with all the extra bits.<div/>
5. <table>sorts the stuff into a table<table/>

Wiki thingies

Most wikis will accept most html things, such as those listed above. But wikis also get some more special things, to make things easier. They work pretty much the same way. Here's a list of basic wiki thingies (and what they do):

1. ==heading== makes the text a heading
2. ~~~~ adds your signature
3. [["local link destination"|"link name"]] makes the "link name" clickable, which goes to the "local link destination"
4. ["external link destination" "link name"] makes the "link name" go to the "external link destination" explained later.
5. '''bold''' guess, what. There's more than one way to make bold text!
